Congrats on the bike. I'm also on the verge of trading out of my Crosstrail. It's a 2015 Sport Disk. I've enjoyed riding it for the past year and a half. I'm trying to find a rigid forked bike. I have a specialized Sirrus Elite also that I ride but I haven't really enjoyed riding it as much as I thought. I ride with the suspension locked out on the Crosstrail most of the time and don't really utilize it. I'm not sure exactly what I don't care for on the Sirrus. Coming from a mtb discipline I think it is the thinner tires most hybrids seem to have. I've been eyeing the Toughroad for a few months now and I'm thinking about getting one ordered in the next few days. The wider tires and carbon fork are definitely appealing to me. The Acera drivetrain on the 2017 isn't really exciting, but I have a Deore shifter and rear derailleur laying around that I can throw on it. Lots of good reviews on the SLR2.

Once again, congrats on the new Sirrus.
