specialized sirrus x 2020 mainSpecialized launch all new Sirrus X 'grammuter' bike for 2020, with wider tyres, new geometry and 1x gearing
Specialized have launched an all new version of their popular Sirrus hybrid/commuter bike, the Sirrus X. This one is more than just a city dweller, with wider tyres, 1x gearing and disc brakes on all models.
6 of the best 2019 new-generation hybrids
Your complete guide to Specialized's 2019 road bike range
Like the standard Sirrus, the Sirrus X is unisex: "specifically designed as a shared design for Fitness riders", say Specialized. Rather than just taking the Sirrus, sticking some slightly bigger tyres on and changed the name, the Sirrus X also has a slightly different geometry, with a reach that is 10mm shorter and 15mm of extra stack.
Sirrus X 2.0 and 3.0 have 42mm tyres, while the higher end 4.0 and 5.0 drop down to 38mm because the addition of Future Shock suspension negates the need for very wide tyres to add comfort; the top-end Sirrus 5.0 is the only model that is set up for tubeless tyres.
All Sirrus X bikes have a single chainring for simplicity, and include eyelets at the dropouts and fork for mudguard mounting. Mounts for racks differ depending on the model.
There are also new standard Sirrus models for 2020, starting with the Sirrus 1.0 with an alloy frame and rim brakes, and going all the way up to the £1,999 Sirrus 6.0 with a carbon frame and fork, Future Shock and Shimano 105 shifting - all have either triple or 2x chainring set-ups as opposed to 1x on the Sirrus X models.
Models and prices of all Sirrus and Sirrus X bikes coming into the UK are as follows:
Sirrus X 5.0: £1,599
Sirrus X 4.0: £999
Sirrus X 3.0: £699
Sirrus X 2.0: £549
Sirrus X 2.0 Step-through: £549
Sirrus 6.0: £1,999
Sirrus 4.0: £1,299
Sirrus 3.0: £799
Sirrus 2.0: £549
Sirrus 2.0 Step-through: £549
Sirrus 1.0: £449
More details and all your buying options are now on the Specialized website. Does the dawn of the Sirrus X mean gravel and commuter bikes are now crossing over? We even reckon we've coined a new term to accurately describe it (see headline). Let us know what you think in the comments of course...
Arriving at road.cc in 2017 via 220 Triathlon Magazine, Jack dipped his toe in most jobs on the site and over at eBikeTips before being named the new editor of road.cc in 2020, much to his surprise. His cycling life began during his students days, when he cobbled together a few hundred quid off the back of a hard winter selling hats (long story) and bought his first road bike - a Trek 1.1 that was quickly relegated to winter steed, before it was sadly pinched a few years later. Creatively replacing it with a Trek 1.2, Jack mostly rides this bike around local cycle paths nowadays, but when he wants to get the racer out and be competitive his preferred events are time trials, sportives, triathlons and pogo sticking - the latter being another long story.

A "city bike" without mudguards? Really? No wonder only 2% of commutes in Britain are by bicycle. Absolutely absurd.
Love my Specialized Diverge.. technically a gravel bike. Only obvious difference between that and this are the handlebars..
Ah yes, this is what we used to call a "trail bike"
The bike theives new favorite bicycle.
They should do a full on commuter version of this. Mudguards, chainguard, dynamo lights, maybe even hub gears and so on.
Do people really ride this for anything other than commuting?
