Thok MIG

[Albez]

Thok, that's northern for f*ck innit. ?
Can't make my mind up if I like it or not but I would definitely have the black over the red and at least you can fit a bottle cage with the battery on the underside.

They have group meets in Italy called ‘thockers’ ? but they get the translation. All good fun ?

Took a ride out to Leeds urban bike park at the weekend. The place has been open a while but they have only just finished phase 2 which is far better than the first phase. If anyone local has already been and was disappointed by the first phase I can assure you it’s much improved! They’ve built a nice progressive red loop which is mainly rollers and a few tables / hips. Similar style to Parkwood and Lady Cannings but I’d say a better place for a session than they are. There’s no fire road climbs, all the climbing is ‘uphill flow’ so perfect for us ebikers! Pic below is next to the quarry section which has black features (drops off, step ups)

Nice bike , I see the Ducati version here somwhere too , that looked pretty good Not sure about the claims of lower c of g with the battery, But it’s different and looks ok ,and if a bottle cage can fit that’s always a bonus . certainly looks better than most of the fat tubed awkward looking integrated designs out there .
I see the new Scott bikes have the shimano motor , so I guess they have been able to make some geometry changes and update bikes .

Awesome! We’ve just had a group outing there so maybe next time we go you can join us ? there’s a thread on here for it in the ride out section.

Yeah it’s just good to see manufacturers playing around with the integration and geometry I think. Emtb is still pretty new and there’s lots of evolution to come yet ?

I was on this weekends Rideout at Leeds bike park with myskovon and we did a bike swap for a run , I’ve got to say this bike rides sweet , I felt comfortable and straight at home on it from the get go. Also it’s the first time I’ve rode a bike with this motor and I was well impressed especially hitting over 15mph no drag or treacle effect..
I must have been comfortable with this bike because I even did the black run drop off and step up jump and it handled it with ease.
Over all I was very impressed with this bike and you certainly wouldn’t be disappointed if you purchased one , big thumbs up to thok on a great bike.
And cheers myskovon for letting me have a blast on it ??

 

[myskovon]

@Krisj 5 mins into riding it and sends it off the biggest feature there! What a dude ?

Got no excuses now for not getting some proper air time like you did on it! ?

 

[Kiwi73]

I just took a Mig-R for a test ride today. So impressed with how it rides. Like @Krisj said; you hop on it and it just feels right and comfortable.
Definitely top of my list for my new emtb so far.
I love the look of it.
I love how it handles.
Mostly I love how I don't have worry about climbing hills

they had their short travel version on for an introductory price of 2700 euros. I was going to buy one but snoozed and loozed as the price has now gone up.
bugger!!

Was it that low to begin with! Wow! Thought it was still a decent price on the current intro offer that still stands at under £3k

 

[ccrdave]

now the canyon neuron ON is just a touch cheaper and to be honest, it has better spec and 130mm travel as opposed to 120mm.
I think 130mm is the sweet spot for what I want but I do like the Thok very much and I could have upped the suspension on that I guess

 

[myskovon]

Yeah, depends how quick you want it too as Thok will be there almost immediately and Canyon, well....not so quick...the rear hub had a warranty issue on mine and I messaged them on Sunday about it. 8.20am on Monday it was posted from Italy and I’ve had a notification it’s been delivered today! Can’t beat that service ?

 

[myskovon]

Spengle have recently hooked me up with a pair of their carbon wheels, I’ll get a review on as soon as I’ve given them a proper bit of mileage ?

 

[Rob Rides EMTB]

I really like this bike. Hope to see more around next year.

Wow, awesome look with those wheels! What size and weight? Tire width?

They came with 2.35 nobby nics but I’m swapping them for something bigger and I’ve never rated the NN if I’m honest either. Thinking magic Mary or Maxxis Shorty up front, not decided on rear yet. I’ve not weighed them yet as they came with full trimmings, next time I take cassette and discs off I’ll see what they weigh because I can’t find a published weight. They are quite open about them not being the lightest carbon wheels but do claim to be up there with the strongest

 

[ccrdave]

Cool looking wheels but i would worry about branches getting trapped in between the spoke and the frame

 

[Kiwi73]

The website says they are around 1750g.

They are a very polarizing look.
It just takes my old brain while to adjust to not seeing spokes

 

[R120]

EMTB and Spengles - damn that bike is going to make the haters hate!

 

[myskovon]

? double marmite

 

[MattyB]

EMTB and Spengles - damn that bike is going to make the haters hate!

Agreed - personally I love this bike, but not those try hard, hugely expensive wheels...

 

[Albez]

I kinda like the look of the wheels, they seem to go with the bike somehow. Maybe it's cos they got the red decals on them but yeah I'm in the love marmite camp.

 

[Kiwi73]

Added some Red Azonic pedals and Azonic grips.
Amazing machine so far. Loving the handling this bike offers.

 

[Mad Mark]

I like the black cover and the original wheels ?
The bike is a stunner.
I'm afraid I think the wheels look absolutely ?
Each to there own.

Nice bike Alex, been looking at these myself. What size is yours and what weight is it?
Cheers, Mike

Thanks Mike! Mines a Large, and I’m 5’11”. I think the one Rob currently has for a review is an XL.
22kg I think but don’t quote me on that.

 

[R120]

I was just looking on their website, and the 29'r 120mm travel MIG-ST looks incredible value for an EMTB Trail bike, and for a lot of people would probably be just the ticket.

MIG-ST

 

[T.A.]

Yes

Nice bike Alex, been looking at these myself. What size is yours and what weight is it?
Cheers, Mike

Hey Mike, I also have a large and I am at 1,78m. Weight I can't confirm since I do have some custom parts on it.
