Jamis Allegro A2 (2022) - Review

The tough and lightweight 661 Alloy frame on the Allegro A2 is built to be lightweight. The tubes are butted which means that excess material is removed from low stress areas of the frame, reducing weight without affecting durability or ride quality.The Hi-Tensile fork on this Bicycle gives you confident steering control. This composite fork on the Allegro A2 is strong and can handle hard bumps on urban roads.

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 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 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 7c wheels on the Allegro A2 offer a Road Bicycle rolling speed and efficiency. This Hybrid Bicycle features double wall aluminium alloy rims so they are strong enough to take a pounding on the road day-after-day. The Kenda Kwick tires are wider than you get on a drop bar Road Bicycle so they offer a little more cushioning for a smoother ride on uneven road surfaces. These Kenda tires feature a tread pattern that offers much better traction in the wet than simple slick tires alongside puncture protection to significantly reduce the chances of a flat.The Jamis stock Touring Comfort Saddle was ergonomically designed and had a lot of cushioning to keep the rider sore free.
