The robust electric mountain bike that will carry all your camping gear.

The evolution of motors, batteries, and materials has given way to a generation of electric bikes capable of carrying cargo, traveling long distances, and tackling any terrain. We're witnessing a more versatile and adventurous form of mobility that combines technology, sustainability, and outdoor enjoyment. In this context, the Tern Orox emerges, an electric cargo bike that takes the concept of the utility bike to the next level.

Until now, the brand has been synonymous with smart urban electric mobility. But now it's going a step further with the arrival of the new Orox line, designed to carry weight and tackle all types of road surfaces. Tern aims to demonstrate that its cargo philosophy can also conquer the mountains. To this end, it presents this line, with a single adventure and family model available in two versions: the top-of-the-line R14 and the more basic S12.

Both variants share off-road characteristics. They feature high-volume tires measuring 27.5 inches in diameter and 4 inches wide, capable of handling snow, sand, or rocky roads without losing stability.

They maintain Tern's classic elongated frame, this time reinforced to withstand heavy loads, as it incorporates the possibility of adding front and rear accessories, from child seats to luggage racks for long journeys.

They can support up to 210 kilos in the city and 180 kilos on trails, a figure that places this bike well above the segment average. To achieve this, Tern has developed its own wheels, the Atlas X, designed to withstand the demands of this type of mixed use. The main difference between the two versions is their transmission and equipment level.

The Orox R14, the top-of-the-range model, features a grease- and maintenance-free Gates carbon belt, combined with a 14-speed Rohloff internal gearbox, one of the most precise and durable systems on the market, designed for those seeking maximum reliability on long journeys and with a load.

The Orox S12, on the other hand, uses a traditional chain with a Shimano Deore XT 12-speed derailleur, which is more affordable and easier to maintain, but with a somewhat more urban and recreational focus.

Both share a Bosch Performance Line CX motor with 85 Nm of torque and the option of mounting a dual battery, although the R14 offers a more refined and durable experience for demanding cyclists or off-road expeditions. All this justifies its price: around 7,000 euros for the top-of-the-range R14 version, and around 5,000 euros for the base S12 version.

The Orox isn't intended to replace the urban bike, but rather to broaden its horizons. It's a model designed for adventurous families, cycle tourists, and even delivery drivers who know no limits, combining the practicality of a cargo bike with the robustness of an electric mountain bike.
