13437098, Wouldn't call myself a cyclist but... Posted by sectachrome86, Mon Jul-12-21 11:18 AM
I just got a Specialized Sirrus X 5.0. It's a pretty cool bike and Ive been enjoying it. First bike Ive had in about 10 years. Prior to this I had a Cannondale 29er hardtail mtb and I never really enjoyed it much. This time I just wanted a nice do anything general purpose bike. Not interested in super long rides or super crazy trails. The Sirrus X has fit that bill pretty much perfectly with the trails around me. Ive always had mountain bikes so its cool to have something light and quick. On some of the rockier trails its a bit rough but still fast. Need to start playing with tire pressures and go tubeless. Then maybe see if I can fit a wider tire if needed.
The more dedicated gravel bikes like the Diverge look cool but realistically I think would be overkill for what I do and I'd rather have the more upright riding position of the Sirrus X.
