Verge X10 - Fast and Lightweight Tern Folding Bike

[@michaeljorts5419]

I have been riding my Verge X10 daily for over 3 years. Probably the best purchase I have made, can keep up with real road bikes on 20-30 mile rides if you have the legs for it.

[@becomeaudible1]

That is definitely one of the best looking folding bikes I've seen. The colors are really nice. And I love the white wires, they really set off the white part of the frame.

[@info_1941]

I've owned both a Brompton and a Tern Verge 10. The Brompton folds much smaller but the Tern is a much better ride. It's fast, light and fits easily in the trunk of my car. I prefer the Tern Verge 10 ... I've had mine for several years without any problems. Need to replace the tires soon.

[@Snowballo]

I know Brompton is the best choice (so I've heard) but this bike... wow it's so cool. By far better looking than Brompton to me. I don't feel that "bear on little tricycle" feeling seeing it and it's great. Obviously IMHO.

[@UnseenSpirit]

I use to hate the look of the Brompton but when I ride mine, people at least in London recognise it as quality.

[@MegaCell27]

who say Brompton is the best ? is best what you like not what people say for me this bike is far ahead of brompton in design is aluminium not steel is very light weight

[@patches_kitty]

roberto OBRIJANU steel is definitely smoother though

[@harryptter35]

Francesco Zanolini brompton is so cool and look like a modern . But this bike have a lightweight and very fast . Bromptons are slowly . This is my opinion ☺️

[@AndreaMenzies]

I so want this folding bike, I am a fan of the bike folding.

[@joonmolee9220]

I just find this channel. It is very nice to see you again in folding bike reviews, Peter!

[@landonleblanc3896]

*Nice and easy to fold and unfold. I like the **Latest.Bike** of it components and so far it rides pretty well in pavement-ed trails*

[@stevemann1299]

Its a great bike. I've owned the X11 for 12 years and it's still going strong. And I have its big brother the X11 too. Two incredible bikes. They should always be available. No modern bikes are in the same league..

[@jamesdonlan2392]

Good to see you back Peter I love your videos looking forward to seeing your next video😀👍👍🤙🤝👏

[@bler43]

ugh!! just ordered this thing... can't wait for it to be delivered

[@bichovergara]

So cool to see you again Peter!! I just LOVE this bike... one day it will be mine!!

[@Bikesandlife]

+bichovergara very cool! Where will you go on your first ride? -Peter

[@bichovergara]

Bikes and Life I have no idea... I still have to explore more NYC. Any suggestions?

[@michaelbryant3054]

I ordered two of these from Peter. I hope to receive them soon.

[@ahatil]

did ypu received ??? how much its price ? let me to know pls

[@claydogmadman6295]

Great looking quality in that Tern folding...

[@larsthorwald3338]

If you think it feels like a normal bike, try riding hands-free. They're nice for casual twiddling around and short trips, but no folder is a replacement for a regular bike.

[@MrAndrew1953]

Like that- very clever, quality folding bike great for round town, taking on the train, home/office commute.

[@fender1000100]

Great for longer rides too. I've ridden across London 21 miles on my one. And so easy to ride and comfortable.

[@Movieman1965]

I have this model. But being I modify most of my bikes I made some changes. Since I wanted the lightest possible folding bike I removed the gearing and turned it into a single speed bike. I removed the rear brake and kept the front one. I changed the chain-wheel up front to a larger one to compensate for the smaller wheel diameter. Now I have a great folding bike that is light, fast and simple!

[@fender1000100]

I take it there's no hills where you live. The weight difference between a derailer and not having one isn't worth talking about. There's so many other ways you can weight shave. And the bikes already 21lbs.

[@Movieman1965]

@@fender1000100 You are correct! No hills here in Miami. If I was in a hilly area I WOULD NOT remove the gearing!

[@kealkowa]

amazing bike, i have one !!! much better perfomance than any brompton, i did 84 kms with no problem is like Goku´s flying Cloud !!!!!

[@coolamericano]

Haha that's pretty cool, I wonder why they say fold bikes aren't designed for such speed

[@fender1000100]

​@@coolamericano They are clueless. My friend has the Tern Verge X18. He has recorded speeds in excess of 50kph (31mph) on flat roads with no head wind.

[@wassimtv6017]

tanks for the review and it's nice to see u again

[@redtails]

With a bog-standard derailleur, V-brakes and aluminium frame, this sounds like a 300$ bike.. I was shocked to see it goes for 1500-1600$.

[@miffachan123]

I know. Bike is so overpriced. Check either savadeck folding bike or java bike they offer carbon folding bikes for less

[@stanleycraftsman8325]

For that price i would buy a nice mountain bike 😆😆😆

[@CosgroveNotts]

Silly money for a £500 bike. Doesn't even fold properly

[@fender1000100]

@@stanleycraftsman8325 You are ignorant. Try climbing a 25 degree hill at 21mph on a mountain bike. This bike and its successor the X11 are precision machines. That can give road bikes a run for their money. Then fold up and go in a car boot or closet.

[@fender1000100]

@@miffachan123 It's not it's worth every penny. You just don't know WHY.

[@seemovielove3597]

Is this bike good enough for trail riding? Thanks

[@Rwinxs4]

Where is TERN brand Come from? It looks so great , compact and good IN built

[@joelmicah7014]

do you have a review on a durable folding bike that can handle a heavy rider?

[@gordjohnson70]

Why don't you folding bike reviewers ever mention if the folding bikes are capable of any speed ? That's what we are concerned about. Is it a big secret ? Do we have to buy one, just to find out ? They might be WAYYY too slow to be practical. I'd like to buy a folding bike, but I'd need more info. about speed first. Why don't bike manufacturers make fun little bikes like that that don't fold ? They could be made to fit adults. Lots of seniors would buy them, just to piddle around with. They would be affordable because less materials would be needed. It seems like a no brainer to me. I'd buy one.

[@Sinblck]

Its Peter from Nyce Wheel! Love your review in all kind of bikes!

+shah rizal hey! Thanks for finding me! This is my new channel - no longer with the other place. Hope you subscribe and enjoy! What are you riding now?-Peter

Hi there Peter, currently i'm riding the Giant TCR SLR2. Thank you for asking. Hope you have a great day :)

[@Bikesandlife]

Very cool. That's an amazing bike. Have fun! -Peter

[@dkenson2185]

Quick, informative and to the point. Thank you.

[@roejenfernandez4282]

Good day, Peter! Can be upgraded from Vbrake to brake disc if ever?

[@SingleButHappy]

More beautiful than the Brompton, but less compact and not so good-looking when folded.

[@drgeatman]

cool you ran that stop sign about 1:10.

[@bongskisalva5365]

Is there another type of handle bar to replace that straight handle bar? I want to sit upright and comfortably can steer d bike easy.

[@surveyoffice5121]

does this bike has cruise control?

[@ultragorepictures]

shame the never Verge X10 model doesn't have V-brakes anymore... I love V-Brake mounts because you can place Magura HS33 hydraulic rim brakes on them! they are the most reliable and maintenance free brakes ever... The never Verge X10 has disk brakes that are very vulnerable for bends and when a wooden stick comes into you wheel...

[@timothylee6859]

I've had a Tern for a couple years and the handle bars have folded down while I was riding too many times than I can count. I've takin to bungie cording the lever shut. To see it is the same on this bike reminds me why I was looking at bikes in the first place.

[@TheAgentAssassin]

hacksaw the post off and add a solid stem problem solved

[@geoffreywelsby5889]

Hi Peter. Really nice review.. could you please give me some info on the tern node 8.. speed, hills, that though of thing.I really like that bike...

[@Brandon-xp1ob]

I have one. Great all around bike. Good going up minor hills. Great bike for commuting. I get plenty of speed, though I won't win any race against a road bike but it gets up to good speeds. Cheers!

[@sleepyandfun]

can you make a bike review about doppelganger folding bikes? thanks

[@danilocapellan1316]

Is a little bigger, than the Dahon bike ?

[@kwhatten]

Two questions: refresh my memory, this is 406 as opposed to 451? Second, say I wanted to convert to a disc brake on the front. I can get a disc brake hub and rim (to match) but is it possible to find a fork that fits this with disc brake tabs? Is it possible to get a Tern disc brake fork for use with this Verge X10?

[@ashleycuellar7203]

Outstanding!

[@bike_lain]

Cycling fashion is important too. ;)

[@Bikesandlife]

Too true! Are you poking fun at my fleece tucked into my jean shorts? ;) That might be a fashion foul... -Peter

[@johnp.6692]

Now I want this bike rather than a road bike

[@fender1000100]

Amazing bike. It's so efficient that it often feels like you are on an electric bike. The only time I have to do any real work is on hills. Or if I want to break the 25mph barrier on the flat. At cruising speed 16 to 20mph its effortless.

[@paulignacius]

Is it safe to do out of the saddle peddling on a tern bike particularly the verge line?

[@Bikesandlife]

+paulignacius Absolutely. These bikes are perfectly suited to hard riding. I won't say that about all brands but Tern is focused on ride quality and they've really made some great bikes. Have you ridden a folding bike before and had a bad experience or is it just something you assume based on the smaller wheel size? Thanks for your question!! -Peter

[@ziamura8095]

Price is hah

[@daytriker]

Hi Peter, I saw a Verge X10 in the flesh & it is one beautiful bike. I was wondering if this bike or the Verge S11i would be suitable for light touring? I like the idea of an easily packable, bike that could either pull a small trailer or carry a light load on a rack. One other question please - Are there differences in the frames of the various Tern Lines? i.e. Verge, Link & Eclipse or are they essentially the same frames with different component levels? Thank you.

[@Bikesandlife]

+daytriker verge frames are lighter than others and probably stiffer as well. The verge s11i is much heavier than this. If recommend putting a front derailleur and wider tires in the Verge x10 for a great lightweight touring setup. We can set you up with that if you like. Email me for a quote: [e-mail] - Peter

[@daytriker]

Thank you Peter.

Can the Tern fit into a standard sized suitcase when folded?

[@Bikesandlife]

+Godwin Tan ah! Another suitcase question! ;) no the Tern is just a bit too big for standard suitcases. They have their own case called the Airporter. That works well but will be over sized. For the best travel bicycle, check Brompton.-Peter

Can I fit it into a Samsonite suitcase like a Bike Friday?

[@g5ninabuenafe514]

Is the seat adjustable??

[@AttackedByALion]

Does the bike have wheels?

[@DarkPa1adin]

do the screws nuts/bolts rust?

[@Bikesandlife]

Good question, the nuts/bolts are a high quality steel with a coating to prevent rust. They should hold up very well but if left exposed to the elements and not kept inside clean and dry here can be some rusting. If you're concerned about this you can spray those parts with an anti-rust coating but you'd have to do that somewhat periodically.

Hi Peter I am huge fan of yours. I watched almost every videos of yours. My son and wife already started making fun of me for watching your videos during my every spare time.

21.3lbs, so very light for a folding bike. Thanks for your questing!-Peter

[@andres3104]

how is climbing?

[@fender1000100]

6 years late comment. But it climbs like a DREAM. Most hills feel like they don't exist on this bike. On the flat riding 20mph is effortless. You don't know how efficient this bike is until you ride it. I remember a group of spandex boys stopping me to talk about the X10 after I had hung on their group for 5 Miles. They were impressed how swift this little bike was. I had averaged 19mph over the 5 miles..

[@stfuplsok]

lucky the frame/hinges of that Tern did not snap/break into 2..

[@elevate-thecotton]

I wasn't fooled by the image of the tern bike that supposedly snapped in half and hundreds sent back. The bike is as structurally sound now as it was new and only the seat post is scratched due to folding. No regrets

[@stfuplsok]

ok.. but WHY did you reply here instead on your Original and First comment where Peter has also replied on your comment? and WHY did you DELETE your Original comment and should be answered there where i asked??

[@stuartsearle8242]

+youtuber I deleted cos I thought I would be pete's best friend but I'm not😂. what's your problem with tern bikes respectively?

[@stfuplsok]

+S. Searle and +Stuart Searle LOL and you're fooling me. ask Peter he knows more.. more than me.

[@Bikesandlife]

Let's address this concern head on: There was a recall due to one frame failure where a 3rd party investigator identified the factory welding to be the issue, not the Tern hinges. Tern immediately stopped production at that factory, recalled bikes produced by that factory from dealers and issued replacements to customers at no charge. Further, this issue occurred nearly 3 years ago and should not be a concern for new buyers. I'm glad you brought it up, just so we can put it to bed in case anyone else was wondering. :) Thanks as always for your great comments and thanks for watching!! -Peter

[@kackodemon]

This is a cool bike. Does anyone know anything about these new Richbit folding cycles from China? They have a similar sporty look but for a fraction of the price.

[@fender1000100]

Anything can look similar. It's the quality of the parts..and the ride quality.

[@eg3730]

is this electrik

[@Bikesandlife]

No, that's just a non-electric folding bicycle. Tern does have a model called the Elektron which is electric. -Peter
