Tern has won big at the annual Eurobike event in Germany. The cargo bike brand nabbed a Gold Award for it’s Orox Adventure cargo bike.

“We’ve won the #Eurobike Gold Award with the Orox!!!” read a statement on social media announcing the award. “Since the GSD began revolutionizing families’ lives worldwide, we’ve aimed to conquer unpaved paths. This ambition led us to create the Orox: an adventure cargo bike ready to go anywhere, any time, and bring it all.”

Tern is one of the OG cargo bike brands that tend to push the market through innovation and quality. When Tern releases a new model, it’s kind of a big deal. And, that is the case with its latest innovation the Orox Adventure Cargo Bike.

This off-road cargo bike looks like quite the beast. It is engineered to tackle any terrain and weather condition, empowering riders to explore new horizons with confidence and with a whole whack of cargo.

The Orox features an efficient and high-quality Bosch motor and a dual-battery capability offering an impressive range of close to 200 miles, ensuring that the journey never has to end prematurely.

“Six years ago, we introduced the GSD with the belief that a compact and easy-to-ride bike capable of carrying passengers and cargo would get people out of their cars and onto bikes,” said Tern’s Josh Hon. “We were right, and we love seeing all the amazing things people are doing with the GSD in crowded cities. But we also realized that there are plenty of places people want to go that are unpaved. And they want to bring their gear. For those trips, we made the Orox.”

What sets the Orox apart might be its apparent ability to excel in any environment. Some cargo bikes often falter on unpaved surfaces especially trails, while off-road bikes struggle with cargo capacity. The Orox bridges this gap, combining the ruggedness of a mountain bike with the utility of a cargo bike. Equipped with large-volume tires and a powerful motor, Tern boasts that it delivers serious traction and comfort.

The Orox is built with a frame and fork that facilitate effortless swapping between different wheel and tire sizes, including options for 26 x 5”, 27.5 x 4”, or 29 x 3”. Its heavy-duty fenders are designed to keep both the rider and the bike cleaner, especially in messy conditions. Additionally, the Frame Pack feature ensures the battery remains insulated, optimising performance even in cold temperatures.

Serious Hauling

The Orox isn’t just any hauler—it’s a heavy-duty powerhouse designed to handle whatever you throw its way. With a maximum gross vehicle weight capacity of 210 kg (462 lb) on-road and an unmatched 180 kg (397 lb) off-road, it’s ready for any challenge.

For urban riders, the Orox offers seamless transitions from the morning school run to a thrilling date-night ride along your favorite river trail. Meanwhile, adventure seekers can take their backcountry excursions to the next level by bringing along more supplies or indulging in extra comforts like a beloved cast-iron skillet, an additional tackle box, or even a cooler packed with ice-cold beverages.

With a full selection of Tern accessories, you can customize your Orox to perfectly suit your unique adventuring needs. Whether you’re exploring the city streets or venturing into the wilderness, the Orox is your ultimate hauling companion.

Advanced Design

One of the most remarkable features of the Orox is its inclusive design. With two frame sizes catering to a wide range of riders, it ensures a comfortable fit for individuals of different heights and builds, whether you’re a city commuter or a backcountry explorer.

Safety is paramount, especially when venturing into remote areas. Tern has prioritized safety in the design and construction of the Orox, ensuring that it meets rigorous off-road bike standards. From load-bearing components to motor and electrical systems, every aspect is meticulously tested to guarantee reliability and peace of mind for riders.

Additional Features

The Orox comes equipped with top-of-the-line features to ensure a smooth and powerful ride, even on the toughest climbs. Its Bosch Performance Line CX motor provides seamless, silent assistance, while the Bosch DualBattery system allows for an impressive range of nearly 200 miles (300 km). For added convenience and security, the Orox features the Bosch ConnectModule, enabling advanced functions like the eBike Alarm and eBike Tracking. Additionally, its chromoly rigid fork boasts 14 braze-ons, offering ample customization options for cargo. The Atlas X Cargo Wheels are designed to handle heavy loads with ease, thanks to their burly double-wall rims, Boost axles, and thick gauge spokes. Plus, the heavy-duty Atlas Kickstand XL makes loading cargo or passengers safer and more manageable.

Final Thoughts

The Orox is priced competitively, with starting prices at $6,499, making it accessible to a wide range of riders. Availability will begin in Europe and North America this April, with plans for expansion into other markets later in the year.

The Tern Orox Adventure Cargo Bike is a groundbreaking innovation that opens up a world of possibilities for riders seeking adventure off the beaten path. With its unparalleled performance, versatility, and rugged design, the Orox is poised to revolutionize the way we explore new terrain.
