: 6061 Triple butted alloy frame for that extra strength.
Internal cable tubes which have a hydro formed top and down tubes.
Seat stays have taper gauge “S” bend to cut across winds and give you the speed of dashing through the city roads. Taper Gauge S bend means that the stay tubes are angled to give aerodynamics to the frame.

: The Jamis Allegro A2 features a full Shimano drivetrain. The Tourney 2-Speed derailleur at the front and an Acera 8-Speed rear derailleur are entry to mid-level but are super smooth in shifting and is ideal for commuting and fitness rides on urban roads. The 2x8-Speed Shimano SL-M315 trigger shifters were sleek in design and had an easy spring action.

"
The 16-Speed Shimano Tourney/Acera drivetrain was perfectly suited for urban riding
: The Jamis Allegro A2 which we test rode came in a Black colour frame with Grey as the secondary colour for graphics. The gloss finish paint job quality was top notch and made the frame look shiny. The graphics and design were simple yet elegant. The thin seat stays and chain stays made the Bicycle look sleek.

The Allegro A2 comes in 2 colour variants; Gloss Black and Garnet
: The braking components are Hydraulic Disc brakes on the Allegro A2. The Tektro Hydraulic Disc brakes at the front and rear were reliable and balanced during the test ride. The reaction time from the levers to the brakes was quick. These brakes were more than sufficient for wet and dry urban roads and the quality and performance of these brakes were definitely the best in this category of Hybrid Bicycles.The Jamis Alloy flat handlebar was wide and made sure the rider has an open chested riding posture.

The Tektro Hydraulic Disc brakes were powerful to get you to a safe halt on urban roads
: Saddle Post- Alloy and with a quick release to adjust to rider’s height
Saddle: the cycle has a touring seat
