Review Of The Specialized Sirrus Hybrid Bike
The entry-level Specialized Sirrus is the first in the sirrus range that we have chosen to take a look at. The entry-level specifications of the Sirrus applies to the grade of front fork, gear train and handlebar. However, don’t be put off by the word ‘basic’ – the Sirrus in this conformation carries all the fundamental quality of concept and design that is inherent in the Sirrus range.
The beautiful aluminium frame really defined the Specialized Sirrus look – the smooth-welded, curved and tapered tubing is stunning. There are fittings to take a mudguard and panniers if you want. There are people who hold the opinion that an aluminium frame is harsh. I don’t think that’s true – but in any case the 28 mm tyres smooth out excessive road vibration anyway.
The front fork is steel, with straight legs and is practically bomb-proof. It also has eyelets for mudguard and Pannier Rack.
The Shimano V-brakes, brake levers, shifters and gear mechs are all good quality and will make you stop and go smoothly. You get 21 gears from the triple chainset – the lowest is fine for most hills. The EZ-Fire shifter system is very intuitive – click up and down with the two small levers, very easy to use.
The triple-density Gel Grips fitted to the flat alloy bars will eliminate any road vibration. The Body Geometry saddle is going to be very comfortable.
Specialized’s own All-Condition Sport tyres are standard. These have plenty of grip for tracks and trails, but low rolling resistance on the road. They are puncture-resistant too, with Flak-Jacket protection.
The Sirrus is fitted with plain flat pedals, which together with the chainguard acknowledge that most people’s cycling is done in everyday clothes, not head-to-toe lycra and cleated shoes.
So the basic Specialized Sirrus offers a huge amount for the money – lightweight with quality components, a no-nonsense but extremely stylish bike that is guaranteed to turn heads either on the journey to work or out-and-about at the weekend. At around £350 it’s really hard to fault.
