The powerhouse among the drive units

BDU450 CX
Functions and details
More torque
Powerful: the torque of up to 85 Nm has a noticeable effect on riding behaviour. This accelerates faster, particularly at low cadences, and makes uphill starts much easier. You therefore have more power available in difficult gears.
Natural riding dynamism
Fine-tuned support: the powerful 32-bit processor enables sensor signals to be processed at high speeds and for precise power control. The power can be controlled more precisely, offering you optimal support in all riding situations.
Perfect control
Ready for every challenge: The advanced eMTB mode ensures even better control on the trail, without having to switch riding modes. The motor responds much more sensitively to the rider's effort, especially in low gears, enabling an extremely sensitive start.
Sporting efficiency
Choosing a sporty riding style can take you further with Tour+ mode. The riding mode rewards your slightly higher effort with energy efficiency: if you pedal harder, the drive offers you correspondingly greater support. If, on the other hand, the going is fairly easy, you'll receive less assistance. This means that the battery is discharged more slowly. This will extend your ride, as well as your riding fun.
