Hey guys.

Have been looking to replace my Merida Crossway as i keep breaking spokes.

Have been looking at a Specialized Sirrus or a higher model crossway.

Most of my riding is paths with the odd path being primarily stones which is where i think the bike doesn't like it.

Checked out a few Mountain Bikes but they feel sluggish compared to the thinner tires of my merida.

Advice on bikes to check out that can handle a bit of off road along with being quick on paths?

Looked at a Giant disc 2 along as well.
