Raymon Ridok with a Panasonic motor: A genuine e-mountain bike from 3,299 euros?

Conclusion from the BIKE editorial team

The Raymon Ridok is emblematic of price trends in the e-MTB market. Solid bikes no longer have to cost a fortune. Although the entry-level model, priced at 3,299 euros, isn’t designed for tough off-road use, it’s still a far better option than the majority of 4,000-euro e-MTBs from a few years ago. A large battery, a powerful motor, a solid frame and decent spec – that’s all many e-bikers need.

There is hardly any range as diverse as Raymon’s e-bike range. At least as far as the variety of drive systems is concerned. The Avinox Power motor, the tried-and-tested Bosch CX, the lightweight Bosch SX, the compact Polini motor – and, more recently, drive systems from Panasonic too. The latter are specifically designed to offer particularly competitive prices. And at the same time, there are technical innovations. For example, the entry-level Ridok e-full-suspension bike features more power and new controls.

In addition to the brand’s sporty e-MTBs, such as the super-light Raymon Tarok or the The versatile Durok with a large replacement battery, the Ridok expands the e-MTB range at the lower end – both in terms of price and intended use. The Ridok is more of an everyday and all-road bike than a sporty trail specialist.

Panasonic GXM MG with 105 Nm

Depending on the model, either the GXM 100 or GXM 105 MG variants are used. These two variants differ not only in torque – 100 and 105 Newton metres respectively – but also in weight. The more powerful MG version is also lighter, weighing in at 2.6 kilos. The manufacturer states that the base model, the GXM, weighs 2.8 kilos. According to Raymon, both motors are set to receive a power upgrade. The spec sheet will then list 105 and 115 newton-metres respectively. The manufacturer has already announced this at Eurobike 2026 in Frankfurt.

A new feature is the Remote 801 control unit. It combines a display and a remote lever located directly on the left-hand grip for operating the system. The battery can be removed quickly and easily using a traditional flip-open mechanism. The capacity is 800 watt-hours; the entry-level model has a capacity of 720.

Prices and trim levels

The new Ridok with a Panasonic motor is set to be available in three trim levels. It starts with the Comp model at 3,299 euros. This is a price range in which there are hardly any full-suspension e-MTBs from specialist brands. The suspension is by SR Suntour, the brakes are by Tektro and the bike is fitted with a Shimano Cues groupset – with just nine gears. A dropper seatpost is fitted as standard.

The Ridok Pro, priced at 3,699 euros, comes with the larger 800-mAh battery as standard. This is, of course, also fitted to the top-of-the-range Ridok Ultra model, priced at 4,499 euros. This model features a Fox suspension system with a 34 Rhythm fork, along with an 11-speed XT groupset from Shimano and Magura Louise Elite brakes. Both the Comp and Pro models are also available as fully equipped ‘Street’ versions.
