Upgraded TP4 and TP4-S models feature similar hero, yet boast distinct elements
When E-Bikes Collide: THOK TP4 & TP4-S Tear into All-Mountain and Enduro Territory
The charts are shifting at THOK E-Bikes with the introduction of their latest additions, the TP4 and TP4-S. Hot on the heels of the fully-sold-out TP4-R and TP4 Limited Edition, these bad boys are ready to dominate the all-mountain scene.
What's Familiar, What's Fresh
Sporting the identical geometry with the TP4-R, along with the same construction approach and technical orientation, these newcomers slot snugly within THOK's roster, sandwiched between MIG and the two enduro pieces in the collection. The TP4 features an aluminum frame, while the more luxurious GRAM model boasts a full carbon configuration.
Outfitted with a UD Carbon Frame, these e-bikes offer a geometry adjustment thanks to the Flipchip, boasting 160mm of suspension travel in front and 150mm out back. Pumping up the power is none other than the Bosch Performance Line CX motor, cranking out up to 100 Nm of torque and maxing out at 750W with a new software update. The integrated, modular, and removable 800Wh battery compatible with 600Wh or 400Wh versions slides neatly onto the bike, too.
Pushing Performance & Aggression
The TP4-S pushes the envelope for those hankering after top-shelf performance and a more aggressive riding style. Employing a FOX 36 Float Performance fork with 160mm of suspension travel, a FOX Float X shock absorber, a Shimano XT drivetrain, and Magura MT5 4-piston brakes, the S-labeled beast is designed for those who want to scorch the trails and leave their peers in the dust.
While the TP4 caters to a slightly tamer audience, it's no slouch. Saddled with a FOX 36 Float Rhythm fork and FOX Float Rhythm shock absorber, a Shimano SLX drivetrain, and Shimano Deore 4-piston brakes, the simplified setup emphasizes control and enduring performance over blazing bravado.
Want a little extra juice? You can strap on the Bosch Powermore 250 Wh Range Extender to add range, or opt for a lighter board by swapping out the built-in battery for a separate 4kg savings—perfect for shorter excursions or those who prefer a more agile experience.
Hardcore & Lightweight Construction
The TP4 and TP4-S frames were born from unidirectional carbon fibers (UD), enabling optimized material distribution. Highly stressed areas can receive additional reinforcement, while thinner fibers are used where needed. The result? A risk-taking, lightweight, and durable frame that handles even the most intense all-mountain scrambles without batting an eye.
Like its predecessors, the TP4-R, the TP4 and TP4-S models come dressed for adaptability, meeting the demands of various riding styles.
Two Talks for the Price of One
Thanks to the Flipchip, riders can fine-tune the head angle, saddle height, and bottom bracket height for two configurations. The "High" setup with a 79° seat angle and a 64.5° head angle is perfect for all-mountain excursions, while the "Low" setup flattens the angles a half a degree for a more enduro-focused ride. Given its adaptability and the 160mm travel fork, the TP4 and TP4-S models do double duty, straddling the line between All-Mountain and Enduro.
The TP4 and TP4-S are available in four sizes (S, M, L, and XL) and a choice of two colors: Forge Red and Dragon Green. With prices set at €5,990 for the TP4 and €6,990 for the TP4-S (both including VAT), the TP4-R remains the frontrunner at €7,590. Embrace the wild side of all-mountain and enduro with THOK's latest releases, and let the good times roll.
