Favourite hybrid bike
Would be great to get your thoughts on the hybrid bikes from the poll.
Hoping to purchase my first bike for occasional recreational riding. Looking for a all rounder good on pavement / road but also able to handle pot holes and park/gravel paths if needed.
Thank you in advance.

Not on the list is the Trek Verve line, either the 2 Disk or 3 Disk. I have two 2022 Trek Verve 2
Disks, one is a large frame and the second is a small “Low Step” Frame.
What I like about the Verve is the ability to handle a 29x2.5” tire with fenders if one chooses. The stock suspension seat post helps smooth out the larger bumps in the road, and it’s a great all around bike.

I'd be interested to know what the Advent gears are like on the lower-end models of Sirrus X.
I do like the look of the Sirrus X, but hear that Specialized sometimes 'cheap-out' on the componetry.

"Favorite" among these 6, you mean. You might have gotten better advice with a "Which of these 6" question. I like and ride my Sirrus most, though my Trek, which I rode today, is definitely more versatile. Enjoy your eventual choice.

Steel is Real
I’ve started researching but I haven’t found a hybrid I really like, yet. I’m of the “Steel is Real” mindset. Don’t want some frail aluminum bike that will make like a taco when I ride over a curb, or something.
my bike I’ve had know is 14 years old and was under $500 brand new and has lasted an eternity. It’s a tank. I like tanks, I guess.
also my hybrid has to be “lockupable” as I use my bicycle to ride to appointments and to do errands.
help!

Steel is Real
That’s a cool bike. Love your saddle, too. Can your bike handle going over curbs, potholes, a dirt path occasionally? I’m probably overthinking lol.
The other thing I’m worried about is lockupability.

Brooks Saddles are a must for me on anything I plan on spending time on or going distances.
I live in PA. We're famous for potholes. I recently moved from rural to more urban; our city streets test my dentists fillings every ride. I like the "forgiveness" of the aluminum, more than I thought I would. I have friends who've ridden Cannondale mountain bikes for years and they have had no issues with the frame. What I do have an issue with on this particular model is it's got a carbon fork... Really Trek? I can see carbon on racing applications but a hybrid? Not sure I understand. I may, at some point, replace it. It's why there's no front rack.
Finally, where I live I MUST be able to lock up. In some areas I have to take off removable parts( Lights, computer, etc.) I NEVER leave my phone on the bike even for a short time. I tend to do my errand riding in the morning, most of the "stabbing hobos" are still asleep...

I'm getting real savy at finding bike "racks". Sometimes a gas line works well in a pinch...
