Tern Verge folding bike

Ahead of the Curve

The Verge's striking curves pack a visual punch—but good looks aren't its only standout feature. The Verge is a triple threat, offering style, speed, and exceptional comfort in a conveniently compact package. Innovative design choices make the Verge as fast as it looks, so you'll be ahead of the curve and ahead of the pack.

Built for Speed

The Verge will get you from A to B—but it's also ready to go the extra mile (fast!). Several innovations maximize the Verge's PPI (Performance Per Inch): 451 wheels, a strong hydroformed frame, aerodynamic T-Tuned™ geometry, and ultra-wide gearing built for tackling hills and tearing through straightaways.

Fast Folder

The Verge's 451 wheels are big enough to give you an extra boost but small enough to enable a fast, compact fold. With a folding time of under 10 seconds, the Verge can accompany you anywhere with ease. Carry it onto public transit, stash it under your desk at work, and never worry about trying to secure it outdoors.

Verge-exceptional comfort and stability

Comfort and Stability

Going fast should feel good, so we prioritized comfort and stability when creating the Verge. Its unique T-Tuned geometry and stiff hydroformed frame create a ride every bit as stable as a full-size bike, while a spacious cockpit and adjustable stem let you dial in the riding position that suits you best.

Why the Verge?

Tern Verge folding technology

Tern Folding Technology

Designing a high-performance bike that still folds down small requires us to have some tricks up our sleeve. Innovations like our patented Andros Stem, Physis 3D Handlepost, and OCL+ Frame Joint make it possible.

More suitable for travelling than you might think at first sight: folding bikes like this one from Tern are especially practical for transfers

RADtouren

Paired with the 9-26 cassette (yes, that’s right – the smallest sprocket has just nine teeth) [the Verge X18] gives a range of 28-109 gear inches, which is comparable to a standard compact road bike gearing set-up.

Cyclist

With a matt-black finish, Pro X wheels and flashes of metallic blue the Verge looks unlike most folders – fast and attractive.
