When we saw tech drawings of this frame, we thought Specialized was updating the Roubaix. We were, in fact, wrong. It’s actually a new bike called the Sirrus Carbon.

The Sirrus is a flat-bar city, commuter and fitness bike that won’t be going anywhere near a bike race.

It would be easy to overlook the Sirrus as just a flat-bar bike, but could its frame have implications for road bike design in the future? We tell you everything you need to know about Specialized’s new bike and do some crystal-ball gazing in this video.

What do you think of this frame design? Let us know in the comments 👇
