Yup. Best options that are similar would be the Sirrus X, Trek FX4, possibly the Jamis Sequel. I’m leaning towards the Sirrus X whenever dealers finally start getting stock again.

Similar in what way? Rigid fork with a wider tire? Giant Toughroad SLR? Jamis sequel? The Sirrus X is an awesome bike, but is also kind of a black sheep in that it is fairly unique.
