Urban transportation specialists Tern Bicycles announce a new collection of bikes, developed in collaboration with Kitt design of Osaka. Called "Roji’ bikes (alley in Japanese), the bikes are designed specifically for the Japan market and are distinguished by 650C tires, optimized geometry in smaller frame sizes, and striking design details.
The non-folding Roji bikes open a new chapter in Tern’s commitment to sustainable transportation. The Roji bikes come in four models, the urban-styled Rip and Clutch, and the classically styled Rally and Gleam.
“Our goal as a company is to build a world where choosing sustainable transportation is not just the right choice, but the convenient choice too,” said Joshua Hon, Founder and Team Captain of Tern. “We started with folding bikes because of their fundamental utility, but we’re passionate about any form of sustainable transportation. We love working with Kitt Design because they have an incredible eye for detail and subtlety, and a deep appreciation for classic style.”
