Specialized Sirrus X 2.0 Quick Overview

- Hi everyone, I’m new into the adult biking world, where I ended up picking up a specialized sirrus x 2.0. I haven’t seen any reviews on the bike so I thought I’d make a quick overview and discuss some thoughts and specs! If you have questions about the bike, please comment them below!!
Nice quick casual review. Appreciate it! And that’s for the height reference.
Great video! I just got the x 3.0. I probably would have gone for the 2.0 or the 4.0 but selection is very limited these days as you know with Covid. Enjoy your sweet ride!
Yesssss!!!! Thank you so much!! Great review 👍🏼
Thanks man, appreciate the overview. Really difficult to find any info about this bike! Think I’m gonna get the X 2.0 after lockdown (UK)
No problem! I found only one person who had the bike prior to me purchasing and they didn't really give that much info besides they bought it because they liked it from what it look like online. Great bike so far!
Thanks! Wish I could afford/justify the 4.0... but I’m also a casual rider. The 3.0 is also about 3lbs lighter. I, like you, would need to ride both to see the difference, but it’s nice to hear that you tried the 3.0 and found the differences to be too minor.
Just bought this in blue in the U.K, nice bike 👌, If I enjoy it and get into biking more I'd probs look at the higher carbon models.
I was just looking up this exact bike here on youtube, perfect timing! :) Planning to buy this in London. If you're planning to do a full review later, that would be nice! Good luck with the bike!
opeth84 I’m glad you stumbled upon this. I want to do a full review at maybe 100+ miles to break it in a bit. Hopefully will have that done in the next 2 weeks :) and thank you!
Bought mine 😉
Sweet bike , might get the 1.0 x & just upgraded over time with hydr brakes , I would put some gator skins 32 c or schawlbe big apple 1.9 in to avoid flat & make bike go faster & less rolling resistance, nice bike
Thanks for reviewing this. Not a lot of info on this bike on the internet.
no problem! and that was my intention. Even though its just quick overview of the specs you can find online, its still nice for someone to describe it all out. I do plan on making a new video next week regarding how I like the bike so far.
Thank you for sharing, read a review on your brakes.
That the highlights on Promax F1 hydraulic disc brakes, offer ample stopping power. What's your opinion ? Considering people's opinions vary.
I'm 180 cm with 83 cm inseam and I have a L Sirrus x 2.0 (black), I think is the right size for me but I can also have a fun ride with the M. If you have a similar size and like to have the saddle higher than the handlebars you can use the M; my saddle and my handlebars are less or more at the same height. I'm not sure but I think that it wuold have the 170 cm crank to be perfect for my size (it has 175 cm crank), but is only a supposition.
In a flat paved road I normally use the 15t sproket (so 40-15), on a flat gravel road I use the 15t or the 18t, the other gears I use for speed (12t) and for uphill (21-24-28-34-42t).
I love my simple but of character bike, especially for my taste in totally black.
Hope this help, cheers from Italy.
Hi, I’m about 176 cm, I had a L GT Mtb and it felt way too big for me, I know the geometry is different but I fear that If i buy one in L it will be too big again...I think the M would be alright for me?
@@surferdude420 I think M is better for you
I love this bike but the brakes suck, I'm thinking of changing them but apparently the flat mount size of the brakes in this bycicle is pretty rare, does anybody know which brakes are compatible with this bike???
Can someone help me in picking the right bike?? I am looking at the san rafael DS 1 for 599. But is there something better than this?
Thank you for the overview and a follow-up update. I was originally thinking of purchasing Specialized Sirrus 1.0 or 2.0 (for the disk brakes). Now I am leaning towards Sirrus X 2.0 because it has disk brakes and it also can be used on multiple surfaces. My question is - it has 42mm tires that look wider than the road bike ones and would that have an impact on riding experience (slowness) considerably? Also having a 1*8 gear system (I don't know if I am explaining this correctly) bad compared to 2*8? Sorry if I am not clear on this as I am a novice to these terms. Thank you.
Hi, sorry for a late response, but yes wider tires does not move as quickly as thinner tires, but in this case it will feel more comfortable and if you ever need to go on gravel youre set. Its not a big difference, but after a longer ride you'll be behind. Having a 1x drivetrain is by no means bad at all compared to 2x, having the 2x will allow you go up hills a lot easier and having a closer gear ratio (you have more options to pick the right gear), while the 1x gives you less gear ratios, it does an easier job of allowing you to figure out the right gear to be in vs constantly having to shift with the 2x. Its all personal preference. I do recommend hydraulic brakes as it has more stopping power with less effort and less maintenance, while the 1.0 I think uses a rim brake.
Which bike did you end up getting?? I can’t decide between the 2.0 and the X 2.0
@@makaronchik2488 so I think you may want to tailor it towards what you plan on using it for, X 2.0 for more trail/off road, while the 2.0 is more for road/hills. You cannot go wrong with either one. I favor the X 2.0 because of the wider tires and 1x (less maintenance)
I purchase the 3.0 I love the bike and I made upgrades to It's a keeper Is great locally I will still need a drop bar bike For deeper adventure Haven't fun
Excellent ;)
I bought the 5.0 one month ago and I love it, zero regrets except for the price ...
Bike is fast and reliable, the higher you go from 2.0 to 5.0, you get more carbon light parts and higher class shifters (5.0 has shimano SLX).
Future shock technology only with 4.0 and 5.0 models.
I love the fact that it can go fast on road and I can also drive on rugged trains and sidewalks and I also like flat bars.
The 5.0 weighs approx 9.7 kg or 21.5 pounds.
congrats on the pickup! Specialized does tend to price a bit on the higher end, but sometimes it is worth it and with the X line they definitely nailed it. Thats very light for the 5.0, those extra 4-5 pounds off from the 2.0 can make a huge difference. I'm sure you can go a bit faster than me, but this bike does a good job on the road.
Imad Shamieh could you please add link for bike you bought?
That might be tough on very steep hills being a bigger guy and the 1x drivetrain. I just got the sirrus 2.0 with the 2x8 shifting. All black like yours. I hope you enjoy the bike!
Its great so far and I hope you enjoy yours as well. It definitely will be a struggle going over steep hills, but as long as you keep pushing you'll get past it :)
@mrgeorge118 If you are able to test ride both, then you'll get a better feel. I personally like 1x drivetrains as its simple and it gets the job done. Also the wider tires means I can go off road more, being a bit more comfy. If you feel like you need the extra speed, then go 2.0 if you dont and want a bit more simplicity and possibly a bit more comfort go with the X. Its honestly a very close comparison, just depends on your wants/needs. You won't regret either one!
Hey Joseph, what are your thoughts on the 2.0? I’m considering the same bike or the 1.0. Debating weather it’s worth to spend the extra money for things like disc brakes. Thanks
@@pjonesg I would defitnely pay the extra for the 2.0 the brakes are worth it. The 2.0 seems to be of the best value overall compared to the 1.0, 3.0, or 4.0. No complaints so far.
Thanks for the review! Do you think the ride on the X 2.0 would feel any different from the 2.0? Would it be more strenuous because of the larger wheel width or do you think it’s negligible?
I dont think it will be too much of a difference maybe depending the type of terrain you'll be riding on. If you are going over more gravel, rougher roads the X will be a bit smoother. But rolling wise (on normal roads) the 2.0 would be better. If I had to pick id go for X since they're the same price (if im not mistaken) and im a big fan of 1x. Hope this answers your question!
@@AliuBikes thank you for your reply! This is very helpful. It sounds like the 1x plus the thicker tires have a lot of advantages. Now the only missing piece is finding a bike (I’m hearing there’s a shortage 😫). Thank you for your help!!
@@hemangidave1485 Of course! And yes there is still a bike shortage, not as bad as last year, but if youre local bike shop carries the brand, you should be able to do a pre-order for the bike. If not I suggest trying other brands that maybe similar such as the Raleigh redux and cannonade quick 4. I hope you get your bike soon!
@@AliuBikes I’m crossing my fingers that they can deliver by mid-spring. Ou thank you for the other options! Any thoughts on Norco VFR or the Trek Fx (as alternate options)?
@@hemangidave1485 Ive never tried the Norco and dont have many retailers with Norco nearby me so im not sure about the,. but the Trek fx is a very popular bike and to get something similar 1x drivetrain it will get a bit pricey (trek fx4) but it is a 1x11 which is very good if you plan on keeping the bike long term. If you dont mind 2x or even 3x drivetrains then they are still pretty decent bikes.
Great video, thank you, just bought this bike after watching. Quick question - you mention the possibility of raising the handlebars. Do you know how the shop would do that? Would they just add an extender or is the process more complicated than that?
there are two ways to increase the height/angle and the first is the headset spacers, you can add or remove spacers as they fit to increase the height, the second thing is the stem, you can get a shorter/longer stem with different angles. If the bike feels more forward, its something you'll kinda have to get used to, as its a fitness bike aka an endurance/road feel with flat handlebars, but has a bit more comfort like a hybrid bike. For the headset spacers and stem, your local shop can definitely help you and offer you some options that may help!
@@AliuBikes thanks so much for the prompt reply! I’ve been looking at the handlebar stem connection and there don’t appear to be any spacers or any room for spacers. I had to drive 3 hours to the closest bike shop that had the bike in stock so can’t easily go back. I’m thinking of adding a stem extender to bring the handlebars up about 2” just never done anything like that before. Doesn’t seem too difficult on videos I’ve watched. Local bike shops are 2+ weeks out for any repairs. Do you know if it’s a 1 1/8” stem and can be easily done? I’d like to know it can easily be done before I start taking it apart.
@@harr6w Unfortunately I dont have the bike anymore, but most stems that I do know are 1-1/8' front fork diameter, stem replacements are very simple. Will take maybe 5-10 minutes and you can follow a RUclips video if you dont know how.
@@AliuBikes Will do. Thanks so much for your responses.
Thanks for the review, much appreciated. I've been looking all over for information about this bike, and it's hard to find. I had originally been looking to get the Sirrus 2.0 but then the X series seemed to be better for off-road. I'm a bit unsure about switching to 1X gearing, especially for hills and such. I've always had bikes with 24 or 27 gear positions. How does it feel not having a front derailleur? Is it easy to get used to?
of course! wanted to get some information out to people. The bike will definitely be more off road/gravel oriented vs. the 2.0 due to the wider tires. Whenever I ride a bike that had more than 1 gear in the front derailleur I never actually swapped them, only the rear. So this felt perfect for me. I also grew up mainly riding bmx bikes, so single speed was always my thing. It's honestly very easy to work with a 1x drivetrain because all you need to do is switch gears based on the elevation you're riding. Hills are no problem for me, even for someone who hasn't really rode bikes and has a weaker knee due to a torn ACL not too long ago. Its a very nice bike and hope you do decide to get one!
@@AliuBikes Thanks for that, I will definitely look into getting one... if only I can find any for sale in the UK. There are none left anywhere! Happy riding.
@@darklymachiever5593 No problem, it actually took my bike shop around 5-6 weeks to get this bike in, when I placed a deposit. See if your local that carries specialized can order one for you, or at least get notified when they do come in stock.
Great review! I’m looking for a new bike and leaning towards the X. Any insight on it the price difference between the 2,3, and 4.0 are worth it? I really like the 4.0 but not sure if its worth 1250. Thanks!
So I was in a similar boat as you are looking for a bike. If you have $1250 to spend on a 4.0 you’re getting a very very good bike. But the thing is are you planning on going on a bunch of gravel roads, need the extra gears, etc. While the 2.0 and 3.0 are pretty close, the only difference are the 1 extra gear, brakes, and fork (steel vs aluminum). From what I was told based on forums and such, the 3.0 is a good bike, but if you don’t care for slightly better brakes and maybe 0.5 pounds lighter then go with the 2.0
I am planning to buy this bike
Great bike. Like it a lot! Nice review!
I’m confused so i preordered this bike same color 2.0 but mine comes with Shimano drivetrain. Is this a 2019 ?
you bought the sirrus 2.0, the one I have is the X model
Hi! I'm looking to buy the same bike as my first serious bike. Can you tell me what it feels like on gravel roads? Is it too bumpy? Also how is it driving uphill? Can you jump on and off curbs with this bike, or you need bike with fork for that.
I have not ridden it on a gravel road yet so I dont have that info. Going uphill is no problem at all. I dont think the intention is to jump on and off curbs with the bike, but I believe if you ride off or wheelie onto a curb it shouldn't be a problem (im no bike expert).
Is it fast
Hey bro ! loved the review. I just bought the Sirrus X 3.0 today and I bought a Large. I'm 6'1 and the Large has good crotch clearance for me. You think it was the proper size ?
Thanks and it all depends on your inseam. For me the XL fit well in some areas but L fit better in others. I went with the large because I had about 2 inch crotch clearance, when road bikes are usually 1 inch. In this case we have a hybrid/gravel bike so extra clearance is fine (as im told). As long as you feel comfortable in the bike, I dont see any issues with the L. It fits well for me and based off that it should hopefully fit well for you!
Nice Bike
I’m awaiting delivery of a 3.0. Can’t wait for it to arrive! I was dubious about the 9x1 set up...do you find you are running out of gears to build up high speed?
Congrats on the new pickup, once it does arrive. I find the 8 gears to be enough, I have only rode on paved trails and its mostly flat with a tiny bit of hills. Ive rarely had to go to the biggest gear, but smaller gears picks up speed just fine. I know this bike isn't meant for speed, but I feel like you could easily get to 25 mph or more on this bike.
Aliu23 cheers bro, thanks for the video, I struggled to find much on the X range
Just ordered this bike from Watford. Does it feel light?
Joe hotmail yes I think it does! It’s about 25-26 pounds. I’m not used to road bikes or anything of that nature, but 25-26 pounds is light to me. Definitely much lighter than a mountain bike or front suspension bike.
Where did you find it? It seems to be out of stock all over the UK.
Darkly Machiever Cyclesuk have had two batches in, try their website or give them a call
I got the 2.0, nothing different from the X 2.0 besides wheel I think and other small things.
COVID got everyone buying bikes, this is also my first real bike in a long time. I just got the 3.0 size Medium. im right in the middle between the sizes and my ego wouldnt let me get a size small LOL I lack the extra space in the crotch when standing but can lean it and be fine. I figure when I wear out the tires ill put road tires on it to recoup some space there. overall the bike feels great, no regrets.
Very nice! My local bike shop has been very busy these last few weeks and im glad they're still open. Buying a bike was a way for me to get leg exercises in since my ACL injury and take advantages of the trails near me. The 3.0 is very nice! I sometimes think if I needed the 3.0 vs 2.0, but so far no regrets as well!
How tall are you and what is your inseam? I am thinking about purchasing this bike and I would like to try one but the bikes shops around me do not have any in stock. I usually ride a large bike and they fit fine except for the crotch clearance. I was told the medium would be better for me. I am 5' 8" with a 32 inch inseam.
Can´t decide between this or the Marin Presidio 1.
You can't go wrong with either. Looks like the Marin cost a bit less, has very similar parts. Although the Marin has some Shimano and tektro parts, which I would prefer over more micro shift and pro max. If you are able to test both and get a feel thats my first suggestion, but price wise you cant go wrong with the Marin.
THX+
is that Satin black or gloss black?
Gloss black
What is weight of a bike?
I don't have a weight to measure, but I would say around 25-26 pounds based on what I've heard and how I think it feels
I have the sirrus 2.0 with the 2x8 shifting in xl and it weighed in at 27.5lbs.
How is the shifting.
Smooth, ive had no issues so far.
This bike is for gravel?
So technically it is labelled as a fitness bike, but because of the wide tires and wide clearance it can definitely be used as a gravel bike.
@@AliuBikes thanks for your help. If you travel to Colombia, You are welcome in my house. Here we can ride and get to know the landscape
@@carloseduardotobon8118 Haha no problem. Thanks for the offer. May we ride together one day!
por la chucha siiempre todo sale en español y cuando abro el video es en ingles y no entiendo nada😒
