This was my backup bike for gravel so I trained a bit on it, and it is damn near as capable as my $5000 Crux. Such a value and can do road and gravel.

I had been looking for something between a road bike and off-road bike that I could use on a casual basis with my kids. But I also wanted something that was still high-performance and superior quality. And this is the perfect bike for just that.

I like to ride throughout the city. A little gravel here, a little asphalt there, some canal trails, etc. And I cannot imagine needing anything beyond what this bike offers. It's the best bike I've ever owned. It accelerates almost effortlessly, rides quiet & quick. I love it. Also THE COMFORT. Wow. I thought that tiny seat was gonna be painful, but it is actually more comfortable than the big plush cartoon seats you see some people with. I love this bike. I love the smooth shifting, the one-handed shifting, the smooth pedal action. Cannot gush about this thing enough.

As an entry level rider, I just went to a dealer and asked for a hybrid.. boy was I surprised and pleased with my purchase. I've put about 300 miles in on my Sirrus X 3.0 and find myself just as excited to ride as day 1. No issues with the left crank as stated in other reviews. Excellent bike, on and off road.

I now own a Sirius 3.0 X and could not be happier. I have owned other bikes but this one is by far the best. It is a pleasure to ride fast or take it for a casual ride. I also came across a Specialized Hardrock on the 'side of the road' sale. I got it tuned up and is my, just for fun, second, bike. What a combo! My wife owns a Specialized 2.0 X 2020 and is ecstatic about the ride she gets. Definitely, happy about joining the Specialized family.

This bike is perfect for riding on gravel trails through the woods and on rail-to-trails paths. This is my second review, first one was after left pedal crank fell off in March. Since repair/proper installation I have 600 enjoyable miles on the bike without a problem with only basic maintenance at home (clean chain, etc.). Best all around bike I have ever had...light, easy to ride, shift and decent speed. Won't keep up with a drop bar gravel but outpaces other flat bar hybrids.

I give the Sirrus x 3.0 5 stars. I really enjoy the bike. However, when I bought the bike in September 2020 from a bike shop in Atlanta, GA I have no way of knowing what model year it is. I thought it was a 2020 model but the bike shop told me it is a 2021 model. I sent an email to Specialized but have yet to receive a response. I even called Specialized and recorded a voice mail but still waiting for a response. If I would change one thing I would probably replace tires with a 700x38mm size of the same Pathfinder Sport Tires instead of the 700x42mm size.

Great for paved trails and can handle a little off-road as well. Bike feels very solid and I have not had any of the crank issues. I think this has been fixed.

First bike in over 40 years. Hit the Katy Trail over the weekend and the bikes performance was flawless. Handles superbly on gravel, and is comfortable to ride.

I'm back with a second review. After my left crank fell off after only 40 miles, I took it to the LBS and they got into contact with Specialized and were informed about the defect. They reassembled the crankset appropriately and since then, about 200 miles, it's been a beast. This ridea soo smooth one roads and handles gravel trails like a dream. Yes, I will recommend this bike to a friend ONLY after they have made sure it was assembled right. Great bike.
