Introducing Sirrus. A beauty that's all business. More than just a great frame and a pretty set of tubes. It's built with a passion for nothing short of excellence: Investment cast lugs and fork crown for precision fit and alignment. Double butted frameset combining remarkable strength with light weight. With race proven geometry that takes last descents with confidence. The Sirrus tracks through corners and responds like it were a part of you. Shimano's 105 Shift Index System (SIS) gets into gear without a slip. And the energy efficient Biopace chainrings give you an advantage that's almost like cheating. The business end of winning.
The fact is, there are precious few things to criticize on this bike. The Sirrus is one of the nicest-handling road bikes I've ridden, regardless of price.
