More than any other company, Specialized bicycles have a track record for creating bicycles that defined a whole category.

For instance, the 1981 Specialized Stumpjumper was the world’s original production mountain bike. The first endurance road bikes we had the pleasure to offer were the Specialized Roubaix in 2004 and its sister the Ruby a year later.
The same can be said for the 2000 Specialized Sirrus. This was pretty much the only 700c-wheel flatbar road bike you could buy off the shelf from your local bike shop at the turn of the century. The women’s equivalent – the Vita – followed a few years later.
As with their groundbreaking MTBs and endurance road bikes, Specialized nailed the Sirrus/Vita design from the start. With its road/cross bike-like geometry (73.5˚ seat tube / 71.5˚ head tube angles in medium) the Sirrus was quick steering so it rode more like a road bike than a comfort hybrid.
This made the Sirrus/Vita the perfect bike if you were looking for a fast, engaging ride but didn’t fancy drop bars.
As is the Specialized way, their Sirrus/Vita bikes have been continually refined over the years. Today, you can choose from a superb range, organised in an easy to understand ladder of quality.
The Range
Even the entry-level Sirrus/Vita models inspires confidence with their soundly-equipped Specialized signature A1 quality aluminium frames, which have the eyelets and clearance required if you’d like mudguards and/or rack fitted.
