What parts would you swap out over time? Pedals, gearing etc?? Yes I plan to swap out and upgrade parts on this as I do like this bike. Thanks!

could you post pictures of it?

Better tires when you wear the originals out.

Lots you can do with it. I have a 2020 Sirrus 4.0 that started life with a Sora drivetrain. It now has a R7000 105 drivetrain, carbon seat post, better pedals, different grips, and other stuff. It’s been thru three different types of tires, and now sports gravel tires.

immediate change- pedals and saddle because those are specific to what I want.
Possible change soon- tires if they suck and are slow, and grips if they are uncomfortable.
Long term change- swap the bike for a drop bar that isn't Specialized brand.

Get some mileage on the bike, get comfortable with the gearing and enjoy. Great suggestions in regards to comfort with changing the saddle, pedals and maybe the grips. Tires would be a nice plus not only for comfort but overall performance (i.e. resistance to cuts, rolling resistance, grip, etc.)

If you ever get an itch to ride off-pavement, this Sirrus can be a decent single track bike too. A cousin of mine won a Sirrus 2.0 a couple years ago. He threw on a generic carbon fork + GK tires and has put over 5K miles from commuting and the occasional single track rides he does especially during the fall/winter months.

Save your money and swap out the entire bike when the time comes. IE, get a new bike. You'll get more bang for your buck.

Just keep it in good mechanical shape and just adjust and replace what is needed till the day comes you know what it's not doing so well for you. And also know why it's not doing it so well.

Pretty much all I would replace is stuff I would be moving to a new bike so your touch points, grips, pedals and saddle beyond that I would save my money towards the bike I want. The Sirrus 2.0 is one step up from the bottom it is certainly a bike but not one I would put a ton of money towards it is a basic aluminum frame a hi-ten fork. Ride it, enjoy it but don't put a lot towards the bike but figure out what you like and don't like and then use that knowledge and money saved towards the new bike.

Also keep in mind this is the Road Cycling subforum there is one dedicated to hybrids and the general forum as well as bicycle mechanics typically road bikes are drop bar with a different geometry.

Can't believe I'm saying this since I have no like for hybrids. However hybrids are ridden on the road. And this is as you said the Road Cycling sub-forum. If it were the Road Bike sub-forum, then maybe you'd have a point.

So probably the type of riding takes precedence over the type of bike.

Fair dinkum but the general atmosphere here is more geared towards roadies.

I like hybrids, my 1x9 parts hybrid I built up is one of my favorite bikes. Sure in many cases the average hybrid from most brands is pretty meh but there are some neat ones out there and if you build it up yourself you can get what you want out of it.

I taught high-performance automobile driving for approximately 20 years, and was asked far too many times by novice drivers “What mods can I do to make my car faster?”. My answer was always the same…”Drive what you currently have until you have a good sense of what your car and, just as importantly, what you can do.”, since there is no better teacher than seat time. Your new bike should be looked at the same way. Go out, get to know it better and have fun.

After that, I suggest changing items that touch the road (i.e. tires & wheels), things that touch you (i. e. saddle, pedals, handlebar grips, etc.) and, finally, all other things (i.e. drivetrain upgrades, brakes, etc.).

You just got it. Ride it. Don't worry so much about upgrades just yet. Make sure your fit is set up properly.

Consider clipless pedals and cycling shoes.
