So biggest issue is the brakes get contaminated (is what the bike shop is telling us) and squeal so badly that everybody is staring in horror every time you stop at an intersection. It is so embarrassing! My husband took his back to the shop, got them fixed and 5-6 months of riding later, they're starting to squeal again. Mine started squealing after about 3 months of riding, I put up with it not realizing the shop would fix them for free. Also, the bikes have a plastic chain guard which breaks very easily, my husbands after about 6 months of riding, me about 7 months... Once this happens, if you go over a bump, your chain falls off. To me, a $900 bike should not have a plastic part that breaks this easily. I like that the tires are wider than the crosstrail so I can handle gravel etc. better and I like that I don't have to worry about crossing the chain since there's no front derailleur. I sorely miss my crosstrail, wish I never bought this but my crosstrail was 14 years old...

After 14 years with Specialized crosstrails, spouse and I decided to try these. Pros:compared to our older crosstrails, these ones are lighter but have larger tires so we can take gravelly turns easier, also like not having to worry about crossing the chain.Cons: Almost immediately, my husbands brakes squealed very loudly (even though he "broke them in" as directed). The bike shop replaced them and now they squeak a little but are better. Mine only started squeaking about 8 months in (or the 2nd season of Spring) so it was too late to take them back. It's actually embarrassing, pulling up behind cars, even worse pedestrians with no shield to my torturously loud squealing brakes. I've had people tell me to grease them. So disappointed. That's the main complaint. The other is that the chain guard piece fell off both our bikes, one after 9 months, other after 1 year. Not happy, wish I could go back to my old bike but alas, all my gear has been moved to the new bike :(

Great bike for commuting or getting around the city. Bought it second hand with low km and been riding it around Montreal for the last year. Flipped the stem for a little more aggressive riding position but otherwise kept it stock. 42mm Pathfinder tires are perfect for the potholes and light gravel around the city. No issues with the MicroShift drivetrain but the Promax brakes aren't the best. Even after replacing the pads, cleaning the calipers, disks, rotors, pistons and resurfacing the rotors I still get a lot of squealing and brake fade on longer descents. I fit a Schwalbe Marathon (40mm) up front and Michellin Stargrip (40mm) out back with an SKS beavertail fender set for the winters and had no real issues. Not a lot of space for fenders and couldn't find the plug n play ones in my size so had the zip-tie the beavertails to make them fit. Other than the tight fender spacing and brakes the bike is a steal of a deal for a city bike under $1000.

Slipping gears day 1, brakes were squeaky and loud as day 1, had to replace the pads myself, it was embarrassing riding it, bottom bracket broke within 2 months, worst bike I've ever owned

Very smart bike, quick delivery. Easy to put together! Lovely to ride. Extremely happy!

just clocked over 200ks, perfect city bike commuting to work and around town, easy to ride comfortable position and blend between speed and absorbing bumps potholes etc

Fast and easy for ride around city.

I live in a very busy city and we have many mobility issues because our roads are designed 50 years ago, now the city council is running many roads projects and the average time in a car per day is between 2 and 4 hours, I found Sirrus bike like a suitable solution because their weight, commuter options like 9 gears, good tires, and effective hydraulic brakes. Don’t expect have good performance with this bike in the mountains or forest, it was designed for cities and between 10 or 20 km per route

Haven't owned a Specialized bike for 15 years but this bike was outstanding. It was delivered to store and assembled. The quality is superb even for the entry level bike, and the technicians helped set it up for me quickly and easily. Can't fault this buying experience.

This is the first bike I've bought or cycled in many years. I'm 100% happy with it. It's perfect for commuting to work and back. Great for getting around the city.

Great bicycle for a commute and training
