Musically speaking, Allegro means quick and lively. Which exactly describes Jamis Allegros. These fitness hybrids are lively, quick and seriously fun to ride.
Chosen previously by Bicycling Magazine as the best hybrid at this price point, the Allegro A2 has been upgraded with more powerful hydraulic disc brakes and a 2x drivetrain.
Shimano's new (to hybrids) compact 2x drivetrain simplifies shifting to two gears up front instead of three, while keeping the wide gear range.
If you are going to ride more than occasionally, whether for fitness or commuting, this is the quality level of componentry you should start with.
The Femme (blue color) Allegro A2s feature frames with an inch lower standover height and a shorter reach to the handlebars that fits some riders better.
