Hey folks, this is Peter from Bikes and Life. Now we're here to show you the "Tern Verge X10"
Lightweight, compact, portable, folding
bike
so with any folding bike the first thing
you have to do obviously is unfold it, if
you're going to ride. So with this Tern you
lift the handle bar, swing
the mainframe, open and then lift the seat
right up. Its really a pretty bike and I have
to say when you look at it you think
fast and when you ride it, definitely
feel fast too. let's take it out for a spin
and I'll tell you more about it
So the Verge X10 was one of the first bikes that Tern built and they really made
it to exemplify performance and
portability it's got a very very cool
shape frame that looks very aerodynamic because it's engineered for
speed and engineered for performance.
They did that by using a hydroformed
aluminum tubing in order to make the
dramatic shape that you see on the bike.
With hydroformed tube that's actually
where they take like any aluminum to
that you might imagine, they put it into
a negative mold and then they inject
super high pressure liquid into it.
the force that you've got into the shape
that they want. The point is that they
want the frame to be different shapes in
order to give different parts of a
different characteristics like stiffness
or durability or lightweight so you know
that's how they're able to achieve such a
rigid, strong frame. so that when you get
up when you're pedaling out of the
saddle and really working hard it
actually feels like a regular bike, while
still maintaining the super wet
lightweight characteristic. Alright so we
made it out here to isolate spot to sit
and talk about the bike and i really
wanted to just show you some of the
details that make the verge x10 such an
incredible folding bicycle.
Because when you have something that
looks this good you know it's got to ride good.
One of the first things you notice is
the paint job. I mean it's just such a
good looking bike. Everything from you
know the deep section rims with the
green accents that match to the white
grips and the White Seat with the green
accents on those, Tern has done a
fantastic job making this bike look
amazing. The components on the Verge X10 are all pretty and top-quality. So you
have a thumb shifter up here, on the handlebar which allows you to quickly and easily
shift gears with just the click of a
thumb and that's actually changing gears
back here it's changing your SRAM X9
derailleur and that SRAM derailleur is very quick to
move you from one gear to another. So
when you want to change gears the bike
responds very quickly when you look at
the rear wheel you'll see that actually
has these cool V breaks that gives you
a very firm stopping power when you pull
in the brake levers. See you always feel
like you can confidently get to a stop
thanks to those brakes. The rim or a deep section rim and a deep section rim is
designed to be more aerodynamic it's
designed to be a little bit stiffer so
these wheels and the Hubs and everything
about them are designed for speed so
guess what I'm really trying to say if
at all these parts is that they are some
of the best that Tern makes, they're some
of the best that you can find on any
folding bike so now that we've taken a
look at all the different parts on the
bike I wanted to show you again in
detail how the bike folds, so the first
thing your gonna do when you fold the
turn is you want to open this clamp drop
the seat down the second thing that you
want to do is push forward and pull the hinge away and that
breaks them out of the way now you
actually just spin this forward
and what's happening as you bringing two
magnets together at the back of the bike
race here the very last step is for you
to push up on the safety lever here and
push away on that hinge and you just have
this little rubber strap that clicks in
right there. When you're unfolding the
bike it's the same process in reverse
so you bring the handlebar up click that
in place sling the wheel forward
close the main hinge and then lift the
seat up to your desired height but
that's it i mean as you can see it's a
very easy to use, very well made and
well-thought-out folding bicycle. So if you want to watch all the different videos that
we have and all the folding bikes we
ever reviewed you can click right up here to
watch our folding bike playlist the next
thing you can watch as if you want to
check out the different folding bicycle
something a little bit different not as
lightweight not as performance oriented
but something very compact and portable
