Italian enduro ebike specialist Thok has launched a stealthy mixed-wheel trail adventure called the Gram RC. The Gram RC is built around a stiff and lightweight full-his carbon frame and powered by his Shimano motor with a matching battery.
Gram RC’s full carbon enduro frames come in four sizes to accommodate riders between 5 and 6.5 feet (1.54 to 2 meters) tall. The company has gone all-out with carbon as well, discouraging the use of aluminum inserts and instead pressing the pads directly into the frame for added stiffness and reduced wear. Pulled polyethylene pedals.
The frame features a “Viper Head” top tube with a chunky tapered head tube and a specially designed FSA headset, plus a Thok-designed steering lock to prevent frame damage from excessive handlebar rotation. is provided. There are carbon support ribs between the seat tube and downtube for increased stiffness and pressure distribution on even the roughest trails. Cables are routed internally for clean lines, and there’s an adjustable Thok dropper seatpost with remote activation to keep the saddle out of the way on more technical sections.

This is paired with an easy-to-remove 630 Wh frame-integrated battery that’s safely stored behind a high-density TPE cover.
A color LCD display on the Renthal Fatbar carbon handlebar provides at-a-glance status checks and assist adjustments. Riders are also accommodated with a 12-speed SRAM GX Eagle derailleur protected from impact by a universal hanger.
