Ultra-Stiff 3D Forged Handlepost for Tern Folding Bikes
The Tern Physis 3D T-Bar Handlepost is the stiffest folding bike handlepost on the market, delivering performance that eliminates the flex typically found in folding bike stems. 3D forged from a single piece of aluminum using advanced manufacturing technology available at only a handful of factories worldwide, this handlepost eliminates welds and optimizes material distribution for exceptional strength and stiffness. The result is a component that's 2.5 times stronger than the original benchmark in rigorous EN testing—transforming your Tern folding bike's handling and precision.
Available in lengths from 250mm to 350mm, the Physis 3D lets you customize your cockpit height for optimal comfort and performance. Shorter lengths create an aggressive, aerodynamic position for speed, while taller options provide upright comfort for touring or city riding. The handlepost is precision-machined to a tolerance of only 50 microns for tight fit without rattling, features igus® bearings for smooth operation, and includes rubber seals to protect headset bearings. The lever automatically locks in place when closed for secure, easy operation. Compatible with Tern's Andros and Syntace VRO 47 stems, plus Valo integrated lighting systems.
