Tern DoubleTruss Folding Bike Design

DoubleTruss Technology

Stiffer by design

The rear half of Tern frames use a patented 3D structure we call DoubleTruss to build in extra stiffness. It helps resist torsional forces so our bikes flex less. That means increased stiffness and much better power transfer from the pedals to the rear wheel. The proof’s in the ride.

Tern Frame Hinge - FBL Gen 1

FBL Frame Joint

Strong and secure

The FBL (Four-Bar Linkage) Joint is a tried and true design that keeps a frame securely locked. It features a forged and precision machined lever designed to offer a smooth surface for fingers. All other hardware is stainless steel for durability.

NVO Axis Stem

NVO® Axis Stem

Easy adjustment

Comfort is about a bike that adapts to you, not the other way around. The ingenious Axis stem lets you adjust the height and reach of the handlebars to whatever feels best for you. For storage, it easily rotates 90 degrees so your bike can tuck out of the way.

Height Adjustment

Loosen a single bolt with the tool hidden in your handlebars and the stem can easily slide higher or lower for the perfect fit.

Reach Adjustment

Loosen another bolt and you can adjust the reach of your handlebars. Loan your bike to your wife, boyfriend, kids and it’ll fit them just as well.

Simple Storage

For storage, you can rotate the stem 90 degrees so your handlebars are out of the way. Perfect if you stash your bike in a hallway or porch or need to need to load it into a van.

Schwalbe Big Apple Tires - Comfortable tires for folding bikes

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.

Faster Rolling

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.

Wide for Comfort

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.

Puncture Protection

Big Apples feature a Kevlar belt to protect from punctures.

Reflex for Safety

Each Big Apple tire features a reflective stripe so you are immediately, and obviously, visible to cars approaching from the side.
