Orange clockwork s upgrades

Hi all,
First time poster.... I have a 2013 orange clockwork s and enjoy riding it a few times a week. I don't much about upgrades but wondered about ideas on how to improve the ride. I have put clipless pedals on for a start but wondered what you would go for next?
Cheers
Dan

And welcome.
There is no secret ingredient - Kung Fu Panda

Parktools
Bars
Stem
Grips
Saddle as well
So you get a personal and comfy setup
Are you looking to save weight or buy better performing parts?
Generally with wheels, Forks, Brakes ect you'd be better off waiting till something brakes then replacing it
I also tend to change bars, stem, grips & saddle for comfort / preference - also the opportunity to shed a little weight potentially.
Getting the right tyres is key though.

My old 1996 Orange C16r had a lot of changes made to it. It came with the following which I upgraded :-
Narrow flat bar with bar ends - Terrible steering and stability , upgraded to a wider riser bar
Small pedals with straps - Just Dangerous !!! , Swapped out for BMX flats
Bontrager Tyres - Lack of grip and needed two grown men to wrench then off !!
Bontrager Wheels - Not over strong but OK , Upgraded to Mavic downhill wheels for extra strength
Overall this made the bike ride a lot better due to having more grip, being more stable and much better control. After that all did was replace bit when they wore out until I got a new MTB this year.
40mm stem
740mm flat bars
Shimano saint flat pedals
130mm Revelations
Giant Contact Dropper
On-One Smorgasborg 2.35's
Each component change improved the bike for me, the way I ride and the places I ride :-)
Just need to ebay the OE now...anyone for a set of forks, pedals, tyres, bar, seatpost or stem with less than 30 miles on them............
