Specialized Sirrus X 4.0 2020 (THE DO EVERYTHING BIKE!!) *RECALL EXPLAINED*
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 июл 2024
- This a 2020 specialized sirrus x 4.0 model and im just showing the color of the bike and also the features this bike has to offer.
I do go over the recall claims for the crank which it is just cleaning old lock tight and applying new lock tight and re applying.
also go over the future shock of the bike..
If yo have any questions please feel free top leave them down in the comment section below and I will get back to you as soon as possible
I have put 158 miles this month on my 4.0 so far, and love it. I asked the local bike shop about the recall and they said the same as you. I have had zero issues with the cranks. The future shock is great, it smooths out the blacktop, and gravel roads. The 10 speed is more than enough for how I ride, and I love the single ring up front. All in all I'm extremely happy with my purchase, and recommend this bike to anyone considering a new ride.
Congratulations on the new bike and im happy its all working out for you... the bike is a very nice all around bike and i think they hit it out of the park with this design

Just received an x5 and was confused with changing gears until I read your answers to a few comments. Thanks for the video and answers. I am a novice bike rider and need all the knowledge I can get to feel comfortable.
thats awesome!!! and thank you so much for watching, you got yourself such a nice bike there and everyone is dying to have it so enjoy that bike and have some good rides :))
I really like the one by in the front because there is less to go wrong. I really love your videos and your honesty thank you and keep up the great work.
Thanks so much, I appreciate that a lot. I’ll have more videos coming soon
Just purchased this bike last week and I love it. Rides smooth. Fun to ride.
I bought this bike a few days ago in storm grey. I preferred navy, but when my local shop called to offer me the storm grey that had just arrived I decided to take a look at it. It looks much better in person than the online photos...it’s really an amazing color contrast with the black tire/rim combination, and seems a good balance between lighter or darker color choices found on other models. So after a short ride I warmed to the bike and the color and took it home. I’m very happy with it and as others have noted, it’s a joy to ride. I have a 10 year old Trek 7300 that I’m keeping and had initially considered updating to a Trek Dual Sport 3 or 4, but decided on this much lighter Sirrus. My neighbors up and down the block have already commented on how nice it looks.
Awesome man congratulations!!! The bike is amazing and a perfect everything bike. Your gonna have a blast
The guy at specialized said some times those 2 Allen screws have come lose, when the bikes come right out of the factory or box , but other then that , don’t worry, what’s u all opinion.??
Excellent bike. Got one for daughter today. I also checked Sirrus X 3.0 which was very slightly (about a lb) heavier than 4.0 due to aluminum fork vs carbon fork in 4.0. One more observation, Sirrux X 3.0 is balanced w.r.t weight on front and back, but X 4.0 is slightly lighter in the front due to carbon fork (this weight difference front to back is very acceptable for small size, but I found it very noticeable in X 4.0 Large size).
i got mine the same day i watched your video .. i was lucky , becuase afterwards i check my LBS website and they had one in stock! woo hoo! same color too! sold my sirrus 2.0 to my friend
Thanks for the support man!!! I’m happy you got your bike 😁😁
Thanks for the review. My bike frame just cracked on a ride after 15 years of riding so I am researching bikes and think I have narrowed it down to this bike based on the style of riding I do. I want to wait to grab the 2021 however. The $50 extra is worth it to me for the colour alone (I love the 2021s yellow, where these 2020 blues do not look good to me).
Thanks for watching, and I understand that 100 percent, your gonna wanna ride something in the color you want, so $50 bucks is nothing if it means your gonna love it that much more
I bought mine few months ago and I really love it I wish I were 20 years younger
That’s awesome!! The bike should do that for you :)
Due to o¿your review, I decided to buy it!, it has just arrived!, Thanks!, regards from Mexico
that is awesome I am glad to hear it I hope you enjoy the new bike!!!!
Finally picked up my Sage Green X 5.0, love it!
thats awesome!!! the sage green color is amazing!!! congratulations my friend
@@GCPerformance18 thanks buddy, too bad you're on the east coast, I'd let you do a review
@@james007bray That would be awesome lol make my life easier btu seriously thats awesome no the bike purchase
I am 6ft with 33" inseam. I am at the end of large and start of extra large. What would be better? The stand over on the large is 31.9" and the XL is 32.7. Thanks
, like the video and thinking of buying the sirrus X 4.0 but my question is "what's the maximum riders weight for the bike? I'm 275lbs and don't want it to bend under strees.
Great review! I have the same exact bike. Same color too. Been to the recall process never had a problem after they fixed it. My crank fell off tho, that was before mine get fixed (recall). Loving this bike so far its just that hard to keep up to road bikes lol.
Lol get some carbon wheels 😁😁 lol and yes I’m glad you got that all handled for the recall
Makes my head explode cranks are/were falling off a $1300 dollar bike. It could easily get someone killed commuting. Someone should seriously get kicked in the nuts, not even kidding.
Nice bike ..other than that feature.
fendermon yea man just make sure your local store tightens it
@@GCPerformance18 Dealer told me a white dot on the crank means the recall was done. Hopefully they are on top of it now. Cheers
@@fendermon okay thats good to know I will keep a look out, thanks
Hello, thanks for making these very informative reviews. I was leaning towards the Trek FX4 Sport after watching one of your reviews on it and now have my eye on the Specialized Sirrus X 4.0. It's not a full carbon, but the price point is way more appealing. Would you recommend one over the other? And is there a color you recommend?
Glad I could help
Thanks for creating and sharing this video! You note the medium weighs 23 pounds 11 ounces; is that factory info or did you actually weigh it?
A couple of corrections:
1). You note that ‘all’ X models have the Future Shock; I believe X 4.0 models and above have the Shock, below 4.0 do not.
2) You note that ‘all’ Shimano derailleurs have the clutch; not all do.
Back with another question... Do you know if you can set up the wheels that come on the 4.0 as tubeless? I read somewhere that you can only do it with the wheels on the 5.0. Thanks!
the wheels are not tubeless ready but im sure you can make them tubeless ready get some nice duct tape and some vslves and tubeless ready tires and your good to go
Man so many good looking bikes I still can't decide if Trek or Specialized is more worth it
I’ll be honest there both really great companies and you can go wrong between the two of them. Just pick the color or design you like more because typically if you like the bike design more, you will ride it more
Great review. This looks like a non electric Vado SL 5.0.
yea very similar just without the front shock
Nice video...great info. With only one chain wheel of 1x10. Would it be a problem to tackle steep hills?
depends on the gradient but usually not, because that front chainring isnt that big.
Awesome bike!
I think so too!
How difficult is front and rear wheel removal with this bike, in case I need to fix a flat tire? I currently have quick-release hubs on my bike, but I noticed the 2020 Sirrus X 4.0 doesn't have them. Thanks for the help.
very eays all you have to do is have an alan key with you and its just a 6mm alan key and it just un threads and you pull it out and then from there its the exact same, very simple, easier then quick release because you dont have to worry about putting the wheel in strait
@@GCPerformance18 ...Thanks for the reply and information. I know this is a very basic skill, but I believe a simple "how-to" video showing the removal and re-install of front and rear wheels for this type of Specialized bicycle set-up might be helpful. I looked around, but could not find any videos on YT. Hope the suggestion helps. Kudos. 👍
@@diamonddavemusic like just to remove them from the bike??? of course I could probably do something like that
Awesome!!!
Thanks for the support!!
Hello,
Specialized Sirrus 4.0 Satin Flake Silver a few days ago. Really concerned about the recall you are talking about. Do you know if my model has this problem as well?
Also , what do you think about “Specialized Sirrus 4.0 “ model in general?
Yes it does but it is a very simple fix just call the shop you got it from and ask them to double check remove the bolt, clean lock tight and then put back in with new lock tight
Great vid, thanks for the info. What’s the weight for the size LG? I just watched your Sirrus X 3.0 2021 and the weight of the that LG you said was nearly 26lbs and this one is 23 something. Thanks!
Yes I don’t have a large here but hopefully soon 😁😁
what do you think of the WTB byways 44s on this bike? .. i like the pathfinders, but i am curious about the byways
Not familiar with those tires, I’m sure they would be a great substitute. WTB makes great products
Thanks for this video. Now I know exactly what the issue is I will do the repair myself. It's a great bike but we have the one without the future shock system and it's hard on the rider on uneven ground. Can it be retro fitted to the existing system or is it an expensive option?
No unfortunately not, the bikes are made to house the future shock and if not the right model, it won’t take. But look into buying a new stem that has spring/rubber in it and it moves up and down, gives very little play up and down and kind of acts like a future shock
@@GCPerformance18 ok. Thanks for the information 👍
@GC Performance, does the sirrus X 4.0 comes with a set of helper springs .. i have seen that some bikes come with a set of them in the manual packet so you can adjust. i am hoping my LBS didnt stiff me and kept them
yes they do. just ask them if they have any laying around im sure they will help :)
@@GCPerformance18 right on! today i went to the LBS and the owner gave me the set of springs- 3 springs.. i told him i only need two, since when i ask he said it came with meduim installed .. low and behold when i got home and disassembled the thing , it had NO HELPER SPRING in there . i am gald he gave me the whole set lol. i seen online that folks got the same surprise .. the system will still work , but what a difference .. it sagged to easily when i got the bike, i weighed 247? at the time i got the bike .. but man it is PROPER now! i put the yellow one in- firmest.. the sad thing is i can see so being turnt off and calling it a gimmick when they test the bike at shop. chances are it doesnt have the helper spring installed, a diservice to specialized, but specialized fault . they should install the medium at the factory IMO , to avoid this
@@beasz1974 very nice!! I told you they would helkp yopun out
I'm shopping for a bike, and this is at the top of my list. Can you elaborate on why you call this the "DO EVERYTHING BIKE!!"? Thank you.
because it can go distance, it is lightweight, can go on gravel and dirt roads and comfrotable with the future shock....... but also can be used for relazing rides around the neighborhood because it si not so aggressive
Is the size medium still available? I’d like to buy it. Where in FL are you located? You mentioned the Everglades
yea it is still available send me an email grantcordery@gmail.com and ill see if were close to each other
I bought this exact bike for my wife 1 wk ago, sort of concerned,but mec at Incycle said don’t worry just do regular check ups on nut and bolts , just double check nothing gets lose.should I be concerned. ,if I could I would by a small size Diverge in S or Ss size but nothing available , what u all opinion,?
yea these bikes are really nice and dont need a lot of manitance
Cool bike. Would a 1x front crank be ok for road hill climbing?
Depends on how steep, honestly you would have to get the bike and try it but worst case if it is to steep get a smaller front chain ring
I just wanted you to know, I just got a brand new specialized allez E5 road bike 2021, it is definitely the best bike I've ever owned, and it is also the fastest bike I have ever owned I could hit 20 miles an hour and that's just cruising
That’s awesome man!! I appreciate the support
@@GCPerformance18 thank you GC, it was a gift.
Awesome review! I got super lucky and snagged one of these online from my LBS recently when they got a small back order shipment. One thing that’s throwing me off is the smooth stem cap; there’s no bolt. I’m planning on changing out the existing stem on the bike, but the smooth stem cap is making me think maybe you have to use the stock stem because of the future shock or something?? Or am I just overthinking it and you’re actually able to change out the stem. Thanks!
Also, are you able to remove the bash guard on the front chainring? I’d like to take mine off if possible.
You can change the stem no problem that top part just unscrews. The way you tighten down the play in the headset is the future shock adjustment with a 2mm and 2.5mm Alan key. But you can swap out the stem but you need an adapter for the stem. But any stem can be used
Yea you can remove it. You have to take off the bolts on the back to remove it. And maybe have to buy new bolts to
Remove it
GC Performance Oh so on the Future Shock 1.5 you can actually adjust the play in the shock by opening up the top? That’s good to know. I read that you can only adjust the 2.0 since has that knob.
GC Performance appreciate the quick responses, thanks!
Did they fix or change the crank system in the 2021 model for the Sirrus X 4.0? Or just the same as the 2020 where they got it back for recall?
Same cranks my friend
The cranks are the same...even on the X 5.0. For the 2021 fix, they use RED LOCTITE, not blue 242. Blue won't hold it. I just replaced the crankset on my brand new 2021 to a very much lighter Praxis Zayante Carbon. I explain the crank issue in my video. It's fine now but if you're a DIY bike guy, understand the fix. ruclips.net/video/kKPrT1mlfwM/видео.html
Does the future shock make it harder for uphill climbs (compared to no shocks at all)?
no I wouldnt say so especially if you are out of the saddle, the compression on the shock would engage
Can the chainring be upgraded to a 42T?
How about the crankset? Sorry not an expert by no means.
I'm really considering the x 4.0 but switch out to road tires. I
yea the whole crank can be changed and also I believe the chain ring can be changed too, you just have to get the right BCD (bolt circumference diameter) ask the local bike shop what they would recommend replacing it with for chain ring size around your area
@@GCPerformance18 now that I think about it it may just be better to get the X 5.0, considering cost of parts upgrade.
@@james007bray if you got the money, its always better lioke that, you do get a better bang for the buck when you buy the bike instead of buying one and then upgrading later on
Nice review! I've seen pictures of what I believe are 2021 models based on the $1299 price - looks like a Royal Blue and Gloss Smoke
yes the 2021 do retail or $1300 and that's just because of the component upgrade from the 1x10 to the 1x11 shimano deore. A lot of the new 2021 are saying late November to late January if you didn't order or your store hasn't ordered for stock yet..... the colors for 2021 are GLOSS SMOKE / COOL GREY / SATIN BLACK REFLECTIVE and GLOSS SKY BLUE / TARMAC BLACK / SATIN BLACK REFLECTIVE
Sky blue looks killer, at least in pictures. I personally can’t decide between x3 or x4
@@james007bray 100 percent if you can afford it and it doesnt break the bank go for the x4 with the future shock upgrade you will enjoy that bike so much. I know it might seem gimicky but the future shock is such a nice feature and its something you really appreciate it the more you have it.... but its all up to budget. but if you have the money x4 all the way
GC Performance Bike shops are just starting to get bikes here in california but they’re gone so quick, makes it tough to test ride. I kno this is off topic, how would you compare x4 to diverge comp bro 5?
@@james007bray which one is the bro 5? and yea its like that everywhere with bikes but were starting to see more of the normal bikes that we had before, become more readily available now for stock so im hoping to get some normalcy. and what kind of riding style are you going to be doing because more casual i say go with sirrus if your looking to get some long rides in on gravel for miles and speed on strava go diverge other then that the sirrus x can do those rides too but also have a lot of fun around the city and dirt paths
What size would you recommend for a 175cm male?
How does this compare with the cannondale quick cx 1 2021 model ?
Im not to famailar with cannondale bikes but I know alo of these nice bike companies are all really similar in terms of price point for bikes so it would jsut come down to which store you like better maybe which color you like or maybe just overall aesthetics
Great video! Any idea when more will be in stock? Sold out every where.
thanks so much!! and yea we had them on back order and we are finally starting to see more and more bikes come in stock we just got 2 of these in today i got one medium and one large..... the large sold right when we built it and put it on the floor.... but check with your local specialized dealer and give them a call tomorrow to see if they have any on the way. They should have some stock coming in to the store, lemme know if i can help
🙌🙌🙌 That helped so much. Thank you. Liked and subscribed 👍👍
@@HuyNguyen-fc5ku thanks so much!!!! i appreciate that and if you have nay more questions please feel free to ask at anytime!!!! im always here
What is the colour name of this sirrus
At this price point, won't a drop bar gravel bike make more sense? With the drop bar, you have 3 hands position. You can also go faster in a headwind.
yea I agree with that always but sometimes people arnt looking for those fast speeds or a gravel bike at all, this bike I think is more aimed at someone who lives in the city or even suburbs and goes on and off curbs rides sidewalks grass dirt and all other terrains so you can have the options to do some miles and distance but also you dont have to worry about being gentle when riding like a sirrus and worry about damaging the rims or the tires going flat over something small. With also the option of taking this bike on a gravel trail too, it would be like this bike secondary function would be gravel riding where as a drop down bar bike the primary would be gravel......... I hope I explained that well lol
Wow the X5 is even better!
Yes, did you see it?
@@GCPerformance18 yeah test rode the sage green today, its nice color definitely different but I'd want blue. Then I seen the 2021 models on this website:
www.landrys.com/product/specialized-sirrus-x-5.0-383638-1.htm
wow that gloss redwood is poppin! it says they dropped chainring to 40T, that's disappointing.
@@james007bray yea that redwood color lookds sick
@@james007bray I got one of the first 2021's. It's a 42T 3 bolt direct mount ring. I trashed the crankset and bottom bracket and installed a Praxis Zayante Carbon w/40T and M30 BB but can switch to the OEM 42T should I need to. I live in hilly terrain for road and grinding my trails. 40T works better. I also went full XTR, too. The 2021 is a 12 speed now. ruclips.net/video/kKPrT1mlfwM/видео.html
Is it possible to instal wider tyres on it also classic fenders?
Yes it can take up to a 45 I believe and also fenders yes
Would you happen to know what the colors are for 2021 X 5.0?
I think like a yellow hyper green
2021 X 5.0 comes in Blue Tint/Ice Blue/Black Satin or Redwood (Red). I just got one of the first 2021 X 5.0's in California. Had it just under a month. It's an awesome bike but as planned, I've already done several significant upgrades to make it even better. Here's my recent video if you're interested. ruclips.net/video/kKPrT1mlfwM/видео.html
I just purchased one and I’m trying to figure it how can I tell which gear I’m in?
on the nicer and higher end bikes there is no gear indicator, more like when your riding its kind of like a manual car.... you just shift when you feel it is necessary and also you don't have to worry about you running out of gears or hurting it because the derailleur is adjusted so that it wont throw the chain off into the wheel or the bike so if you don't know what gear your in just go up or down and extreme and you can get a feel for them.... but all high end bikes don't have gear indicators on them.... I hope this helps :)
Thank you so much. This is my first bike purchase.
@@mewilson667 yea no worries, you got a really nice bike for your first one.... if your ever unsure what gear your in.... just mash on the gears one way or another and you can feel which gear your in and also know which lever does what... thanks for watching
I just purchased the same bike last week...i’m having fun with it..
I can’t decide between the Sirrus x 4.0 or the Cannondale quick 3
sirrus x4...... I am not biased at all
@@GCPerformance18 I just purchased the sirrus x4 about an hour ago. I just got home with it. I’m going to take it on a ride. I love it so far! Thanks for the advice!!
my weight is arround 130 kg. Can i ride it?
The 2021 non x Sirrus also has the 1.5 future shock
in the sirrus 4 and 5 I belive
Great colour bike. Is the paint job gloss or matt?
gloss
Looks like the prices really went up a lot in 2021. The $1250 price is now $1500 on the website. I wouldn't really know about previous prices because I haven't been in the market for a bike in decades. Wow, Covid, the supply chain issues, and inflation are obviously showing on Specialized prices.
yea it really does suck it is crazy to see these prices change so high like this before our eyes
i ordered a Sram Rival 1 BB30 42T .. i hope i dont need to change the chain for the additional 2 teeth .. i fixed my crank issues a while now . i just want an upgraded crank . i hope i am not wasting time and $$$ .. i will see
I did the same thing for a customer but gxp bottom bracket and it worked great. He loved it
@@GCPerformance18 I am learning.. the GXP is the way to go, I returned the scram rival BB30 crankset.. the samox is 24mm ..so I need to change the BB Anyways. So I will go GXP.. I am researching... Live and learn..
@@beasz1974 very nice, glad I could provide some advice and yea sram has always been more gxp bb
@@GCPerformance18 well i decided on a Shimano RX600 crank... bro even with the fix in place the stock crank is the cheap factor, for me on the X 4.0 .. the cheaper sirrus 2.0 at least came with a shimano crank, be it low end.. at least with the rx600 i will have something quality and be able to swap out chainrings.. what brand is that cursed stock crank anyways? if i didnt have the future shock , i would develop "buyers remorse" that i didnt get a GT Grade AL , what a bargain .. i hope you do a review on it one day
@@beasz1974 on the sirrus 2.0?? I have those at my store right now
the threadlocker they use at the factory is generic and not real loctite, adn the bolts were under torqued .. i swapped out the bolts also for better stainless steel ones and use real loctite "blue"
Yea unfortunate I think the people got lazy making them and just put tiny bit of thread lock and tightened it very low
@@GCPerformance18
yess , mine was at 9nm ..when i attempted to go up i felt the bolt bend .. i had a X 3.0- sold and the stock bolt broke..soo i change out the bolts on this one too

The Sirrus X 4.0 also has a different frame geometry than the Sirrus 4.0-look at its dropped seatstays, among other things. Different wheelbase, trail, standover, stack and more. And a different type of carbon fork. C’mon Mr. Specialized Dealer. 🤓
Where is your store located in Florida?
deerfield beach florida called bicycle generation
@@GCPerformance18 okay Thanks
Hi! I’m 6 foot 2. Would a large of the sirrus x 4.0 work for me? Thanks!
I would go XL, the large could work but you would be more comfortable on the XL the large will be very aggressive and have a good amount of bend over on it
Can I put Road Tires if I want it to go faster or have more a Road/gravel experience?

Hi. I bought this bike about a month ago. But what I found was that when I cycle on cobblestone streets I can hear a rattling noise and my dealer can't explain it. I made two videos about it and put it on youtube with the hope that someone has advise for me as to what causes this annoying rattling noise and how to fix it. See here: ruclips.net/video/tlcslmS10I0/видео.html ruclips.net/video/vxOxmtYEbT8/видео.html thanks!
It sounds like cable rattle.
@@GCPerformance18 Thanks for the quick reply. That is also what I thought. Cable was touching head tube. Dealer moved it away from head tube, but rattling noise is still there (see video on cobble street) but less then before. Now it must be the cable inside the down tube or where it comes out at the bottom of seat and down tube? Is there a remedy for it you could recommend? or is this a common problem? Thanks
