the light flywheel does not reduce the torque of an engine. it only changes the driving characteristics of the engine. it allows freer revving, by reduces the rotational inertia of the engine. this means the engine is less likely to maintain a given speed. so as you predict, going up a hill the engine may drop revs quicker due to less inertia stored in the spinning flywheel.

but that's only a small downside. imagine accelerating from a standing start. if the engine has less load to spin up to speed, it will reach that speed faster. hence the result is a faster acceleration, which some might say gives the illusion of having more power/torque!!!
