I'm just trying to interpret what Bosch have published about the new update.

In relation to previous I think it was 340% that you could use the slider on assistance to bring it up to 400%.

Update is live in SoCal. I was on the phone with Bosch, and we were discussing the delayed rollout, when the update became available. Headed out to ride NOW.
 
I’m like 50% positive my wife has an app called flow to track her periods 😂

Eh whatever. Glad you guys seem to be liking the update. I wouldn’t stress little stuff yet. I’ll bet in a week or two they’ll have another update to fix bugs. Avinox has the same crap going on. Multiple updates have already been put out to fix issues
Likewise, I surprised when cycle Tracking inn Apple health wasn’t based on pedalling!
 
Hi there,
I said some of the data.
The complete list is
  • Riding speed
  • Rider’s own effort
  • Cadence
  • Total distance
  • Standstill detection
  • Time
  • Light status
  • Ambient brightness
  • Light reserve mode
  • Status of eBike Lock
  • Charge level of the ebike battery
  • Charger connected
  • Bosch Diagnostic Tool connected
You can take a look at

Nevertheless, just the Riders own effort is really new, unless you also have a Garmin power metter.
That may well be what Bosch is making avaialble to transmit. Out of this list from my own observation currently Garmin has implemented from their end: Power (Rider's effort), Cadence, Total distance, Light status, Charge level. I can definetely confirm Garmin has not implemented Speed (it's based on either Garmin GPS reading or external Speed sensor if you have one installed).
 
So you are saying prior the update when eMTB+ was 400% max and i left it at 0 i was getting 300% instead?
340% to be exact. All in all Bosch scale for support % is confusing to say the least. If 0 is 340 and +5 is 600 then:

600-340=260 (difference between 0 and +5)
260/5 (5 steps from 0 to 5) = 52% in a single increment.

That would indicate that a single increment is 52% which would make +2 = 444%

And that is just for EMTB+. If you take other modes eg Tour+/EMTB then +5 is still 400% which makes the single increment 12%

So it's either this or the entire scale is not linear not to mention that if you go down the scale you can't really be sure if goes down to 0% or something else.

So after three un/reinstalls of the app, my update went through.
However, it appears to be missing the “extended boost” slider option?

Is this just me/mine or are others only partially updating?

This is on a SC in the USA FWIW.
 
I had the update this morning available, did install it and I get the warning about drivetrain wear. But I still don't see 120 Newton meters in the race mode. I don't actually intend on utilizing it unless I'm climbing at the bike park. But I would like to experiment with it.
I got an email from Yeti this morning with a link to the update. It says it completed the software update. As I scroll through the settings, I find that at 100% , the power appears to have increased form 600w to 750w, however the max torque setting ends at 100nm. No visible torque setting to 120nm? Anyone else experience this?
 
Figured it out. You have to go to connect.garmin.com and pull up your Edge device, then for that device, you need to sign up for their beta software. Within an hour I was sent a new update for my device. Once the new update was installed, the Garmin Edge showed up in the Flow app when I “added” a device.

As of now, I can see battery percentage remaining and smart range. The boost level and range are not functioning yet. The battery percentage is the main thing I was after anyways, so victory.

Also, the Edge MTB model is really nice. I’ve used an 830 and 1030. I like everything about this, including the lack of touch screen once you get used to the functions of each button.
 
I got the update installed on my bullit. The one thing I can't figure out yet is where to change or add overrun to modes other than emtb+. Anyone have any tips or info on that?

So your EMTB+ has the boost box slider? Lucky you! That’s my default ride mode.

None of my Vala’s updated modes, including EMTB+, offers boost adjustment. Bummer because overrun is one of my favorite features.

No I don't see a slider in emtb+ to adjust over-run. It just has it by default. I'd love to add over-run to tour and eco as I too really like it for technical climbing, but obviously I don't always want to climb with that much power on tap. I would kill for a tour mode with over-run honestly.

Yes, I see the same on my Flow app.

Tour+ also has built in over run just shorter/milder. Over run adjust is coming mid-2026. It was never announced as part of Performance Update 2.0. Confusion may be coming from that when you watch YT videos from Bosch Press Camp YT'ers already had beta SW installed which included over run adjustment

Updated app on Monday morning and what I assume is the first part of the update, put the bike away. Just put the bike on charge for tommorow and got the slider update. No deleting of app required. I still haven't turned the power up from last years update tho.

How's the battery life on it? I'm on 840 and despite amazing screen on 850, battery life is to short for my liking. I'd always have to be 100% charged before a day long trip

Just received the new flow app via play store the AM. I have a SC Vala C 90 and had the same issue you got (new Flow app 1.35.6, battery updated, motor software etc... all new update but no 120 slider). So I uninstall the flow app and reinstalled. I logged back in and the option "Performance 2.0" showed on my main screen. "Download and install". I did it and lo and behold, 120 nm option appeared. Hope this help BTW I'm in the USA.

I believe that the "Boost" function is coming at a later date this year. Anyone else know different?
 
as i said, I competed the software update. In reading the fine print, it now says that the 120 mn increase won't be accessible for 24 hrs following the firmware update on the Yeti? WTF?

Your assuming its linear and it doesn't have to be... the only thing its needs is to provide more support the higher the number for it to make sense.

Hence a comment from the CEO made about feedback from testers/consumers... wanted "clearer" parameters and what the settings actually mean vs. arbitrary settings.
 
Reading comprehension is not a strong suite of many...

Many features are coming LATER... you only get more traction control (turbo mode now in -2 vs. only eMTB+ in 0 and -2), 120 Nm power, 600% assist, trick counter and maybe some Garmin stuff.

Configurable extended boost, drive tensioner and 12A charger all coming later...

The 120 Nm update requires TWO separate updates and take up to 24 hrs after the initial update is installed.
 
Compared to what, the Levo 4 experience
Compared to any roll out of anything ever...

It takes 3 days to be available from the date, then you have to delete and reinstall the app a bunch of times for it to find the updates

That’s just folks being impatient… I installed Monday evening and Tuesday evening the power update was available. No installing/reinstalling/pairing/clearing cache or drama.

Not saying it couldn’t be better, but come on…
