Technology

Physis 3D Handlepost

The new benchmark

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.

Andros Stem

Adjust to fit

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.

Biologic Postpump Seatpost: Bicycle pump in a seatpost

BioLogic PostPump 2.0 Seatpost

Be Prepared

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.

Avid® BB7 Disc Brakes

Sure Stopping Power

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.

SRAM® DualDrive Drivetrain

The Widest Range

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.

Schwalbe® Big Apple Tires

Cush for your tush

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.

Valo Light

Floodlights for your ride

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.

Cargo Rack

Load ’er up

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.
