Today I will make another review for the trending hybrid bike version of the Tommaso brand. Though the manufacturer is younger to be compared with other traditional brands, it is a great option for direct bicycles or even other gears such as shoes, and helmets. You might think it a new one in the long list of Masi, Canyon, Cannondale, or Salsa, think again, since the years of 1980s, the Tommaso has been upgrading their gear and vehicle to catch up with the need of the market.
The La Forma Hybrid bike is a popular choice on the market with its features and comfort guaranteed for the cyclists.
To see in depth how this bike becomes one of the top hybrid bikes you need to consider buying, let’s get it started!
Why Do Bikers Like To Buy The Tommaso La Forma Lightweight?
In general, first thing first, the price, to be compared with other hybrid versions, this bike is in the mid-range price at $800. Why is it a mid-range price? It’s a good bike if I don’t say it’s a great one under $1,000 bike for the commuting reason. The bike is designed and assembled with the HCT fork so that it decreases the bumpy if you are entering bad terrains or different weather conditions. The ride is also smoother with fork capacity.
The shifting system and brake are also great deals with the Tommaso La Forma. They are just easy to fix if there is any problem in maintaining or sticking.
One more thing that I always mention in every review, the graphic design of the bike, and this bike gets my attention by the luxurious look painting but still really modern and young to go with. Instead of the colorful or neon color of other brands, the Tommaso La Forma has only black and white. But it doesn’t reduce the look and the safety when riding the bike in the dark. And this would be another point for this vehicle, especially for anyone riding for work.
Pros:
- Light in weight, modern design with black and white color
- Lifetime guaranteed options for frame and fork
- Compact sizes
- Good for commuting options or different terrains
- Gears can be changed to fit in the usages
Cons:
- Pretty hard to assemble
Detailed Components
Frame
The frame construction decides the weight and the comfort of the bikers when riding on a long or short journey. And I’m sure this feature should be one of the biggest concerns of any cyclist from amateur to professional.
As I mention, the HCT Carbon fork would never make you disappointed with the reduction of vibration and bumpy on any road. The aluminum frame of course will make sure the bike gets the lightweight which is around 25 lbs only.
The commuting options that require comfort along the ride would also be a good advantage of the Tommaso La Forma.
Brakes – Gear and Shifter
Yet the brake power of a road bike might be a little less than the mountain one, the Tektro RX1 brakes help bikers confident driving in any type of terrain. From the harder road like a mountain bike to the easy-going one like the commuting road, you can handle it all even in the rainy wet weather.
The bike includes 27 speeds shifters so that you don’t have to worry about the acceleration ability during the experience thanks to the Shimano Acera Drivetrain and the Shimano Acera Groupset.
Again, I have to give a big compliment for the diversification in road adaptations within any type of terrain this Tommaso included. The Shimano Acera Rapid Fire Shifters have made a huge effect on reliability and acceleration.
Rim and Tires
It is important to get a set of good and suitable rims and tires for any type of bike, especially a commuting bike. The reliability and strength will be the huge factors before you decide to buy a bike. With 28 spoke Migda Alloy Rims and wide tires of 32 mm, you have the reason to easily make the trips through wet or muddy roads. The bigger tires, the better traction, and to the road.
Otherwise, if you love traveling and riding on the trails or mountains is your favorite outdoor sport, the Tommaso La Forma will get you back with the excellent ability to stay on the road.
However, this Tommaso La Forma is not a mountain bike for sure! So, the traction of the rim and tires would not be so superb. It is provided in a good average range.
Accessories
If you are complaining about the unavailability of the mount for the water bottle on this bike, be sure you check it carefully. They do include the pre-drilled holes on the frame for your attachment. I like it better since people are different! Some like to add on a bottle of water, some don’t! The racks, fenders, or even lights are also your choices. You are free to customize your accessories on the Tommaso La Forma.
You can also purchase your synchronized bike with the lights, baskets from the same brand. Convenient and consistent, right?
Other Components
Next things, the saddles. The extra-easy-ride saddle will make sure you are on the great speed without any problem in pushing ahead. The comfortable saddle will also help to make your riding geometry easy to adjust and delight during any trips though it’s long or short.
The extra-comfortable gears will make the climbing session never easier even if you are going up hills or downhills. Yet I mentioned, the bike is an affordable price one with wholesome pros and great features. The forks are also lifetime warranty by the brand, so I would recommend bringing it to the manufacturer and get the problem done as easy as it could.
Performance
After a ton of pros and advantages I have listed above, there is no wonder about the ability of the bike on different terrains especially for the beginners. Any of the conditions would be across by this little commuting hybrid bike. Moreover, the 5 sizes from Extra Small, Small, Medium, Large, Extra Large will surely fit most of the fans!
The width of the handlebars this coordinately fit with the crank arm, the extra comfort. The handlebars are easy to control. The Tommaso Gel Grip is another plus of the accuracy in riding this bike.
And if you are getting this bike to make a gift for your 18 years old boy, or yourself, this would be a great choice of reliability and the committed guarantee in the long term.
Conclusion
As I mentioned in some first sentences of the review, this Tommaso La Forma is a great option for any commuting biker in recent years. I have brought and popped through most of the special features that the bike included. So, I hope this review will make a great example before you decide to purchase one.
Again, buying things online has never been an easy option for any of us. But isn’t it great that you are reading a nurture expert review instead of a sale who always tries to sell you things?
