Description

Think of the HSD Cache Box as the glove compartment of your HSD. Bolted under the seatstay, it offers just enough space for some basic items you might need while touring or running errands around town—and it might just be the perfect place to store an Abus® chain to go with the HSD frame lock.

 

Discreet design that blends into the Tern HSD frame to carry your bike essentials

Holds up to 2 kg, with plenty of space for a chain lock, inner tubes, a hand pump, etc.

Stiff, frame-bolted design prevents it from swinging while riding—and from opportunistic theft

Water-resistant fabric keeps dirt away from your belongings

Inner mesh pocket keeps smaller items in place

In the fall of 2010, we established a team of people who knew a thing or two about how to make bikes. We saw an opportunity to form a new company and walk the hard path of starting anew. Once committed, the first step was finding the right name and identity for our fledgling brand. There were about a dozen of us, brainstorming poolside, in the backyard of a Las Vegas rental after Interbike. Our Art Director swung us back to a particularly inspiring quote of Yvon Chouinard, the founder of Patagonia, from the film 180° South: “The hardest thing in the world is to simplify your life. It’s so easy to make it complex. The solution, may be, for a lot of the world’s problems is to turn around and take a forward step. You can’t just keep trying to make a flawed system work.” The idea of turning around and moving forward to face the challenges head-on was compelling. It meant retracing some steps, but we would know where to expect the bumps in the road. The discussion kept coming back to the word, turn and all of its connotations, but the word itself lacked personality. With the beer and creativity flowing, a tangential discussion led us to names of migratory animals. After all, we wanted to change how people get around, so that category seemed a fitting source of inspiration. Serendipitously, an internet search found the world-champion of migratory animals to be the Arctic Tern. Being a homophone was already a huge plus, but the nature of the bird is what helped solidify the choice. The Artic Tern has innate characteristics that embody the company we envision.
