- Bosch announced Performance Upgrade 2.0 software update for its Performance Line CX and CX‑R drive units, raising torque to 120 Nm and support up to 600 %.
- Performance Upgrade 2.0 delivers “intelligent” power by detecting steep climbs, switchbacks, or rooty trail sections and supplying peak torque only when needed.
- Riders can fine‑tune torque and support via the eBike Flow app, and the system automatically dials back after the demanding segment to preserve range and reduce wear.
- Extended Boost now offers a customizable short burst of assistance after the rider stops pedaling, helping clear obstacles.
- Drivetrain Tensioner reduces pedal lag for more immediate response.
- Trick Check logs jumps, wheelies, and other trail maneuvers.
- 12 A fast charger under development can recharge batteries roughly three times faster than current chargers.
Why it matters: Riders benefit from higher torque and customizable support, while the situational delivery mitigates battery drain and component wear, making the boost more practical for off‑road use. Bosch gains a stronger foothold in the high‑performance e‑bike segment, challenging its traditionally conservative reputation.
