Toronto H20 (2022) - Review

The Toronto H2 is built on a full Alloy frame. This frame is well designed, sturdy and lightweight. The frame geometry on the Toronto H2 is the perfect combination of comfort and aggressiveness for a Hybrid. You will find yourself forward bent to an extent, which ensures that you are in an ideal position for balanced riding. The frame has a combination of circular and tapered tube profiles across the frame sections, this results in optimizing strength at the key joints, while minimizing weight where larger tubing is not required. The Alloy Rigid Fork was bladed and strong enough to handle bad roads.

The 21-Speed drivetrain on the Toronto H2 is a combination of a 3-speed Shimano Tourney as the front derailleur, and a 7-speed Shimano Tourney as the rear derailleur. Shifting was good across gears, with hardly any lags felt during the test ride. This gear combination is ideal in performance for commutes and long distance fitness rides. The drivetrain is controlled by Shimano EF5 21-Speed shifters, which were positioned well and easy to use.

The Toronto H2 is a good-looking Hybrid Cycle. The frame design and eye catchy tube profiles, along with smooth welds, translates to the Toronto being an aesthetic Hybrid. The Bicycle which we test rode came in a full Orange primary colour with Black as the secondary colour for graphics and text. The gloss finish paint job was top notch in quality.

The Toronto H2 comes with Logan Mechanical Disc brakes. These brakes were solid in stopping power and felt balanced to use even when jamming them. The levers were also lengthy and had an easy spring action which made it possible to operate using just 2 or 3 fingers.The 64mm handlebar with a 4mm raise was perfect in length for a comfortable riding posture.

The Toronto H2 rolls on a pair of 7x35c Kenda tires that are fixed on to Double Walled Alloy rims. The treading and size of the tires were ideal for city commuting and long rides. The rolling resistance was fast and the tread pattern provided enough traction on wet roads as well.The stock saddle has an ergonomic shape and build to it but could have had more cushioning for better comfort.
