Tern Unveils Verge S27h

“The Mile Eater” marries carrying capacity and ride quality

TAIPEI, TAIWAN – August 14, 2014 – Urban transport specialist, Tern, today introduced the Verge S27h as the latest addition to its award-winning Verge lineup. The Verge S27h carries rider and load with sure-footed confidence whether treking over 3K passes or riding to a local market.

Designed in partnership with velowerk of Switzerland, the Verge S27h stands out from head to toe. The hydroformed frame and 3Dforged handle post deliver an incredibly stiff riding platform that is ideal for big and tall riders. Custom CroMO fork, extra long seatsays, solid disc brakes and ultra-wide 27-speed gearing ensure durability, safety and superior long distance travel performance on any terrain. Schwalbe Big Apple 55 mm tires roll fast and smooth to make for a Cadillac ride. The Andros adjustable stem sports the integrated 40Lux Valo 2 light, which is powered by a super-efficient BioLogic Joule 3 dynamo hub.

The bike comes with a ‘floor’ pump integrated into the seat post and is Rohloff-ready with an eccentric bottom bracket and compatible drop outs. The heavy-duty dual-rail Cargo Rack and a front low rider rack offer plenty of load carrying capacity, yet the bike still folds down in 10 seconds for easy transport or storage.

The Verge S27h will retail for 1.699 Euro / US$1,900
