Tern Orox vs. Tern GSD and HSD
While Tern Bicycles already offers the acclaimed Tern GSD and HSD models, the Tern Orox brings a whole new level of adventure and versatility to the table. Let's take a closer look at how the Tern Orox compares to its predecessors:
Carrying Capacity
The Tern Orox boasts an impressive maximum gross vehicle weight (MGVW) of 210 kg on the road and 180 kg in off-road conditions, according to ASTM condition 2 standards. With a maximum rider weight of 130 kg, this cargo bike can handle heavy loads effortlessly, making it ideal for commercial applications such as search and rescue, police/security operations, event management, and all-weather cargo or food delivery. Additionally, it caters to consumer needs, from commuting in challenging weather conditions to family camping trips and backcountry adventures.
Design and Size
The Tern Orox features a thoughtfully designed frame that balances compactness and stability. With two frame sizes available, it accommodates riders of different heights, ensuring a comfortable and ergonomic riding experience. The Orox is slightly longer than the Tern HSD, measuring 180 cm, but still maintains a compact profile suitable for urban environments. Its rugged construction and larger rear-rack provide excellent stability, allowing you to tackle any terrain with confidence.
Bosch eBike System
Both the Tern Orox and its predecessors, the Tern GSD and HSD, are equipped with Bosch eBike Systems for reliable and powerful performance.
The Tern Orox takes it up a notch with the Smart System, featuring enhanced security and connectivity via the BoschConnect Module. Learn more about the Bosch Smart System here.
Utilising the top specification Bosch CX motor, delivering 85Nm of torque and an impressive 400% pedal assistance, the motor ensures effortless navigation on steep hills and long-distance rides, even when carrying heavy loads. Coupled with the 800Wh and DualBattery option, with adventures of 300km+ in easy reach, the Tern Oror can conquer any challenge that comes your way.
Adaptability and Accessories
The Tern Orox offers a wide range of accessories to enhance its capabilities and cater to your specific needs. From the sturdy Stow Decks, which support up to 25 kg per side and fold away when not in use, to the Trail Rack with a 25 kg capacity and optimized fork geometry for stability, Tern provides practical solutions for all your cargo-carrying requirements. The Cargo Hold 72 Panniers offer a massive 140 L capacity per pair, ensuring you have ample space for all your gear. Additionally, the Clubhouse Gen 3 is designed to accommodate child seats and other essentials, making it perfect for family adventures.
Inclusive Design: Fit for Every Rider
At Tern, inclusivity is a top priority, and the Orox is designed to fit a wider range of riders. Special adjustments to frame geometry and component choice allow the Orox to accommodate riders of varying heights and weights. The Large size frame can fit riders up to 195 cm tall and 130 kg in weight, while the Medium size frame is suitable for riders as short as 155 cm. With its mid-step frame design, the Orox ensures that riders of all sizes can enjoy off-road adventures.
