任何摺曡車的關鍵是車架,尤其是車架中心的摺疊接頭。 OCL可以安靜的將車框架的兩半鎖定在一起,令OCL成爲折疊框架技術的佼佼者。
Making the hinge taller and moving the pivoting surfaces outward from the center axis more than doubles overall strength and stiffness. It’s a difference you’ll feel from your very first ride.
The patented design puts four igus® bearings between the aluminum and stainless steel moving parts so the folding action is always smooth and friction-free.
The front and rear joint surfaces lock together to eliminate torsional movement.
Large rounded surfaces on the lever and joint bodies are easy on your hands and allow good leverage for easy operation.
Close the lever and the AutoLok automatically locks in place, for extra, easy security.
Patented technology allows the lever to fold flat and brace against the joint for protection in transit.
Good things are built to last and that’s why the OCL Joint is designed to be dealer serviceable. We keep every part in stock and if your bearings ever wear out, your dealer can replace them in a few minutes.
A machining tolerance of only 50 microns ensures a tight fit and eliminates looseness and rattling.
Cold-worked stainless delivers the durability and reliability needed for daily riding in all weather conditions.
Tern框架的後半部分使用獲得專利的3D 結構(Double Truss)來增强剛度。它能有助抵抗扭轉力。減少彎曲我們的單車。這能大大增强剛度,令到踏板到後輪的動力傳遞得更好,提升騎車的效率。
Four patented technologies and unique manufacturing technology add up to the strongest, stiffest handlepost available. The Physis uses a special manufacturing process called 3D forging, which forms the post from a single piece of aluminum, eliminating all welds.
To eliminate flex, the Physis was designed with a massive joint knuckle and a post that gradually tapers from thick at the base to thin. The fork steerer interface is 150% more stiff than common designs.
The base of the Physis is machined so it functions as the upper race of the headset. This patented direct integration contributes to the incredible stiffness of the design.
Joint surfaces lock together to improve torsional stiffness.
Two bolts clamp the Physis to the fork steerer for improved safety.
The patented design puts sliding bearings between the moving parts so the folding action is always smooth and friction-free.
Large rounded surfaces are easy on your hands and provide good leverage for easy operation.
Close the lever and it automatically locks in place, for extra, easy security.
Patented technology allows the lever to fold flat and brace against the joint for protection in transit.
Good things are built to last and that’s why the Physis is designed to be fully dealer serviceable. We keep every part in stock and replacing the bearings can be done in minutes.
Three rubber seals keep weather out and the headset bearings functioning smoothly.
A machining tolerance of only 50 microns ensures a tight fit and eliminates looseness and rattling.
Cold-worked stainless hardware delivers the durability and reliability needed for daily riding.
The Physis features a unique patented geometry with a forward facing hinge for additional safety.
The Andros is our patented adjustable stem that lets you set your handlebars where you want—no tools, no fuss. In just seconds you can set your riding position to long and low in a tough headwind, or upright and comfy for riding around town. You decide how you want to ride and the Andros makes your bike fit.
Patented quick-release, tool-free design is easy to operate.
The Andros design uses two stems, spaced widely apart for excellent torsional stiffness.
Accommodates riders of all sizes so one bike can be shared by multiple riders.
Stainless hardware and brass bushings for long-term durability.
You’ll always be prepared with this high-capacity floor pump hidden inside your seatpost. A true floor pump, it delivers a much higher volume of air than traditional mini-pumps, and the pumping action is easy—great for those high pressure or large volume tires.
Only 40 strokes to reach 50 psi in a 20″ × 1.5″ tire
The reversible presta/schraeder chuck screws securely onto tire valves—a nice feature to have if you’ve ever experienced a friction fit chuck popping off while you’re inflating a high pressure tire.
The stainless-steel foot stand allows you to use your body weight and gravity to do a lot of the pumping work.
With your high capacity pump stashed invisibly inside your seat post, you’ll be much safer from thieves.
Avid BB7 disc brakes deliver excellent all-weather stopping power and are the best mechanical disc brakes available. We prefer them on touring bikes because cables are easy to repair in the field.
A hub dynamo is the ultimate green power source because it generates electricity while you ride—no batteries or recharging required. The Joule 3 is one of the very lightest and smallest dynamo hubs on the market and is one of only a handful that exceeds the High Efficiency (HE) 70% threshold. Say goodbye to batteries. Winner of a Eurobike award, the Joule 3 meets German StVZO standards for a 6V/3W hub—meaning it can power both a front and rear light.
The Joule 3 is so efficient that there’s no noticeable drag even as it’s powering your lights. Most other dynamo hubs are much less efficient; the lower the efficiency, the more drag you feel when you’re riding.
The non-disc version of the Joule 3 hub weight a mere 356 grams.
Available in 6-bolt disc brake version with 100 mm OLD.
DualDrive combines the convenience and low-maintenance of an internal hub gear with the pedaling efficiency of a derailleur system. With DualDrive you get the granny gears of a mountain bike and the descending gears of a road bike so you’re ready for any adventure, no matter the road.
Big Apples are special because they’re fast rolling AND super comfy. Sounds hard to believe but you’ll just have to take them for a ride to become a believer.
Wide tires roll better than skinny tires at the same tire pressure. Yes, it’s true! Big Apples are extra special because they use a light and flexible tread and sidewall for extra low rolling resistance.
Super-wide Big Apple tires are like 2" of super-efficient suspension. They roll smoothly over drainage grates, train tracks and potholes with little complaint.
Big Apples feature a Kevlar belt to protect from punctures.
Each Big Apple tire features a reflective stripe so you are immediately, and obviously, visible to cars approaching from the side.
The Cargo Kickstand is built strong and will keep your fully loaded Tern bike upright. It uses Pletscher’s rear chainstay mount design.
The Valo is a powerful light designed to help you navigate safely at night. The unique design integrates directly into the handlebars of an Andros or VRO-equipped Tern bicycle so it’s protected from theft and damage. And because it’s hub-dynamo powered, you never need to worry about batteries or charging again. Flick a switch and you have instant light.
We designed the Valo with Herrmans, the Finnish lighting experts who have a side business making lights for massive earth tunneling machines. No surprise then that the Valo is ready for all weather conditions: it’s made from cold-resistant ABS with built in water management channels.
The Valo puts out 41 lux of light, 4x brighter than the European requirement for bicycle lighting. That means you get a bright, wide beam of light that makes cycling at night safe and reassuring.
The Valo has a carefully shaped mirror that optimizes the beam pattern for cycling. It is wide, so you can see potential obstacles or hazards on the side of the road. It is even, without hotspots, so your night vision is not compromised. And it is clipped at the top of the beam pattern so you don’t blind oncoming cyclists or motorists.
The Valo has light channels on each side so that you are visible to cars approaching from the sides. For additional safety, the Valo has two additional LED’s on each side, which light up when you’re stopped at a traffic light.
The Valo protects your sensitive night vision with a small visor that blocks light from the Valo from reflecting back into your eyes.
LED lights need to run cool to work optimally. If they run too hot over a period of time, they gradually lose brightness. Most LED lights have a tiny button sized heat sink that is used to dissipate heat. Our patented design connects the Valo to the handlebar so the entire bar is used as a massive heat sink.
You need to be safe when you’re out on the road. That’s why we’ve designed our hard-core commuter bikes with 720° Visibility: 360° of active lighting and 360° of reflectivity.
Specially designed lights allow you to be seen from all angles when it’s dark out. Accidents often occur at 90° angles at an intersection so active side lighting is especially important.
Bright car headlights can overwhelm the active lights on a bike and this is why reflectivity is important: the brighter a car’s headlights, the brighter the reflective patches shining back at the driver. Bikes with 360° Reflectivity are visible from every angle to oncoming cars.
Designed for loaded touring, the Spartan Rack is built from large-gauge tubular aluminum for strength and stiffness. It delivers excellent stability even when saddled with fully-loaded panniers.
The Cargo Rack is designed to get stuff off your back and onto your bike so you can enjoy the ride. It is outrageously stiff and chock full of smart details that make it better than anything else we’ve used for hauling large loads. Optimized for the unique geometry of Tern bicycles.
A rack with inadequate stiffness has a very disorienting fishtail effect when carrying a heavy load. For stiffness, we use super-oversized tubular aluminum for the top deck and a DoubleTruss rear stay design that triangulates the rear stays.
The Cargo Rack is height adjustable so that it will fit pannier bags and baskets of all sizes. It’s designed so panniers sit a little further back on the rack, ensuring adequate heel clearance on every compatible Tern bicycle.
The Cargo Rack is compatible with all KlickFix Rackpack compatible baskets and trunk bags on the top deck.
Anybody who’s had something on the rear rack slip off and into a rear wheel knows how important it is to have a steadfast rear strap system. The simple but versatile SideStrap system is brilliant at keeping loads of all shapes and sizes firmly in place so you can ride with confidence.
Fully adjustable upper and lower stays allow you keep the rack low and sleek when you’re in town and up high when you’re touring with full-sized panniers.
