More details

eMTB mode and Extended Boost

The eMTB mode was conceived specifically for sporty use, giving you optimal control and intuitive handling, because you don’t have to switch between riding modes so often. With this mode you can easily handle technically difficult stretches and obstacles like roots and thick branches by well-judged pedal pressure and Extended Boost. In this way the Performance Line CX delivers even more riding enjoyment and a flow experience that sets a new standard.

ABS Trail

Ambitious trails, faster rides, better skills: ABS Trail is modified for the expectations of sporty riders on demanding routes and challenging terrain. The new and revolutionary ABS from Bosch eBike systems trumps doubts – it improves performance and increases riding enjoyment! You’re safely supported in demanding and sporty riding maneuvers. And if you want to take a more relaxed approach with your eMTV you can simply switch to ABS Allroad via the eBike Flow app or your Kiox 300.

Bosch eBike ABS is only available in the following countries: all countries of the European Union, United Kingdom, Switzerland and Norway.

 

Powering uphill

The maximum torque of 85 Nm has a noticeable effect on your riding behavior when you’re eMountan biking. The high-performance motor enables powerful acceleration at low cadence after tight turns and obstacles, and makes hill starts easier. For fast sprints, the motor also supports you at high cadence.

Maximum agility

The multi-sensor concept allows controlled and agile riding even on technically demanding trails. Combined with the innovative Bosch motor control, it delivers maximum dynamics and sensitivity.

Sporty and economical

Sporty riding on a trekking bike or eMTB. With the Performance Line CX Tour+ riding mode, the focus is always on riding enjoyment. Tour+ eliminates the need for manual switching between riding modes: since you pedal harder on flat stretches, the riding mode also saves power and extends your range. This provides for a natural riding sensation in every situation, even during extended rides.

Individual riding modes

You can fine-tune the Race, Cargo, Turbo, Auto, eMTB, Sport, Tour+, Tour and Eco riding modes to give you more support or to use less power.

Here's how it works

       

eBike Lock with the smart system

Activating the eBike Lock function via the eBike Flow app lets you use your smartphone as a digital key. Because motor support can only be activated with your smartphone and Bluetooth connection, your eBike holds no attraction for thieves.

New Even better protected with eBike Alarm

The eBike Alarm is the next step for even more security for your eBike. Made possible by the ConnectModule and in interaction with eBike Lock, it expands the locking of the drive unit with a comprehensive alarm function. When you switch off your eBike, eBike Alarm is automatically activated and deactivated when you switch it back on. This means your eBike is optimally protected at all times – without you having to do anything.

Find out more

The eBike Flow app connects you and your eBike – and your eBike to the digital world. You can use the app to control all functions of the smart system, which networks the drive unit, the battery and the control unit. It allows you to adapt the eBike to your needs, upgrade it and keep it up-to-date. You simply download new features and services. You can conveniently install updates for your eBike via Bluetooth. This keeps your eBike up-to-date and continuously upgraded with new features. This is how you can improve your riding experience.

More torque

Powerful: The maximum torque of 85 Nm has a noticeable effect on riding behavior. This makes it possible to accelerate faster, especially at low cadences, and starting off on steep terrain is made much easier. This gives you more power directly at your disposal, even in difficult gears.

Extended Boost

Impressive performance on the trail: Extended Boost is a unique function that helps you ride smoothly over roots, steps and stones, even when going uphill. With this function you can maneuver with greater ease and agility on technically challenging trails.

Perfect control

Ready for any challenge. The enhanced eMTB mode ensures better control on the trail, without having to switch riding modes. The motor reacts much more sensitively to your use of power, especially in low gears, and enables extremely smooth starting.

Sporty efficiency

Adopt a sporty riding style and get further as a result – the Tour+ mode makes it possible. The riding mode rewards your slightly higher power input with energy efficiency: if you pedal harder, the drive will give you correspondingly increased support. If things are going easily, you hardly need the support, saving power. This means the battery discharges more slowly. This will extend your ride – and your riding enjoyment.

Natural riding dynamics

Finely measured support: The powerful 32-bit processor ensures particularly fast processing of sensor signals. Power can be controlled more precisely, which offers you the optimum support in all riding situations.

Thermal stability

For highest loads: the drive unit has high efficiency and is thermally extremely stable, thanks to the modern electric motor with modern bar winding. This ensures high performance even under heavy load.

FAQs & More

You can update your motor at your bike dealer. Please contact your dealer regarding any costs.

You can combine the Tour+ mode with the following modes: Eco, eMTB, Turbo. You can not combine Tour+ with the Tour mode or with the Sport mode. 

Extended Boost is a new and innovative feature in eMTB mode. The unique dynamics make it easy to ride over obstacles by applying the right amount of pressure to the pedal. The pedals rarely, if ever, jam. If the front wheel is already on the step, slight pressure on the pedals is all it takes to give the decisive "kick" This takes pedal management to a whole new level.
