New Tern Bikes coming in: Tern Verge X10, Tern Verge X20, and Tern Verge X30!

by Jack on June 5, 2012

Beginning next week, we are getting a shipment of some of our post popular and best-selling bikes: The Tern Verge X10, Tern Verge X20, and Tern Verge X30h!

I first rode the Tern Verge X30 before I started working at NYCeWheels. At the time I was working as a freelance writer, test-riding bikes at NYCeWheels, and submitting blogs for a little extra change. I took out the Tern X30h, and Bert, the owner, gave me a level look, “Be careful with that one, it goes FAST, don’t hurt yourself.” I laughed, Bert gave a one of his patented “level looks,” and I assured him I would, backing out of the room.

So much fun on the Tern Verge X30!

Man, I had fun on that first ride! The Tern Verge X30h is a folding bike, but it looks and feels like a road bike. Unlike many folding bikes, the Verge X30 has road-biker handlebars that curve forward allowing you to get down in that perfect aerodynamic position that just looks so good in spandex. It has a 30 speed SRAM drive train for climbing hills and going very fast , it has a stiff frame with Tern OCL hinges, and, at 22.7 lbs, I mean, come ON!

The Tern Verge X10 is even lighter!

I didn’t get a chance to ride The Tern Verge X10 until much later, when I started working part time at NYCeWheels. I wouldn’t have believed it, but the Tern Verge X10 is even lighter than the X30h, weighing only 21.3 lbs. Where the Tern Verge X30h is designed to look and feel more like a road bike, the Verge X10 is more of a high performance commuter.

Literally, you can put two fingers under the frame of the X10 and just lift the bike straight into the air. The Tern Verge X10 also folds down much smaller than the X30 due to its flat handlebars. It’s not at all hard to imagine folding the bike up, and carrying it into a coffee shop or into the metro!

The Tern Verge X20, the show stopper.

Finally, the Tern Verge X20 takes the Verge X30 and gives it a major upgrade, using extremely top of the line parts that one would see at the highest levels of competition. It has a Carbon Fiber Crank and a SRAM RED derailleur, with titanium parts interspersed; super durable, Kinetex pro wheels and an advanced hydroformed frame. With all of these advanced parts, the Tern Verge X20 is still lighter than either the Tern X10 or the X30, weighing only 20.5 lbs.

All of these three amazing bikes will be here next week, so don’t wait pre-order a Tern Verge Bike today!

    After a very minor accident with my Verge X10, I sent my bike back to the shop where I purchased from for an inspection. The mechanic told me something was bended & he’ll try to savage it. Well, I guess he did. I was told that the bike is alright after an hour.

    On my next ride, I’ve noticed that there is no resistance in any of the gears which is more like in gear 1 & 2, except 8-10. The shifting on the gears is also not as smooth like before. I went back to the shop again, after shifiting with the gears I was told there’s nothing wrong with it. I’ve requested to change whatever parts that is affected but was told they do not have suitable parts for me.

    I sent it to another shop for 2nd opinion, he did the same check & told me there’s nothing wrong. But I’ve noticed there’s something in common, this happened in both shops when I saw them did the checking, the chain came off when at the lower gears. I was told that there’s something wrong with the alignment this time, I saw him did some adjustment & I hope is fine.

    On my next few rides the problem still unsolved, I cannot use gears 1-7 at all, there’s no resistance, the bike hardly move. I’m now questioning the durability of this bike. Any suggestion how I shall proceed from here?

    Thank you in advance if I can find help here.
