THOK made its name in electric mountain biking. The Piedmont brand is switching registers with the Grow, a gravel bike without a motor shown at the International Bike Festival 2026 in Misano, according to bicilive.it. “Four characters, one spirit”, sums up the launch page.
The THOK Grow, a gravel bike with race geometry
The spec sheet published by THOK gives the same frame across the whole range: “UD carbon monocoque frame, internal cable routing, race geometry”. The bike ships as standard with “45 mm wide Schwalbe G-One R” tyres, notes the German magazine bike-x, and velomotion reports 50 mm of clearance. Neither the frame weight nor the complete bike weight appears on the brand’s page.
Three build levels, four liveries
“GROW is structured across three levels: Pro, Comp and First Ride. At the top are Circus and Darkstar; Comp features Cactus and Pixels; the same two characters in a streamlined configuration for First Ride, to enter the GROW world without compromising THOK DNA”, the brand explains. The Pro level gets a “SRAM Force AXS with GX T-Type rear derailleur” drivetrain; the First Ride, a mechanical “SRAM Apex XPLR” groupset paired with a “SRAM Eagle 11-50” cassette. As for wheels, bicilive.it reports Zipp XPLR S carbon on the Pro and DT Swiss G1800 on the First Ride.
Prices and timeline
The prices are given in euros directly by THOK: €2,990 for the First Ride, €3,990 for the Comp and €4,990 for the Pro. The timeline shown on the launch page splits the year into three phases: “SHOW TIME” in September 2026, when “The range makes its live debut at the International Bike Festival”; “ARCADE TIME” from September 2026 to January 2027, which refers to the THOK Arcade game and not to the opening of orders; then “RIDE TIME” in February 2027, when “GROW is finally available”. Note that the German specialist press, velomotion as well as bike-x, reports for its part a market launch from March 2027; where the two differ, it is the manufacturer’s timeline that is used here.
