TK-01RR 2024

The Ducati TK-01RR 2024 is the top-of-range Bologna-badged enduro eMTB, built by THOK on a forged-and-CNC-machined 6061 T4/T6 aluminium chassis with serious moto pedigree. Headline numbers: 180 mm fork, 170 mm rear travel, the Shimano EP801 motor delivering 85 Nm of torque and a 600 W peak, a 630 Wh removable BT-E8036 battery, a 64.5 degree head angle, reach from 423 to 491 mm across four sizes, a hefty 26.38 kg claimed weight and £6,000 base price. The market verdict is that this is a Ducati-branded, premium-finished e-enduro with Öhlins suspension at both ends, aimed at riders who want the badge, the build quality and the high-end coil-air pairing rather than the lightest weight on offer.

Drive system and range. The Shimano EP801 is the well-regarded 2.7 kg 85 Nm full-power unit, programmable via E-Tube and offering up to 400% assistance with the latest firmware. The 630 Wh BT-E8036 is removable from the underside of the down tube, with a carbon-fibre battery cover that adds boutique finish and a small weight saving. Real-world range from a 630 Wh Shimano on a 26 kg full-power enduro is realistically 25 to 35 miles depending on assist mode and elevation gain, lower than 800 Wh rivals but supported by an external Shimano range extender if needed. There are no over-the-air firmware features on Shimano in the same way Bosch Flow or DJI Avinox offer, but the platform is mature and well supported by Shimano dealers.

Geometry and handling. The 64.5 degree head angle is exactly right for the 180/170 mm enduro brief. Reach progresses 423, 439, 464 and 491 mm across S to XL with a fixed 453 mm chainstay and wheelbase scaling 1212 to 1298 mm. The fixed-length rear-centre is on the long side, which adds straight-line stability and climbing grip at the cost of a slightly less playful feel for shorter riders. The MX wheel setup (29 front, 27.5 rear) keeps the rear-centre proportions balanced and adds tail-flick agility on tight enduro lines, which is a Ducati signature.

Build and value. Single base trim at £6,000 with 26.38 kg claimed. You get Öhlins RXF38 m.2 fork at 180 mm, Öhlins TTX rear shock, Shimano XT 12-speed 10-51T drivetrain, Shimano XT 4-piston brakes, Crankbrothers Synthesis aluminium wheels (29 x 31 mm front, 27.5 x 35 mm rear) and Pirelli Scorpion Enduro S tyres. Standout is the Öhlins suspension at both ends, which on most rival bikes appears only at £8,000-plus trims. Questionable side is the aluminium-only frame at the price (carbon rivals at £6,000 are increasingly common), the comparatively modest 630 Wh battery, and the 26.38 kg weight, which is heavier than most equivalent Bosch CX or DJI-powered competitors with bigger batteries.

Verdict. The TK-01RR is in current production and is the most premium Ducati-branded e-enduro from the THOK collaboration. There are no curated emtbforums.com community quotes for this specific year at the time of writing, so the assessment leans on the gold spec sheet and press coverage. Buy it if you want the Ducati badge, factory Öhlins suspension at both ends, Shimano XT throughout and a clean, premium-finished aluminium enduro chassis that you cannot mistake for anything else on the trailhead. Look elsewhere if you want a sub-23 kg weight, an 800 Wh battery, a carbon frame at this price or a deep dealer network outside of Ducati specialists. As of mid-2026 the TK-01RR remains listed on the Ducati e-bike pages, with regional availability through Ducati dealers and selected partner workshops. Sizing S to XL is generous, and the 423 mm reach in S means smaller riders are properly catered for, while the 491 mm XL caters for tall enduro racers without going into XXL territory. The platform's known quirks are the heavier-than-class weight and the smaller 630 Wh pack, both of which are inherent to the design choice rather than execution flaws.
