Tern Link D8 folding bike, best value Tern bicycle

[nycewheels]

I think it could do all of those things admirably, but it is definitely designed with commuting in mind. You will certainly get as good a workout as you like, and I've ridden the D8 for 10-20 miles comfortably.

I'm going to buy one of these as soon as I get the money. All of my research is telling me this is by far the best bang for the buck that won't crap out in a few years.

It's true the Link D8 doesn't fold up as small as some of our other bikes, but all in all, its about the best quality you can find without going up to a higher price range. - Jack

You'll have no problem going fast on the D8. The Speed P8 has thick big apple tires that will absorb rougher terrain better, but the link D8 should be able to match the P8 in speed- jack

You can add a variety rear trunk bags, panniers, and other cargo accessories to your rear rack. Cable tension can be adjusted by your friendly local bike mechanic.
Glad you're liking it!

*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*

Hi, to decide between the two bikes, its best to think about what kind of riding you want to be doing. The Speed P8 has wide Schwalbe Big Apple tires to handle tough streets. It is a tough dependable commuter. The Link D8 has the incredibly well designed hinge technology that Tern is known for, good components, as well as fenders and a rear rack. Personally I would recommend, the Tern D8, a great bike, and for the same price, you're getting a brand new product! Hope that helps- Jack

Hi rommel, clamp brakes exert pressure on the rims which slow the bike through friction, while disc brakes are attached to the wheel itself, and slow the bike via mechanics or hydraulics. Best- Jack

That is a great trick, I'll try and put it in the next video! thanks for your comments!- Peter

True, the Strida folds very quickly but is not as useful for longer rides or bad roads. We have sold a quiet a few of those nice little machines but noticed more maintenance was required if used for daily commuting. (mostly wheel, spoke and free-wheel issues) But yes, we like the Strida as well. -Bert

It can be easy to miss the small silver latch if you're not looking for it. Glad you're enjoying the D8, love to see some pics, if you want to look us up on FB - jack

this video sealed the deal for me. Went into a local shop and bought myself the LinkD8. took it for a cruise in the city yesterday, and rode it to work today. couldn't be happier with it! Although I've never had a rear rack before, don't quite know what to do with it, especially since the tension on the included cables is really tight. Any tips?

Thanks for all the videos! really helped a lot!

We are currently not shipping the full sized Tern Bikes, so its unlikely we'll do a feature on them, but we have some great videos posted on the Montague full sized folding bikes, worth checking out. Best- jack

Hi Vaughn, the Tern Link d8 will fit riders up to around 6ft 2 inches so you should be fine. The real determining factor is going to be your inseam rather than your height. Best- jack

I think you'd be alright, just be a little extra careful, don't take it over rough terrain very often, avoid potholes, anything that would put a little extra strain on the frame. You could also consider buying the Brompton bike which has a 300 max load, and which is, overall, is going to be a higher end folding bike than the D8. Best- jack

Thank you, I like it too, its simple and covers the basics. It's always hard to make something the pleases both, the gear-head and the soccer-mom. -Bert

We don't carry the full frame Tern Bikes, otherwise would be happy to post some videos. We ordered a few when they first came out but just didn't fall in love with the full size models. Best- jack
