Has anyone updated their Wild with gen 4 motor? If have the Gen4 CX-r and after the update where were no power updates even though I've read that Gen4 would also get the update gains. Thoughts?
Bosch update on 2024 Wild w/ CX-r Gen4 motor.....no power gain?

In general Gen4 CX only gets an assistance update to 600% on customisable modes ( Turbo , EMTB+, EMTB and Tour +). Use the Flow app to look up your motor description in the components section and then refer to the Bosch desription of the update for each of the Gen4 CX motors. For example my motor is described in Flow as BDU 3741.
There is no change to NM for Gen 4, so still at 85nm. The assistance increase does make a noticeable difference however.

Its not the 600W that has changed! It is the assistance level +5 now should give you 600% instead of 400%.
So its not visible changes on the app? (I'm a simple creature)

Exaxtly that, same with my Gen 4, but with +5 assistance in Turbo or emrb+ you should notice a difference though it only good to 15kmh so you may notice quite a sharp drop off at that speed, I guess Bosch only wants us to have it for steep uphill sections.
It was definitely better in the short, punchy climbs.
Looks like Orbea may have some influence on the update because on my Whyte Bosch cx bikes there is no maximum speed other than the UK legal max assisted speed of 25kph......albeit it translates that to 15mph in imperial rather than the correct approximate conversion of 15.54 mph.
My bikes went from 340% assist to a max of 600 ( with ability to customise 4 modes). I chose tour+ , emtb, emtb+ and turbo) . I only chose 600w on emtb+ and turbo and tour+ and emtb I chose 400%. In general I found 600% unnecessary except for long non technical but steep climbs. I use emtb most of the time even on steep technical climbs and going from 340 to 400 has led to no loss of control and just a little easier of rider power input....and negligible impact on battery consumption.
