2026 Tern

Orox S12 (29")

It’s a Tank! With a beefy frame and long wheelbase, this bike looks like it could be dropped into a warzone and hold its own. It’s just missing a mounted .50 cal.

The Bosch CX Mid-Drive motor is one of the smoothest and most natural motors we have tested.

Bring the kitchen sink thanks to the 380 lb max payload, racks rated for 220 lbs, and seemingly endless cargo options.

Very nice components like Shimano Deore XT 1×12 and Magura MT5 4-piston hydraulic brakes.

One of the best warranties in the game with five years of coverage on frame and parts plus an optional enrollment in Tern Care for a full 10-year warranty.

Versatility is the name of the game, as you can kit up the Orox to be an off-grid explorer or the family wagon around town.

Double the Fun! Owners can opt for the dual battery kits, which extend the range to a potential 181 miles on a single charge!

Fits a wide range of riders from 5’1″ to 6′ 5″ between the two available frame sizes.

There are accessories for days! Child seating, pet carriers, pannier bags, and everything in between—if you can think it, you can likely do it!

It’s sheer mass. Weighing 83 lbs and having a long wheelbase, it’s a tough bike to manage when not riding.

Price: The base model starts at $6500, and you’re likely getting several accessories added on top. This likely won’t be within the budget for a lot of people.
