"Folding bikes are usually praised more for convenience than for performance. The Tern Joe D24 is a powerful city ride that just happens to fold in 5 seconds flat. Strength starts at the frame with patented Double Truss technology that makes the Joe D24 more resistant to torsional forces; there's also a four-bar linkage joint that keeps the frame securely in place. The NVO Axis stem also gives rides some flexibility, allowing them to adjust the bike to their ideal height and reach combination. They don't even need to pack a tool to do so - the patented end-plus T-tool with 4-, 5-, and 6-mm hex keys in one handy unit, is at their fingertips, in the handlebar grip. The final difference between the Tern Joe D24 and other bikes is where the rubber meets the road. Wide Schwalbe Big Appel tires offer safe and swift travels over potholes, grates, train tracks, and other city road elements. Integrated puncture protection and reflective sidewalls make a smooth ride even safer."
