News release Racks, Bags, Baskets - the Tern Cargo Carrying Ecosystem Taipei, Taiwan – Season 2016 – Urban transport specialist Tern has solidified its leadership as an urban transportation company by designing versatile racks and bags for its bikes. New accessories round out Tern’s offering, so riders can comfortably commute, shop, and tour on Tern’s folding bikes, without any compromises. “If you use a bicycle for transportation, you need to carry stuff, and hanging shopping bags off your handlebars or carrying a heavy backpack is not the way to go,” stated Joakim Uimonen, Tern chief designer. “We’ve developed an incredibly strong rack and an aluminum basket that, together, can be adapted to carry just about anything.” Tern Cargo Rack – First Tern Rack Approved for Child Seats The Cargo Rack is a robust rear rack constructed of thick-gauge aluminum tubing and incorporating the ultra-rigid DoubleTruss™ 3D design found on Tern bikes. Delivering a solid 25 kg (55 lb) load capacity, the Cargo Rack can be used with pannier bags on each side as well as a rack top bag on the KLICKfix™ compatible top deck. The unique SideStrap™ anti-roll anchoring system keeps top deck cargo tied down securely and internal cable routing allows clean wire installations for dynamo powered rear lights. The Cargo Rack is Tern’s first rack to be approved for use with a child seat. The rack has been tested with the Yepp Maxi Easyfit Child Seat for geometry, strength, and heel clearance. “Standard racks are prone to sideways sway because their supports are in a vertical, 2D plane,” continued Uimonen. “The Cargo Rack eliminates this problem with a rigid 3D truss structure that resists movement, even under heavy loads.” The Cargo Rack is available in black and has a MSRP of €60. Kori Basket Joins Tern Accessory Lineup Pairing seamlessly with the new rack, the Tern Kori Basket is a modern and sleek rear basket made of rigid, tubular aluminum. Designed to haul hefty loads, the Kori basket uses a KLICKFix™ attachment that engages securely but is easy to disengage when the basket needs to be removed for shopping. The Kori is compatible with all Tern racks and all KLICKfix compatible racks. The Kori basket is available in black and silver and sells for a MSRP €89.00. The Big Mouth Pannier The Big Mouth Pannier is the newest and biggest addition to Tern's ecosystem of bags that help you carry a load on your bike. The Big Mouth holds up to 23 L so it's perfect for grocery runs or daily commuting. Thanks to the wide cinch-top opening, riders can easily organize, load, and secure their cargo. The Big Mouth hangs on the side of the rear pannier rack with robust Ortlieb pannier hooks, so it’s built for years of reliable operation. It's constructed from rugged 840 and 1020 denier nylon and it's light too—only 0.87 kg. Plus, it folds flat when not in use, for a discreet and narrow profile. The Big Mouth Pannier is availble at a MSRP €65.00. The Kontii Basket Lightweight, roomy and virtually indestructible, the Kontti Basket is a cargo workhorse for rear racks. Boasting a generous 18 liter capacity and support for loads up to 9 kg, the Kontti uses Ortlieb rack mounts for easy one-hand operation. Rugged polypropylene construction, an open-top design, reflective accents for nighttime visibility, and a convenient carrying handle make it perfect for getting things done around town at only €40.00 MSRP. BioLogic Commute™ Bag - Easy on, easy off waterproof bag The BioLogic Commute Bag gets all stuff to wherever you’re going—dry and protected. It’s made from waterproof TPU fabric and features welded seams and a roll-top design so water can’t get inside. Attaching the Commute Bag to a compatible Tern or BioLogic rack is a breeze: set it on the rack, slide it, and the KLICKfix™ bracket clicks into place. For taller, heavier loads, the patented 3Point™ shoulder strap converts into additional support straps that keep the load in place even if you’re swerving through traffic. Side mesh pockets are sized for a BioLogic Pango™ folding helmet. The Commute Bag comes with a suggested retail price of €99.99. RidePocket - Handlepost mounted pocket replacement The RidePocket is a compact handlepost bag built to hold everything riders keep in their pockets: wallet, cellphone, and keys. With the RidePocket riders can cycle comfortably - no more sitting on their house keys. Since it’s intuitively organized, one’s essentials are right where they need them—no more fishing around in the bottom of a backpack or pannier. The RidePocked includes a weatherproof rain cover, so it’s ready for torrential downpours, and it’s built from durable 420 denier nylon, so it’s tough. It mounts securely, but comes off easily, so you can bring it in with you when you lock your bike outside. The RidePocket sells for a MSRP €25.00. Luggage Truss – practical front luggage mount Attach bags, baskets, and racks to the front of a Tern bike. The Luggage Truss™ cleverly attaches cargo to the frame of the bike rather than the fork or handlebar—so that the cargo doesn’t affect steering. Fabricated from rugged aluminum, the Luggage Truss (MSRP €49,99) is extremely stiff and can hold loads up to 7 kg (15 lb). BioLogic HoldAll Basket – The bike-basket reinvented, sustainably The HoldAll Basket (MSRP €49,99) is a simple, convenient way to carry more stuff on a bike. The KLICKfix™ quick-release bracket lets you pop off the basket when you need to and the basket mounts to the frame of your bicycle so it doesn’t affect steering like typical handlebar- or fork-mounted baskets. Kanga™ Rack – Front-mounted rack The Kanga rack is designed for all kind of stuff — backpack, laptop bag, or bag of groceries. An ingenious KlickFix™ strap system adjusts to bags or packages of all shapes and sizes and cinches them tight. Unlike handlebar- or fork-mounted systems, the Kanga connects directly to the frame so heavy loads can be carried without affecting steering. When it’s not needed the Kanga detaches just by pushing a button. You can mount the Kanga Rack for a MSRP €49,99.
