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.

Unveiled today, 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.

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.

From load-bearing components to motor and electrical systems, every aspect is meticulously tested to guarantee reliability and peace of mind for riders.

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.
