E-MTB: Following its successful launch last fall, Thok is now introducing two new models of the TP4 all-mountain e-bike. These come with the latest 100 Nm update to the Bosch CX (Gen 5).
Thok TP4: The new models
Due to high demand for the successful TP4-R and TP4 Limited models, Thok is now offering two new models. The TP4 is a more affordable entry-level option and is available for €5.990. With the TP4-S, Thok follows the same path as the "old" TP4-R: the components are exactly the same. The new TP4-S costs €6.990, while the TP4-R costs €7.590. The price difference is due to the country of manufacture: the frames of the TP4 and TP4-S are produced in Taiwan, while the TP4-R is produced in Italy. Otherwise, the frames are identical. Thok's CEO, Stefano Migliorini, explains this move as follows:
The TP4-R Made in Italy model has experienced greater than expected demand, so much so that the entire production capacity for 2025 is already sold out. It is currently possible to pre-order the TP4-R model for 2026 or purchase a TP4-S model with the same components. The TP4-S is available immediately and is offered at a lower price. Of course, we continue to offer the Made in Italy option with the TP4-R, but can currently only do so for a limited number of bikes. To serve the market, we have expanded our portfolio with the TP4-S and TP4.
As with the first models, the new TP4 and TP4-S models utilize modern, unidirectionally laid carbon fibers. The manufacturing technology and know-how from Italy are thus also incorporated into the new frames from Asia. We were able to test the TP4-R, which, as mentioned, is identical in construction to the TP4-S, last fall. The test results can therefore be applied to the new TP4-S: Click here for the test . The only difference: The new model already features the latest Bosch update with 100 Nm of torque. More on that in a moment. Both the TP4-S and the TP4 are available in the new colors Forge Red and Dragon Green .
engine and battery
Both new models come with the new Bosch CX (Gen 5) motor and feature the latest update to 100 Nm of torque. Included in the package are the new eMTB+ mode and the ability to customize the new modes using the eBike Flow app. We were able to test the new TP4-S as part of the Thok Tribe project. Our conclusion: The Bosch update complements and improves the excellent uphill performance we observed in our test last fall , crowning this e-bike the undisputed climbing king!

Built-in components
In terms of equipment, Thok relies on affordable, reliable components for the TP4. A Shimano Deore brake system and large 203 mm discs ensure reliable deceleration. For the chassis, Thok relies on solid FOX suspension elements: The 36 Float Rhythm suspension fork with 160 mm travel and the Float Rhythm shock with THOK-specific tuning offer balanced performance that is more than sufficient for most riders. In terms of gearing, Thok relies on a mix of Shimano SLX 12-speed rear derailleur combined with a Deore cassette and shift lever. The in-house variable seat post with up to 200 mm travel (sizes L/XL), together with other in-house components such as handlebars, stem, saddle, and wheels, offers well-thought-out and functional equipment. All of this results in a harmonious overall package that covers everyday suitability and trail performance equally.
Thok – by bikers for bikers
As mentioned at the beginning, we could test the new TP4-S again at the annual Thok Tribe. Thok places great value on customer proximity – accordingly, the event hosts various rides with customers, and in the evenings there are plenty of reasons to celebrate. This year's destination was Malè in Trentino – which, incidentally, is also where the UCI World Cup takes place. This friendly, small event is usually attended by around 300 to 400 people and offers the opportunity to tour with the Thok team and even with the boss and former downhill pro Stefano himself. So, if you're looking for an authentic, small manufacturer, you're sure to find what you're looking for at Thok. The focus on Made in Europe certainly contributes to this.
