• Bosch Performance Update 2.0 Bosch have dropped a fresh update for the Performance Line CX and CX-R motors, and it’s a big one for riders who want more punch on the trails.

• Bike Flow app.
• Nice and easy.
• Once you’ve downloaded Performance Update 2.0, you can crank the motor up to a huge 120 Nm of torque, with up to 600% support and 750 watts of peak power.
• Bosch have also tweaked things so the motor can hold that power for longer when the riding conditions allow.
• The 600% support figure only kicks in between 0 and 15 km/h, so it’s all about helping you power up steep climbs and tricky sections.
• The maximum assisted speed stays the same at 25 km/h.
• As with previous Bosch updates, you can still customise the motor settings in the app to suit your riding style.
• Whether you want maximum power for steep tech climbs or a more natural feel on longer rides, you can dial it in how you like it.
• Performance Update 2.0 is available for all CX Gen 5 and CX-R Gen 5 motors.
• It also brings Extended Boost (Bosch Overrun) and support for the new drivetrain tensioner system, which helps reduce lag when you get back on the pedals.
• Bosch are also adding more features and connectivity options, including Garmin integration and new power supply options.
• One thing worth keeping in mind — more power means more stress on drivetrain components, so increased wear is expected over time.
