Tern Verge D9 Folding Bike

The Tern Verge D9 is a high-quality value for money folding bike that will help you overcome the demands of modern inner-city transport. It features a lightweight and durable frame that folds down in just 10 seconds, making it ideal for commuting, urban errands and fits conveniently under your desk at work, in your home storage unit or when on public transport. Plus, it’s equipped with a Shimano 1×9-Speed drivetrain, hydraulic disc brakes and a fully adjustable cockpit. This bike makes every journey enjoyable, efficient and fun, while easily folding away for storage or for carrying onto the next stage of your journey.

Comfortable T-Tuned Geometry and 451 Race Wheels

The Verge D9 is a trailblazer. Born out of our 451 Verge design philosophy, it has bigger race wheels, T-Tuned geometry, and a wide 1x drivetrain. It’s about as much value as Tern could condense into one bike, and it’s ready for any upgrades you can throw at it.

OCL+ Frame Joint Folding Design

A heavy-duty update to Tern’s iconic OCL frame hinge, the OCL+ is built to exceed ISO 4210 and EN 15194 testing requirements. Leveraging the hinge design of the long-tail Tern Cargo Node, the OCL+ features a single-shaft design, advanced welding techniques, and robust gussets, so it stays stiff and strong during even the fastest commutes.

T-Tuned Geometry

Tern endeavours to build fast-folding bikes that ride like full-sized bikes. Their T-Tuned geometry is the culmination of their expertise and commitment. They’ve tweaked the wheelbase, rake, and seat-tube angle of our design to deliver the most confident and stable ride of any bike in Tern’s line-up. Ride one and try it.

Physis 3D Adjustable Handlepost

Five patented technologies and unique manufacturing technology add up to the strongest, stiffest folding handlepost available. The Physis uses a special manufacturing process called 3D forging, which forms the post from a single piece of aluminium, eliminating all welds.

Adjustable Syntace VRO Stem System

Your bike should adapt to fit you―not the other way around. This adjustable stem allows you to position your handlebars further, for a more stretched and aggressive riding position, or up higher for increased comfort.
