Eclipse X20
The Pirate Ninja
It’s more than fast and light enough to launch a brigand’s attack on an unsuspecting roadie, yet stealthy enough to slip – folded and shrouded – into the subway unnoticed. The Eclipse X20 is as lithe and sleek as a ninja. But with its super-wide 25-107” gear range and lightning-fast Kinetix Pro wheels it’s got pirate-worthy swagger that demands attention. Slice to the heart of the city – whether you prefer a katana, a cutlass, or both. A winning combination if there ever was one. Debate settled.

"Ordet foldecykel er simpelthen ikke et fint nok superlativ for Eclipse X20. Der meget mere tale om en velkonstrueret og bygget sporty kompakt dagligdagscykel som i tilgift kan sammenfoldes. Den kører og opfører sig som en almindelig sportscykel, og giver i tilgift den funfactor med i købet alt for mange dagligdagscykler mangler. Cyklen er svær at sætte i bås hvad der sikkert vil gøre den endnu mere atraktiv for mange. Den ultimative urbane foldekøremaskine for legesyge piger og drenge."
"Possibly the world’s fastest folding bike that you can fold in 10 seconds, Tern Eclipse X20 is fast and light enough to outdo its rival on road."
"Lovingly called the Pirate-Ninja because they couldn’t decide which of the two was more badass, the Tern Eclipse X20 is quite possibly the world’s fastest folding bicycle. It’s a super light and super sleek 24″ bike that is built for speed."

"The Eclipse P7i is easily a very good contender for a practical bike. We at Headset Press really like the look of Tern’s, coming in good colours and generally well styled (not common for folding bikes!). They pay a lot of attention to the aesthetic of their bikes and it really shows. So if you’re in the market for a folder or solid commuter bike look no further than Tern."
"Overall, the Tern Eclipse P9 folding bicycle rides like a dream on the street, with the 24” wheels rolling over the bumps and crevices with ease. With its range of gears you’ll be able to ride up bridges and hills during your commute, or carry some groceries home from the store. At the end of your ride, fold up the bike and stow it away. The Tern Eclipse is a great blend of comfort and portability."
"And when it comes to handling, the Eclipse S11i is on a class of its own. The bike’s Andros steering system is solid and responsive. I tried the bike on three different kinds of riding: short and middle distance commutes, long-distance day tour – and I am happy to report that all had turned out really smooth."
"Das Tern ist die eierlegende Wollmilchsau, die sich wirklich fährt wie ein großes Rad. Größere Laufräder und ein etwas größeres Faltmaß bringen beim Tern ein vielfaches an Fahrfreude an einem rundum gelungenen Rad. RADtouren Kauftipp!"
"Was die Eclipse-Serie von Tern auszeichnet, ist unseres Erachtens vor allem das Fahrverhalten: Die um zehn Zentimeter größeren Durchmesser im Vergleich zu den üblichen 20 Zoll-Rädern stabilisieren durch ihre höheren Kreiselkräfte die Fahrt, sie loten mit ihrem größeren Radius nicht jede Plattenfuge aus, und sie verkürzen Dank des höheren Rahmens den Überstand von Sattelstütze und Lenksäule. Diese werden dadurch wesentlich steifer. Zudem hat Tern gegenüber früheren Dahon-Modellen die Rahmen komplett überarbeitet und mit deutlich größeren Faltscharnieren versehen. Wiegetritt, einhändiges oder gar freihändiges Fahren – unterm Strich fährt sich das Eclipse P9 fast so, als sei es kein Faltrad."
"The Tern’s larger wheels and stout frame take it in stride, and feel quite comfortable at speed, too. The double-braced, fully adjustable stem, in particular, gave this bike the most assured front-end stiffness of the bunch — plus it’s a great feature for fitting riders of varying sizes."
"The Tern Eclipse S11i is one of the most well conceived folding bicycles from Tern. It has more features than any other Tern bike: dynamo lights, hydraulic disc brakes, rack, fenders, adjustable handlebar, and the list goes on! If you want the best of the best folding bikes from Tern the Eclipse S11i is the one for you."
