Features
OCL™ Frame Joint
ADVANCED FOLDING TECHNOLOGY
The key to any folding bicycle is the frame, and specifically, the folding joint at the heart of the frame. Done well, it locks the two halves of the frame together without any hint of movement or sound. It should be easy to operate and work flawlessly year after year. The OCL Joint does all of these things and is a new reference in folding frame technology.
- Stronger by Design 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.
- Smooth Operation 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.
- Interlocking Joint The front and rear joint surfaces lock together to eliminate torsional movement.
- Easy to Use Large rounded surfaces on the lever and joint bodies are easy on your hands and allow good leverage for easy operation.
- Doubly Safe Close the lever and the AutoLok automatically locks in place, for extra, easy security.
- Floating Point Technology Patented technology allows the lever to fold flat and brace against the joint for protection in transit.
- Serviceable 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.
- Precision-Machined A machining tolerance of only 50 microns ensures a tight fit and eliminates looseness and rattling.
- Stainless Steel Hardware Cold-worked stainless delivers the durability and reliability needed for daily riding in all weather conditions.
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.
Compac Fold Technology
BIG BIKE, SMALL FOLD
Designing an uncompromised full size bike to fold into a compact package is a difficult engineering exercise. Compac Fold technology let’s us get a 650B bike down to a usefully small folded package that can easily tossed in a cab, taken on a bus, or stashed in a coat closet.
NVO Stem
DESIGNED TO ADAPT
Want your bars higher for more comfort? Lower for more speed? The ingenious NVO stem adjusts in seconds so you get the riding position you want. Even better, the tool for adjusting the stem is hidden in the handlebar.
Shimano Hydraulic Disc Brakes
ALL-WEATHER STOPPING POWER
Shimano hydraulic disc brakes deliver powerful stopping power in all weather conditions with the touch of a finger.
Schwalbe Big Ben Tires
ROLL OVER ANYTHING
Big Ben’s are like monster truck tires for your bike. They roll over anything and cushion your ride. But they’re built with top notch rubber so you can get them up to high pressure and still roll fast on the road.
Magnetix™ 2.0
KEEP IT TOGETHER
The Magnetix 2.0 uses powerful magnets to keep your bike folded for situations like carrying your bike up and down stairs. With a pull force 10-15 Kgf, the Magnetix 2.0 will keep your bike folded even when being jostled and moved about.
