Thank you!
Production costs have increased (component scarcity; supply issues); demand for complete bicycles currently greatly exceeds supply; therefore Specialized can charge whatever it thinks the market will bear.
A Specialized Sirrus 6.0 is a luxury/discretionary spending item, and is priced accordingly. Think it's too expensive, then pass on it.
