HI I am thinking of buying a sirrus carbon comp anybody own or have any experience with these bikes thanks
I have this very bike, bought it a few weeks ago. I got it on the C2W scheme and had different tyres and mudguards fitted by the dealer. I paid the difference over the £1k. It is specifically for canal paths/ light trails etc and it sees to cope very well with these. The tyres do slow it on the road slightly, it is still pretty quick.HI I am thinking of buying a sirrus carbon comp anybody own or have any experience with these bikes thanks

I have only been out a couple of times, I have a road bike, and intend to use this as a main bike through the winter.
Very pleased with it so far.
The tyres are Specialized Borough CX32 pro, fitted by the dealer. They are not as quick or nimble as road tyres but do seem to give good grip on muddy paths. I specifically wanted this bike for light trails and that's what tyres they gave me. I also got the Spec plug and play mudguards and I chnaged the saddle as the standard one was not good for me. My road bike is a Giant Defy 1 composite compact. Not weighed although it is light, about the same weight as my Giant.
Comparing the two there is quite a difference, the road bike feels lighter and is quicker although I put that down to the tyres. I wish I had gone the £200 more for the 105, this has Tiagra which are nowhere near as good as the Ultegra on my Giant. The Sirrus is very smooth and comfortable still quick and suits what I wanted it for.
Looks a nice bike, the Cube SL range looks better value for money though.
