Here's a pretty good article on what is what.
Axle standards explained- Mtbr.com
There's a good chance you have mountainbike standard stuff eg 100mm front 135mm rear spacing and QR standard axles.
Measure anyway to know what you have , so you know what to look for.
Are you looking for more durability or lighter than stock?
This should get you started anyway.

Hi, thanks so much for the info. They're indeed 100mm front 135mm QR standard axles. I'm still not sure whether I need to look for something that is up to that standard, under or exactly 135 mm. For example, the
Fulcrum have choices of front 12/15mm rear 12x142mm (which is over?) or 9mm QR (is it under?). Pretty confusing.
I also spoke to another LBS on the phone and the guy said the Fulcrum's might fit by adding spaces or something like that. But now I'm wondering if I should put a set of road wheels on a Hybrid like the Sirrus.

I guess the relevant question here is, why are you replacing the wheels? Lighter? Wider? Shinier?
I'm not too worried about the weight of the wheel as I weigh about 90Kg. I am mostly interested in performance, comfort and a general feeling of improvement over the Axis 2.0. Thanks
I think I might have found a decent, compatible set -
Ksyrium Elite All-Road. A bit pricey, but I hope they're worth it.
I'm also going to send a message to DT Swiss to see if they have any recommendation for this specific bike.
should choosing a set of wheel be this complex or is it just me?
