New Bosch Motor Update! | First Ride On The 2021 Performance Line CX Software Update

[@embn]

Where are you watching from? Will you be riding your E Bike today? Let us know 👇

[@Kaarzah]

Sunny Torbay, not today got a new gravel bike delivered yesterday so that's my steed for today :)

[@kevinshort3943]

No, because yet again I hurt from falling off :( Plus it's stinking hot..............

From Iceland and if I get my way then YES, I will be riding today like yesterday and the day before :-)

[@jimbo4203]

Great day to ride my Stance or Emonda here in Tennessee. Been looking into a new e bike soon

[@Mtnmanmike62]

I"m two weeks into my new bike that came with a CX4 motor. i had no idea the of what EMTB mode was. I came upon a rock pile on my second ride, and the bike seemed to say, "Let's do this!". I have since looked this up. Now I understand what they're up to. It is amazing! Now, I look forward to difficult sections. this thing just motors over them. Great Job Bosch!

[@rcilluminati26]

Extended Boost is a game changer! I love it!! Not sure if this vid did the best job showing how it works. The best way I can describe it is if you give it a hard 1/4 pedal stroke you get the same power and distance under power of a full 360 degree pedal stroke, possibly even longer if you're in a taller gear. This means that in chunky rock sections where you will pedal strike like mad, you can simply ratchet the pedals a 1/4 turn at at time and power through the whole section. Same for step ups or big logs, just give the pedals a kick and let the motor do the work. This really feels like a big step unleashing the full potential of ebike performance. This is a very clever way to get the benefit of a throttle blip without actually having a throttle. Great job Bosch, I can only imagine what the next few years of R&D will bring.

[@alexis1959]

Well done Steve and well done Bosch - shows yet again who's the boss of the e-bike motors. Add the solid warranty and bullet-proof reliability I am SO SO glad I went for Trek and Bosch!

[@jamesj97370]

This needs be a download via your laptop at home, shouldn’t have to take my bike all the way back to my dealer to update it.

[@lazyemtbnut9906]

Wow and the Oscar go to Steve Jones for his scene where he pretends to talk on the phone

[@jagchatha5958]

That gave me a good chuckle 😆

[@stevejones7956]

Aww thanks! haha ....well spotted..the call did actually happen though!

[@derekharper6031]

@@stevejones7956 So do all Bosch owners have a direct call to assistance whilst out on the trails :) hahaha

[@tsalesto]

That is mega news for all Bosch gen 4 users. The motor was pretty good from the start and now it seems to rank amongst the very best. Kudos to Bosch engineers.

[@Roelander]

Really impressed by Bosch precision engineering. Excellent film Mr Jones, keep it up.

[@TCK71]

Really excellent video, well presented and some top riding there. As a non eMTB rider, you’re tackling riding I could only dream about!

[@brakesforsnakes757]

Now those are some amazing handling skills.

[@CurvedSlightly]

Steve: "Hey Claus, how's it going?" Claus: "FFS What do you want now, Steve?"

[@jutenjul463]

I really wish Bosch would make 'special case updates' that bike owners could download and update their motor or kiox etc. software. There are people that have these bikes that live in far remote areas or countries and are unfortunatly not able to go to their original dealers. Greets from Lebanon Beirut!

[@AdamGoodwin]

So glad I went with Bosch over the Shimano steps system, picked up a Trek Rail 7 a fortnite ago. Unfortunately our local bikes shops have a 6 week waiting list for servicing.

[@swishyfeet]

6 weeks here too. I guess we book now?

[@mfren6253]

Got the Trek Rail 9.7 2020 gen4 last December. Over 2000 km and no motor problems at all. I’m glad i went with the Bosch motor and I cant wait for the update.

[@AdamGoodwin]

After my girlfriend rode my Trek, she wanted an eBike as well. We ordered a Cube access with the same Bosch motor, which we collected yesterday. Asked the bike shop to check for the new update over the phone after watching this video, they said nothing had come through. When we arrived in the shop an hour later, update was available! Plugged it in, around 5 minutes to install, if you ask them really nicely, get them to set the region as Canada, you'll grain an extra 5mph because they have a higher restriction speed (20mph). I've had to prebook my first service for end of August, they'll install the update then.

[@justabirdwithaword]

Really makes sense for a bike shop to sell Bosch motors. Every upgrade at least, the customer has to visit the shop for the free upgrade, and who knows while they wait for the upgrade to happen they might just choose to have something services or fixed. Maybe buy an accessory in the shop.

[@Snipeonz]

@Tasunke what if there isn't another one? Not everyone has 500 authorized dealers nearby like you. Instead of telling people they just have to 'man up', use your brain a little next time you post a comment.

[@neilbower123]

Great vi. I;'ve got my 1st MY TB on order & it's got this motor on it, so can't wait to try it out soon

[@Kaarzah]

Biggest annoyance with bosch motors, you can't do the upgrades at home, you have no choice but to fork out money to get your local approved LBS to do it for you, even though in this day and age its as simple as plugging a usb cable in.

[@1barnet1]

Yes i agree this to the fullest. Also you need to be a Bosch service point in order to get access to their software and cables. Which is straight up impossible for a consumer and even annoying for small businesses.

[@MrUnl0rd]

The Bosch eBike connect app can upgrade the firmware via Bluetooth

[@tribester07]

my LBS does it for free. No hassle at all. Did a software update last week, no appointment, 5 minutes, done.

[@Kaarzah]

@@1barnet1 Yep, had I known when I got my bike that I would be restricted in this way, I would have gone for a shimano steps or other branded motor instead that does allow the user to upgrade its software. Hell Tesla do their upgrades automatically over the air.

[@elyhim]

There are tons of classes w/software by Bosch. Just pay for the software and class - it isn't a lot.

[@harleyboyd9998]

WOW Better & Better Gooder & Gooder

[@josepheustaquio5544]

Awesome review and some great technical explanations

[@nickrinkel1423]

emtb mode is basically shifting the levels of power depending on the degree of angle. which internally there is a gyroscope that monitors yap,pitch,roll and then tells the controller to put it in whatever power is needed based upon the pitch. i have the same technology in my CYC X1 PRO.

[@jonm7272]

Nothing to do with angle, it's just torque sensing, the harder you push the pedals the higher the boost assist. Emtb just jumps higher boost per pedal effort. Jumps from tour to turbo even on the flat if you suddenly pedal harder.

[@retunedas3390]

Of course a great motor with an amazing technology but also very impressive riding skills!

[@mauricemotoman3305]

This man is popping wheelies like it's piss easy

[@markgrainger5727]

A great motor just got greaterer 🤪

[@jackweta]

was hoping to hear about experience above cut off

[@sexyroseize]

Yes me too

[@davidrichards2234]

1500 says its seamless after 25kph

[@TheAntoine191]

There's no reason it's any different. Motor is off above cutoff and the new CX has very low drag when off. It's what it is.

[@chapchap5944]

@@TheAntoine191 There is a reason why it is absolutely different. The gen4 doesn't have the transmission the old one had. There for the new one is absolutely seemless. Which i can also confirm from riding it in my Ghost Hybride ASX.

[@mallias2683]

@@chapchap5944 I would not call it seamless but definitely much improved over gen. 3 motors....

[@petershanle9675]

Very smart move by Bosch

[@embn]

Steve loves it! It will be available to the public sometime this summer 👍

[@petershanle9675]

Will update work on 2017 bosch cx motor.

[@jlt7438]

Really enjoyed watching this. Now I wonder if Shimano steps will offer the same update on their motors. Great video.

[@db-gp5fp]

Dan from Pennsylvania . Your forest looks a lot like ours. Nicely done vid.

[@elyhim]

I will be interested to see the changes to the cadence. Most people don't get the high cadence cheat code on emtb's.

[@bobmarley6161]

Love Bosch

[@mikewormsman]

Is this a software update for the 2020 bosch motor or a new 2021 motor?

[@mr_berns80]

it is still the version 4 (actual motor) and just a software update

[@dreadnort1]

Would also like to know on my 2019 Bosch Perf CX motor

[@dreadnort1]

Well looks like only for MY20 motors onwards

[@embn]

This update will be on all 2021 motors and existing 2020/Gen 4 motors will be compatible. The update will be out sometime this summer. 👍

[@mikewormsman]

With there being more torque and power i hope it dosent effect battery range too much.have only just managed to master monster whellies also hoping this power shift to lower cadence dosent effect power delivery to much im 90% in touring mode .how do you guys find the differences to a standard gen 4 and updated gen 4 in touring mode ?

[@CV-dl3hj]

Wow! 2020 went by fast.

[@ericm8811]

Hey EMBN! Steve's doesn't seem to understand the extended boost feature! I believe it means in technical terrain when you can't continuously rotate the cranks due to a trail obstacle that your pedal will strike the new software will keep the power on when you stop pedaling momentarily! The example in the vid showed continuous crank rotation as Steve rode over the obstacle! Please check with Bosch and clarify this please! Ride ride ride!

[@warwickchuck1]

Australia..waiting arrival any day of my Focus Jarifa2 with the Bosch. I’ve purchased separately the Kiox. Hoping it will work out.

[@islandaerial3414]

I've got a Gen 3 w/a glitch. I discovered that I can peddle past the 30 km/hr choke when in EMTB mode!

[@CharlieGanProductions]

had same it is software get an update and will be gone

[@RocketMagnetUK]

Is there any potential impact on battery health due to what seems like a requirement to suddenly draw a large spike of current? Never thought about it but do the battery packs have any capacitors to protect the battery from this?

[@pawelodz8050]

This black Hibike is epic

[@wolkuz]

Do I need take bike to the dealer for update? Done Kiox update via app already. What about +10 NM update?

[@FatblokeonaFatbike]

Steve, what did you mean 'Bosch say the pedals rarely if ever jam' at 3.33?

[@zedpoutine]

I think it means when the motor doesn't give any support. He mentions this when talking about the extended boost feature where one is going very slowly - no pedal rotation(?) - over a difficult obstacle. You then apply pressure to the pedals and the motor "kicks in". If the motor did not kick in, then this would feel as if the pedal "jammed" since it would be almost impossible for the rider to move the bike- or rotate the pedals - on pure leg power.

[@derekharper6031]

@@zedpoutine It will be interesting to see how this works in reality. Having ridden ebikes for a while now, the one thing i notice is that a stalled ebike, sucumbs to gravity more than a lighter non ebike.. i.e if an object or incline is causing you to stall, calling on the motor to give you a turbo shove without the need to pedal sounds like a great idea at first and sure may at times work, however being clipped in when this occurs might be an unwelcome shove :)

[@Twongo]

Las Vegas, Nevada. Rode this morning before it hit 110 degrees. The lower cadence sensitivity is something I'm really missing with my Yamaha. I am not a high cadence rider. Never have been. BTW, there is a certain playfulness in your demonstrations that says as much about the ride as your words do. The technology is certainly improving.

[@haroldsimpson7260]

New Bosh,I have enough to think about without thinking about what the bike is thinking about if you get my drift. Going for a road ride into New Quay Wales today. Capt Harry

[@Emtbtoday]

The new 2024 update is now available in uk from Monday past adding auto, sport and emtb(165 short crank) apparently its pushed the 15.5 up to 19mph though so i think this will be over written as soon as bosch realise its clocked to high for UK! Ha you can only choose 4 to run but can toggle throughout the others removing and adding them auto and emtb short crank modes are now present on the kiox together! The US got this update last year I've been waiting for ours Rob at embt relised the info yesterday on his forum! The US guys are replacing Turbo with the auto mode now saying its the only mode thats needed its spot on perfect so really curious to test this! Im just this second away to update my smart system and go for a blast!

[@MrWillAdams]

Is it possible to do this update yourself at home or does it need to be take to a local dealer? Love the channel and vids by the way!

[@stuc6725]

After the year that never was, where has the TQ motor gone on the Haibike platform?

[@marcusoutdoors4999]

That’s the first Haibike I really liked the look of. Seems like a useful firmware upgrade to an already useful motor. That said, I’m ever more happy with my 2020 Levo Comp and the Brose motor. Ultimately though this must be putting a lot of pressure on Shimano who are being left behind... I expect something special soon from them.

[@AndreaBiancucci]

Awesome! Thanks for the video, and....what about Kiox update? Hope more training features will finally be implemented.....do you ha e any news in that or plan a video?

[@jcheco59]

And upgrade on the awful app please

[@martinhayes5087]

Hopefully they're going to update that GOD AWFUL E Bike connect app, it's absolutely garbage 😂

[@yj8471]

How much Bosch paid you Steve to plug the extra 10nm ? Did you ask them if they have sorted the bearing and water ingress problems ?

[@steelgtr]

If the bike shows EMTB mode then the software is updated with boost?

[@trosencrantz]

Any idea when we, here in the USA can get Haibike's new bike like this, with the Bosch motors? Is the Flyon a totally different motor? Thanks!

[@scottwalker9271]

does the update effect battery life in a positive or negative way?

[@qozmiq]

Lets not be naive, this entire network of channels is nothing but an affiliate network for whatever product your schilling.

[@Graphics_tv]

What is the difference between Bosch performance line. And performance line CX?

[@1968Stratocaster]

I have a gen 4 2020 motor so im happy I will be able to get the software update this summer. However, what if I want to upgrade the actual motor in my trek rail 9.8 to the new 2021 motor with more torque? is that possible? Or even desired?

[@BrentDunstan]

Nice bike choice, I have the same. If you update the software you will effectively have a 2021 motor. This is only a software/firmware change, not a hardware change.

[@1968Stratocaster]

@@BrentDunstan oh, so the software change gives my 2020 motor 10 more watts of torque? from 75 to 85?

[@BrentDunstan]

@@1968Stratocaster 10 more newton metres if you're an engineering nerd like me. Torque = twisting moment which multiplied by RPM gives power so technically yes but the motor will still be limited to 250 watts average power as required by law. From the reviews I've read so far it sounds like it's not that noticeable on the trail but the other changes to how the EMTB and power overrun work are great.

[@1968Stratocaster]

@@BrentDunstan Thanks! sounds like the 2021 physical motor is exactly the same and its just a software upgrade. this wasn't clear to me after watching the video.

[@macoveialex6823]

Is Bosch working on a new motor for 2022? Is that why CUBE is not making bikes anymore? All out of stack.

What about tuning protection? Can it be tuned to 35kph? Stupid 25kph limiter is driving me nuts.

[@kcmitch77]

Got a bike a few months ago. Is there a way I can tell if I have the update

[@Mike.Muc.3.1415]

Will the 2020 models receive the software upgrade this year? Three days ago my CUBE shop didn't mention the upgrade. Are there really no hardware differences? They are not really getting an other 10 Nm just by an software upgrade, are they? I bought my bike, a CUBE Reaction Race 500 2020 three days ago, this is kind of a mixed blessing. It is one of the BOSCH low points, that you can not upgrade your software at home. Not only is it necessary to bring your bike to your dealer, you must pay for an upgrade every time. Nevertheless I have been riding it all over Munich and about 60 km in two days isn't too bad for somebody who returns to cycling after more than 30 years. I'm enjoying my bike a lot. The BOSCH Gen 4 motor is fantastic. I can ride my bike even with a severely broken foot without major pain even on medium distances. My E-montain bike allows me to get back into one of my favorite sports. It makes me happy. I'm already sure, that buying the Reaction was a great decision.

[@der_hahnenkamm]

No Hardware needed! Your Dealer can make the Softwareupdate arround summer!

[@Snipeonz]

@@der_hahnenkamm ...and only your dealer can make that update. That's exactly the crap that makes me not wanna support the E-MTB industry at all. Most dealers charge you just to upgrade the firmware. And what about people who live a long way away from any dealers?

[@Adamoo8]

Everyone focusing on how annoying it is to have to get the bike shop to do the upgrade. But how awesome is it that the bike you already own is getting more power and features added after you bought it. When was the last time a car company did that (other than tesla). 😃

[@Snipeonz]

@@Adamoo8 Having to go to a dealer to do a simple firmware update is just part of the problem. The real problem here is how irreparable and unserviceable these motor companies have made their products. Open up the motor yourself? Warranty voided. Circuit board fried? Buy a new motor. And what if your motor is from years ago and has been discontinued? Depending on what bike it's on, you're basically forced to buy a new bike. While this business model is perfect for their profit margins, it's subpar for the environment and consumer. While this update is great in the sense that it makes you feel that your motor is still relevant, its doesn't solve any of the problems mentioned above.

[@Mike.Muc.3.1415]

@@Adamoo8 You are not wrong. ;-) As a techie it is just a little frustrating. The one thing I miss about my bike is better connectivity. The sensors could offer a fantastic foundation for an entire ecosystem of electronic gadgets and apps. For example, it would be extremely easy to use the sensors measuring how much energy the rider puts into his pedals... Sadly Bosch doesn't seem willing to open the interface standards. I get this for safety related motor features, like the output and the top speed, but other brands seem to be much more open, I'm looking at you Specialized... ;-) Software upgrades, based on signed code shouldn't be a problem at all.

[@woodpecker6452]

Is there an extended boost mode or is this integrated into the Emtb mode

[@jimji2774]

Boost mode is the next higher level of assist you can choose where it is on all the time. Just buying my bike now so don't have enough experience to compare too much but another rider said he just stays in boost all the time here in Colorado mountains.

[@TravelWithLinAndBilly]

Are these updates going to work on my 2019 Bosch cx

[@dannybrizzi9394]

They only mentioned the GEN 4 2020 and 2021. The 2019 GEN 3 is a completely different motor and if I had to guess it probably does not have the sensors that are required to effectively implement the new boost feature.

[@derekharper6031]

@@intrudercruz I would say almost with certainty that all manufacturers will provide all manner of upgrades over the next few years. Question is do you want to wait for what might be available in a few years or have fun today. Pretty much every form of new(ish) device goes thru various upgrades, new releases etc. Its a fun time to be riding I say.

[@TheAlexdx7]

So does the bafang ultra actually have 160bn of torque? Seems to leave everyone else in the dust

[@davenorman8251]

It certainly does I have ridden a volition bike built in Sydney Australia fitted with a 60 volt battery that comes custom programmed and it was capable of 66kmh on the flat and had drive train damaging torque. So much so they only offer a 3month drive train warranty on such a beast if you order one..level 2 pas is equivalent to boost on a shimano equipped bike. The 25kmh limit only applies to bikes ridden on road in Australia..Off road go for it but risk the damage...chains are cheap.

How does the customer make the update? Must go to a workshop?

I got yamaha in one site and bosch on another, got no probs going to a workshop where I have the bosch bike but where I live most of the time I have yamaha and have no reliable workshop nearby. If updating to keep it optimal is the way to go, they should give the consumer the opportunity of buying the software and update our bikes directly from the brand web and be independent from the workshops.
