The five carbon bicycles for the Sirrus, are they all made of the same carbon fiber? Only the components are different?

I see many post about new to riding or haven't ridden in years and more often than not they are looking for the carbon models. Absolutely nothing wrong with that, perhaps a little jealousy on my behalf, but the aluminum models are great bikes as well. Just seems like carbon gets pushed a lot on people when they go to LBS these days.

I call one store in Atlanta area and they stock the carbon Sirrus. In fact, a few models. I am suprised. I guess people buy these often?

After seeing what carbon can do for fly rods and my photography gear, it just made sense.

It is just preception that lighter means faster?
I remember in physic P = M * V ; take the M down so its P/M = V
Now its inverse, meaning, if M goes down, then V goes up
Thats why I am getting a carbon soon.

Seems like all the bikes with high end components are attached to carbon frames. Nobody pushed anything on me, I went in looking for a nice light carbon hybrid with good components and bought the one I liked the best.

Been collecting 105 5800 components for my Sirrus Sport with my fun money the last six months. The flatbar shifters finally available so I can have a switch kit for it where I can swap bars between flat and drop like I've been doing with the Sora setup. I ride flatbar, but will switch to drops for longer rides. Nothing more fun than tearing down a bike and putting it back together.

Hi guys looking for some advice. After much deliberation I have decided to purchase a Specialized Sirrus. Upgrading from a 3 year old Hardrock that was not getting used off road much at all. I'm now torn between going with the Elite disk or Carbon Elite disk. Any one got either bike and would recommend? I know these are two very different machines but I'm trying to justify spending the extra £300+ for the carbon and neither model is stocked in my local bike shop to compare in person

Picked up a brand new 2015 Sirrus Elite today for $700 since it was last years model. I can't wait to take it out for a spin.

Here is mine from last weekends ride. It's a 2015 carbon pro. I swapped handlebars and stem for Easton carbon parts and changed to carbon tubeless wheels
