Lighter and less expensive than the Tern GSD model, the HSD (which stands for Haul Stuff Daily), comes with premium fenders, custom suspension fork, adjustable-angle Andros stem, and ergonomic grips for added comfort. Compared to the GSD, it offers a lower weight capacity overall and can only handle one child seat
Comfortable and stable Schwalbe Big Ben tires provide puncture protection and reflective sidewalls to keep you visible. Premium integrated lights with excellent headlight position and aiming. Magura hydraulic disc brakes provide great stopping power with extra-large 180mm front rotor.

Limited 105 RPM pedal cadence from Bosch Active Line Plus vs. Performance Line. Gates Carbon belt drive is quiet and reliable, the Nexus 8-speed internally geared hub is durable and can shift at standstill, but these features add cost and the IGH adds weight
