- Опубликовано: 13 авг 2019
- This video covers the great things about this bike in detail, and tips for your next bike purchase. Mine is a prior model year & since then, Specialized Sirrus has moved towards disc brake bikes and a bit wider tires for most Sirrus 2019, 2020, 2021 models. They still offer a "Sirrus V-brake" version with steel fork: www.specialized.com/us/en/sir...

If you want a carbon fork, apparently you have to now choose their disc model and that's looking like the Sirrus SL is the most affordable model with a carbon fork on their site (list $750). It's possible your local bike shop may offer you customization options like adding a carbon fork to a V-brake Sirrus. It's up to each individual shop so inquire within.
If anyone knows of another similar model or something new coming out please post a comment & I'll update the description. Post any questions, and enjoy the video.
Some have asked about the tire size, the stock tires are 700x30 - and the rim can accomodate a wider tire.

have had this bike since 2014. bike is bullet proof. ive put on the clipless pedals and commute to work on it. love it
Thank you for taking the extra time you did to explain the details. I have just returned from the bike store and was just starting “buyer’s regret” but after your well presented review I’m feeling quite proud of myself as a superior judge of bicycles. Thanks again and keep up the good work.
instablaster...
Excellent review appreciate the time you put into this and the info. Just bought one and already love it.
Excellent review Keith. That’s a beautiful bike. I just bought a 2019 Sirrus (last year’s model). Because of that, I was able to get it for a little less and it does have the hydraulic breaks which weren’t particularly important to me either... But I hope that I enjoy the bike as much as you have. Cheers!
Your thoroughness on your reviews fantastic
Great review! This video is all anyone needs to watch while purchasing their first bike.
I got a Specialized Sirrus last month for fitness as the gyms are closed. I wasn't looking for anything specific, just anything under $500. Paid $475. Rode it for ~100 miles so far and I think it's great.
It's very nimble and lightweight. Pretty comfortable for longer distances. I've been on this bike for upto 25 miles at a stretch and did not experience any discomfort at all.
thanks, glad you found the right bike. thats been my experience too, its been comfortable the whole time I'm riding. have a good day!
I just ordered this bike today! Your video is fantastic. Love the coverage and detailed information.
Harvey, that's great - thanks for the kind words and I hope the bike is just what you need!
@@KeithBlade i was thinking of getting the spesialized crosstrail,but i will rarely do offroad,so i chose this one
@@bionickchief sounds good, hope you enjoy it!
@@KeithBlade im wondering tho,what if i got the crosstrail and also bought a pair of the sirrus tires(or same type in general)wouldnt it perform the same way on the streets pretty much?i mean,if its like 5% less effiecient then im willing to do that since i would practically have 2 bikes for the price of one...ill do my research but feel free to share your opinion :P
A great review, really helps me figure out the right questions to ask, I am considering a Sirrus at the moment
Thank you. It's a very comfortable bike and as a couple others have noted, you dont get the ride fatigue that can happen while biking.
This is a well above average video..of a great bike. Thanks :)
Man I can't thank you enough I'm a begginer that's looking for a hybrid bike and your review explained what I really need thanks!
Thanks, Sherief... glad I could help!
Thank you Keith, excellent review.
Excellent to hear a genuine review, and not a sales pitch, and your usage and requirements were the same as my own. Thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
Appreciate your insight on this bike. Been passing up V brakes but you got me rethinking it. V brakes with a carbon fork! Wow, definitely an unusual spec. But lightweight is key for sure so Ill have to check this thing out. Excellent review. Been looking at the Marin Fairfax 3 but your bike has me rethinking things. Wish all bike manufacturers would just do FULL SHIMANO AHHHH
Enjoyed your review. Bght today elite carbon love it. Nicely done & enjoyed 🚲👍
Just bought a 2020 Specialized Sirrus 3.0 disc today. After my first 10 mile ride, I gotta say I think I'm going to love it.
Right on! thanks for posting.
Really good review, thankyou for taking the time, so many others will benefit from your insights. I notice you have answered pretty much every question posted by your audience and given mainly comprehensive answers, not just brief responses. I am looking at a new hybrid fitness bike myself and Spcialized is very near the top of the list along with Giant (I already have a Giant MTB that has been great) and Merida. Having heard your views I am going to look more closely at specification and narrow down my choices. Thanks again for your review and regards from the UK.
thanks, Richard! Glad I could help, and all the best with your search
Nice review. Exactly what i was looking for.
i bought this bike when it first came out and still love it have so many miles on it and ride it almost every day the fork is worth it and still like it and i am hard to please especially for the price!!!
Well detailed. I bought one right after watching this.
Fantastic, enjoy it.
Excellent review for someone like me who is new to the game. Thanks for the detailed explanation of everything.
Glad I could help!
Thanks for the review !! Just got one!!
Fantastic, Cedric - enjoy!
Great explanatory video. Just bought the Sirrus 1.0 today and it rides excellent. Great information here! Thank you!
GB GB dude it’s hard to get any bike at the moment. You got me thinking now.
I am thinking of getting the Sirrus 1.0 for my 12 year old daughter. I notice it doesn't have any suspension, is it still comfortable?
@@Anna-vz5tn If she’s just riding on asphalt or pavement it’s great. If not, get suspension.
@@mark83175 thank you for the quick reply. It's too bad, we both fell in love with the design and how comfortable it is. We checked it out today at a local bike shop and I was ready to purchase but the suspension bit was a sticking point. She will use the bike on light trails, sidewalks, parks.
@@Anna-vz5tn I’ve hit cracks in pavement and it was Uncomfortable, but I’m a 237 lb man. I imagine kids handle it differently. Enjoy!
Great review, very helpful!!
Glad you think so!
Great review. Thanks for taking the time to provide what we need to look for. I am looking to get a hybrid/road bike with flat bars and looking at the same brands as you have except Fuji....this will help me. Of course, bikes seem to be in shortage lately...
Thanks! Fuji makes a nice bike also, you get alot for the money. Might be another option for someone looking to save a little money
Great review, I almost already had decided for this bike, and just having to choose between this and the carbon version..
Will deffently think of just going with this, for economic reasons..
I have V-Brakes too and they work just fine.
Good review. Thank you
Great vid. Just got one last week, Disk model, I'm just getting back into riding at 63, love this bike!
Thanks, Pablo! Enjoy it...
Thank you for your review of the Specialized Sirrus!
Very helpful and informative video thank you for sharing.
Awesome bike. Had same but in blue got stolen 2wks back. I'm bumed out.... some of the stuff you've mentioned is absolutely true...I'm avid hill and road runner...so its excellent frame stability and well balanced bike....👍
Sorry to hear that news... I hope you are able to replace it with another great bike soon.
it’s really refreshing watching an honest owners review and not a paid sales pitch. just one remark, these shimanos are not even second in their line, nor third, might be rather fifth or sixth spot, after dura, ultegra, tiagra, sora, grx.. bit if they are so great, cant wait to see how ultegra performs
Thanks, Milan! Yes these Shimanos have handled every challenge I have thrown at them! They are really nice quality.
Just purchased a specialized bike for commuting and leisure.Looks great value and a nice looking bike.
It really is! Thanks for your comment.
It's worth mentioning in the 2x vs 3x crankset, that it does depend a lot on the gear range. Often times, the front set is wider-spaced on the 2x (e.g., 32/48 instead of 28/38/48) and so is the rear (e.g., 11-34 vs. 12-32 or even 14-28.) This can result in highest and lowest gear ratios that approximately the same. The difference is that there is less overlap in gear ratios and also less weight with the 2x. Usually, the 2x will be more expensive (at least for now), but it's not as simple as 3x is better for climbing. Most Walmart bikes have that terrible 28/38/48 + 14-28 set.
That is an excellent point. I would say for someone that doesn't do their research the 3 ring is safer, because some bikes with 2 rings have poor ratio range. But you are correct especially with newer nicer bikes where they've engineered it that some of the two chain ring options provide nearly the same overall ratios which is arguably better and more efficient. . I think the weight is negligible on the third ring up front and one nice thing is there's very little thinking when you quickly need a low gear you don't have to worry where the other sprocket is set you just drop the front one in into Low. Thanks for posting.
Very thorough, thank you 😊
Glad you enjoyed it!
I went with Cannondale Quick 5 Disc for the exact reasons. for 2019 model and only year, it has the smooth/narrower WTB Slick 32mm combined with reflective strips. exact same Shimano gear combo as this one in the video. Noted by Keith, 3x9 is a must for hill climbing and speed on paved roads. for anyone looking for a new bike, disc is a must item and once you get used to low maintenance and high performance of a hydraulic brakes, you can't go back to the traditional rim brakes. looks like current trend to save $$, 3x is disappearing in favor for 1x11/12 setup to keep things simpler.
Johnny, thanks for the detailed post and congrats on the Cannondale. I totally agree the 3 rings up front is so much nicer & useful even though the trend is getting away from it, thanks for pointing that out. The derailleur can handle it with ease and there is not much weight with an extra ring so no idea why the trend is changing. I'll never give them up LOL. And indeed disc brakes are great for those that want the upgrade. Thanks!
Specialized makes nice bikes. A bit expensive, but I'm a fan. I got my Sirrus X 5.0. No regrets! I thought the future shock was a gimmick, I'm now a believer!
Totally agree.
Great review. Thx
Glad it was helpful!
I like the colour too
Great review! Thanks for share your experience.
Where can I but the Specialized fork? I hace a Sirrus 2018, I Would like to change for a Cabon one.
Ty
I didn't buy a separate fork, I upgraded to the bike that had the carbon fiber fork at the time of my bike purchase. But nearly all bike manufacturers and bike shops have parts you can order from the maker. But you wouldn't need a Specialized one if you can't find it, any good carbon fork should do. your local bike shop should be able to help. You might want to test ride a couple bike with the carbon fork first to see if you can feel a difference. For me it's substantial. Thanks
Keith Blade 🙌🏻
Thank you for the information peace
Thanks!
I agree about disc brakes, great if you like them but rim brakes are all I need so not with the extra cost
Great video man.
I love the triple crank setup.
How much was the carbon fork ?
Do you know the weight difference, or the weight of the carbon fork ?
What size are those tires 25c 28c 32c?
Hi AB, the carbon fork was already on the bike so not sure what that adds to the price. but on other bikes I've seen it's at least a hundred dollars more. I'd be guessing at the weight difference, but the lighter bikes in that class had carbon forks... I really bought it for the vibration dampening I feel it is noticeable.
Very informative video! Thank you! I do have a question. Found one that someone is selling for $450. It's a M and I'm 5'5". Would that be too big for me?
Thanks! As for sizing, I wouldn't be able to say for sure. It would be close. I'm 5'9" and squarely a M bike frame. Best thing is to get sized up at your local bike shop if possible.
Great review....
Thank you!
Keith, thank you for the video, is it now called Sirrus 3.0 "without X" correct? and which one do u recommend "disc or non-disc version? --- is it fast bike? sorry for the questions, but willing to buy as soon as possible.
the models change all the time, so I look more at the components than the model. The V brakes work very well for me, but if you ride in water and dont mind the price go for disc.
What's is big difference between this fitness hybrid and a regular hybrid?
Thanks for the info! Thinking about getting this bike soon.
Where are some good bike trails in OC?
Depending on where you live, most bike shops have trail info or free handouts on local trails. In South OC - the beach trails are great, for something more private checkout Aliso Summit Trail, and Aliso and Woods Canyon Park. If you like paved paths, the Aliso Creek Trail is great.
Hi Keith, great video! Thorough review and a nice insight into this bike.
I’ve been eyeing some Sirruses from 2019/2020. Carbon fork and hydraulic disc brakes.
Have the same question as the feller earlier. Seems like a large would be good for me, I’m almost 5ft 10” (182 cm) measured barefoot.
But your just slightly shorter, could you describe the feel of the size and what would make a large too big?
Again, great video!
Greetings from Sweden :)
Jesper, greetings from the USA & glad you liked the video. It's really best to get sized up at a local bike shop. You aren't that much taller than I am, so it's still possible a Medium would work for you. When a bike is too large, you'll find yourself stretching to reach the handlebars and the frame will be higher in your crotch area of your pants (especially on road bikes because of the frame orientation, this is less noticeable on a hybrid). With a longer frame the handlebars are further away and you might feel like you are leaning over more to reach them rather than riding in a sitting position. On a road bike, you are naturally leaning over even on a smaller bike as that's how road bikes are normally designed (this is also because of the dropped position handlebars). Also a larger frame does add weight! If you can ride a few locally and get a bike shop's opinion that is best, otherwise if you feel like you're in between a medium & large then I might go with the medium to save weight, since you and I are almost the same size. A Medium is totally right for me in this bike, I'm nowhere near needing a large. Hope this helps.
Yes your height wise Large is correct...
just got a 1.0 for 250 basically brand new from fb last night. cant wait to put some miles on her
awesome deal, enjoy the new ride!
How good this bike is for indian roads?
Good review
Thanks glad to help !
Hi, I'm considering that bike. Does this model come in 27 inch wheels? Very good review.
Hi Mickey, I checked and the tire size is 700 x 30C in metric, if you Google this you'll get the USA sizes which is basically 27.5 inches, or 28 inches. Just note this exact model is probably no longer available from Specialized but they have some that are close to the Sirrus Sport. If at all possible try to ride one or view a few at a local bike shop before deciding. It's a great bike I would totally buy it again! Thanks
what about Bianchi c sport 2020 ?, specialised sirrus with disc brakes ( live in london, its rains all the times)
Havent tried the Bianchi... but if it rains heeps in London (and especially if lots of hills) then disc may be the way to go....
I have the 1.0 and my brakes make a lot of noise. Do you know if there is a difference between V brakes and road brakes? Thank you.
Hi, V brakes & disc are main types. There are many reasons brakes can make noise. Best thing is take it to a local bike shop & most will evaluate it for free for you.
IDK about what you're saying to do with the 3 by setup, a lot of mountain bikes now days are actually moving to 1X11 or 1X12. The technology is better today and they can get a wider gear range with less gears. Many of the gears in a traditional 3 by setup are redundant, almost copies of other gears.
I just purchased the 2019 Sirrus Sport, with the disc brakes. It's an amazing bike so far, only had it for a few days. But it will get worked as I use a bike as my only form of transport. I added full coverage fenders, a rear rack and some panniers. Even with all the extra's added on it still seems much lighter than my 2015 Giant Trance MTB.
Hi Greg, it's a preference. And this conversation reminds me of when I was a teen and would swap out rear sprockets to get more speed even if a few teeth smaller. So here's the thing - some mountain bike manufacturers are going with 1 or 2 chainrings up front to increase clearance over terrain. To go over a boulder or log for example. a larger chainring can get in the way. But you give up gear range for that. For someone doing that heavy hardcore mountain biking then the Sirrus is probably the wrong bike. Yes you are correct there is redundancy in a 3 chainring crank, but it is not correct that you can get a wider range of gears with less gears. What I mean is if I have a larger gear up front than you and equal size smallest gear in the back, my bike is going to be faster than yours. Period. Likewise if I have a tiny 3rd chainring up front and we have the same size lowest gear in the rear, my bike is going to pedal easier than yours up the biggest hills. Yes there is redundancy, but's it's the far end of both ranges that can't be disputed., and that's what I see as the value with the 3rd ring. And again what's the harm in a 3rd chainring, the derailleurs can handle it and it's less than on ounce in weight. Thanks.
Does sirrus v brake frames has a provision for disc brake or I mean do it has a brake mount for disc brake for future upgrade.
Not sure about he provision but swapping them for disc also means getting new hubs or rims... I'd say if you want disc brakes get them on the bike you are purchasing now it will probably be cheaper in the long run.
Hi, nice bike I have just one comment narrow tier don't have to mean that they are faster than a bigger tire of the same model that you have on the bike. Bigger tire have an advantage that you can run them on less pressure and eliminate buzz from road .
hi Jan, im not sure i would agree. its about rolling resistance. thinner tires have much less rolling resistance via less friction with thr ground. I have personally seen this to be true riding next to people on the road on my Sirrus, those with mountain bikes and fat tires have to work harder to achieve my speed. also true with coasting. Think sbout it - all the racing road bikes (Tour de France, etc) have the super thinnest tires. Thats for speed. Have a good day.
What saddle bag is that?
I’m a rookie bike dude, and looking to buy a bike. My brother mentioned this. But I’m a noobie. What is the difference between v brakes and disc brakes?
Disc brakes have more stopping power, and grip better when wet, also hydraulic disc brakes to me have a much better feel than V-Brakes. Also with a disc brake you can change the rotor size at adjust your braking power.
Great review! I see that this video was made 3 years ago. Do you still have this bike and what do you think about the Sirrus 3.0?
Hi Paul thanks - yes I still own this bike and I'm heading out shortly for a ride today 😀. I'm still very happy with it and would buy it again. I'm not super familiar with the 3.0 but usually as they go up in price they get even better. Specialized had gone to slightly wider tires since I bought mine, I think most of them come with at least 32mm now which is probably a good thing. If you can't get their new suspension stem on your model, there are some great aftermarket options that I'm planning on doing a review about soon. These suspension stems smooth the ride big time and negate the need for a carbon fork.
@@KeithBlade The Sirrus 3.0 comes with a carbon fork. I did not know that you could get a carbon fork put on it. Who did that for you and do you have the option when ordering? Thanks
@@p-dub7422 I guess I was one of the lucky ones and got the Sirrus Sport Elite when it was available, a less common submodel, and it included a Specialized fork from the factory as far as I can tell. I got it brand new from the bike shop and the fork was already on it. The 3.0 looks like a nice bike but I would read the reviews, I pulled it up on Specialized site and it's only got a 2.8 out of 5 stars, shockingly. I'm not sure why but maybe read the reviews and see if there's something up with that model. I honestly after all this time can't find anything wrong with mine.
@@KeithBlade The bike initially had some issues with it and I think it was the Sirrus X 3.0. There was some recall issues that got fixed. That might reflect the ratings earlier. The ratings that I saw were about 4 and 1/2 stars. Also the Sirrus 3.0 comes with a carbon front fork and it is light with disc breaks. Your bike reminds me of the Sirrus 3.0 but without the breaks. Thanks
Thanx a lot for your well detailed review. I really have my heart set on a sirrus 3.0 when they are available in stock. My biggest concern is to choose correct size. I am 5'11 and 32 inch inseam, and fall between medium, and large status.
Try the medium first. I find the large ones a little sluggish.
Hi, I'm 5'9 and about a 30-32 inch pants length and the M is fine for me, if I were a little taller I'd probably still want a Medium. Large is big, you might still be okay with a medium as someone else also commented.
@@KeithBlade I'm 184 cm - do you think medium is ok?
Also, what year is your bike? This spec looks to be unavailable now. How much does it weigh?
hi Soc1100 thanks for your comments. I think the model year on mine is a 2016 or 2017 but I am not sure and was not able to verify either way because I can't find it anywhere online. But they haven't changed much since, I can tell you it's mostly different paint on these bikes with only minor differences compared to prior years. Looking at Specialized website the 2019 model seems to have a slightly different Shimano derailleur set and a steel fork. Seems like you have to now get disc brakes to get a carbon fork, but I've found sometimes the dealers have more models available than what is on Specialized's website & they're usually happy to break out a catalog & tell you all the options available or even order you a different fork. I have heard that the Elite submodel (mine) throws in 1 extra gear in the back hub, fender mounts, and in-tube cabling (where the cables go into the frame, kinda nice). And yes the V brakes are really nice, I never have to mess with them. The Small (S) frame model weighs 23.5 pounds, I think mine (M) is 24.5 pounds for the entire bike complete, if that helps. That's what my old notes say from when I bought the bike at the shop but I couldn't verify that info online. I think it's pretty accurate though. Hope this helps ya!
@@KeithBlade I figured it was around that year
I think 2018 and up are now disk. They should give you an option between disk and rims. Not all people live where it rains. I live in Phoenix.
I have the 2019 model ,its a solid ,reliable bike although a bit on the slow side which could be down to the bike geometry.
Its like the more effort you put in to going faster is wasted effort because the bike dont care lol.
I upgraded the cassette to a 10 speed, fitted a deore rear deraileur and grx 800 crankset 1x narrow wide and some sammy slick tyres.
Its now a bit lighter but not faster , i intend to upgrade the wheels next .
I have 3 other bikes , 2 mountain bikes and another hybrid and they are all faster than the sirrus but speed is not everything ,i still enjoy the bike
I feel like they were faster when they came with narrower tires like mine in the video
Trek Sport FX 6 is a nice higher end alternative.
43k views, 500 likes, think specialized should send you a couple of brand new models as a thank you note
I love my Sirrus 2019.
I can't get enough of mine either. Great bike.
Super good review on skipping disc brakes . I love putting my bike in the car. Disc brakes are heavy and need so much repair and care. They are just a gimmick .
Thanks... disc brakes have their purpose but yeah I really prefer to skip them if possible.
On long rides few hours long on smooth roads what kind of average speed can u achieve?
Maybe 15-20 mph avg? Top speed I ever attained on this bike was about 30-32 mph down a mile long grade and it felt very dangerous due to the grade of hill. 15mph is a nice cruising speed
Keith Blade thank you
What sizes and brand was your tires on this video?
Tires are made by Specialized and says Espoir 700x30C and in brackets (30x622). The rim size is stock 622x15. They also have a highly reflective whitewall ring on each side which is nice for safety at night. If you are going to spend more time on trails and off-road I would recommend a slightly more knobby or more aggressive tire. If you're going to be on roads mostly stick with these because they are great you can go really fast and they can still handle some dirt and mild trails
last year i got a L-size specialize bike, with disk brakes, very nice, but cant' figure how to pack it into my car, lol, sonata, i guess remove the front tire and there u go, not a serious biker as you can tell, but like to goto places and ride, appreciate any demo on that.
Yes you have to remove the front tire. I can fit my Specialized in the cabin of a Honda Accord with the wheel off. It depends on the type of axle you have but normally removing the wheel is quite easy. There are a couple of safety precautions, so you might want to take a photo of your front wheel and visit your local bike shop, they will be happy to demonstrate on one of their bikes how to remove the front rim. The entire process takes less than 1 minute.
@@KeithBlade awesome, here in Ottawa/Canada, plenty of nice bike paths around the city and outside, this summer did 700km on the same routes more or less, now want to drive to places and ride, 1.5 months left before snow. thanks.
Disc brakes are the way to go.
I just purchased it today, my only problem is the seat, it is really bothering me.
Mine was really comfortable, I haven't had to replace it.
@@KeithBlade I hv big muscular ass... I am 260 lb
I went with vbrakes too...after having disk... easier to work on.and why pay $200 more?
For sure... disc brakes have their place but I've had nothing but great luck with my V-brakes and I almost never need to do anything to them.
@@KeithBlade I got a bike 20 years ago with disk brakes cause they looked cool. And yes they good for Mountain Bikers aka Downhiller's...but for an avg biker touring...NOT Worth the price gap. IMO
Can this bike be used for gravel? (sirrus disk)
Yes I think it could. But I'd look for one of the newer models with 32mm tires, or put 32 mm tires on for gravel. For more info see my review about Nishiki vs Specialized I talk about tires.
@@KeithBlade thanks, if you visit Colombia, you are welcome in my house in the coffee region. Here we can ridind a bike between mountains
I want to buy a sirrus 1.0 or 2.0. Anyone can give me a EU reseller? They all out of stock and order from outside EU costs, custom are high. Thanks in advance
There is a bike shortage currently the USA too, you might consider waiting til at least summer to see if there is more stock in Europe. Its been a very weird year.
Any idea if the siruis 6 x has release brakes
Not sure...

@@KeithBlade Hello. Does the frame of this sirrus 1.0 bike support wider tires? 35?
@gonzalomunoz6819 hi, mine is the Sirrus Sport. I put larger tires on, I think mine are 32. They fit fine. There is a little room left over so it's possible you could do 35 on mine but I haven’t tried those. Please see my video on Continental tires I put on, they are incredible and highly recommended.

@@vbprog225 I had a nice Takara one time (similar to Trek) from Japan, it was a large frame... I constantly felt like I was leaning over too far on the bike and it was difficult getting on & off the bike, but it was a road bike though where you do lean over more. You might be fine if you're a little taller, can't hurt to ride it I guess but might also be nice to test drive any Specialized model at your local bike shop in a Medium frame just to see.

@@dcantautor www.specialized.com/us/en/sirrus-3-0/p/174692 - is this what you mean? and is it fast bike ? thanks for the great video
What is the side of the tire?700c x ??? Wide?
The stock tire is 700x30 C. the rim can probably handle a wider tire as an option.
What year is this? All I can find is disk
Mine is not current model year but there is still a "Sirrus V-brake" model available for current 2019-2020 models. But unfortunately Specialized appears to really be favoring the disc models on their website. If you Google "Specialized Sirrus V brake" you will find it, I cannot say what else is different from my bike as I haven't seen this one in person. It does look like it comes with a lower price tag though.
How much air can you put on the tube?
It depends on your exact tire. The tire should show the proper inflation threshold on the sidewall.
Keith Blade ok man thanks
breaks are not so good, u should go for hydraulic disc breaks its a big difference
Hi Keith, wondering if this hybrid bike allows to mount a rack on the back for a child seat?
Hi Kenneth, what I can tell you is mine has two removable bolts on each upper frame tube that descends to the rear wheel (the back triangle of the frame). These bolts are high up on these tubes almost near the seat clamp. Then there are two empty threaded ports on each side of the frame at the rear hub (on the frame once again), for a total of four threaded ports. obviously something is meant to mount here, could be for fenders or a seat - I am not sure. Perhaps the seat manufacturer may have a list of compatible bikes otherwise try emailing Specialized and see if they can give more info on these screw ports. Thanks.
Never understood the fitness category... get the heaviest crappest bike. That’s just added fitness as it’s so hard to cycle.
Cost?
I think I paid around $600 for the one in the video, depending on submodels and options these bikes can be more expensive than this.

The seat post is garbage but the bike is amazing
@arthurpenfield8229 I haven't had any issues with the seat post, what happened with yours?
narrow tires are overated, disc brakes are overated.
Worst bike I have ever owned. I had problems when new, and now three years later I am going to throw it away because so many things fell apart on it ! Total garbage.
Sorry to hear that. it's defintely not been the norm on mine nor from feedback ive seen from others in the comments. hope your next bike treats you better!
