On the 4th of May, the new Bosch Flow app version will start rolling out in your Play or App store. It will take a few days before reaching all users. If you're impatient, uninstalling and reinstalling the app might do the trick. The latest app version allows you to download the 120 Nm firmware...

Even though Bosch has a history of increasing power-output on their motors, I was surprised to hear about the SX update. After all, it’s been a while since the motor was launched. We have ridden an updated Bosch SX (60 Nm) for a few weeks now. We’re not riding the final software version. But...

The direct-to-customer brand YT was among the first players in the emtb field. The original Decoy was well priced, and it had modern frame geometry that still holds up today. The new YT Decoy is very different to the old model. The most noticeable differences are the change from Shimano to Bosch...

I’m sure most of you know by now that the Bosch Performance CX (gen5/BDU38) will become more powerful. This was announced a couple of months ago, but there is more to the story. All Bosch Performance motors starting with the Smart System (gen4/BDU37) will be improved with the upcoming software...

Today brings the new Pivot Shuttle SL AM. As you might recall, Pivot already has a Shuttle SL in their lineup. But this new one is different. Sure, it’s still a 29er bike, except for the XS frame that has mullet wheels. The new SL AM is a burlier version in every way, but it’s still a...

Free Power Bump in the Flow App I’ve just been out at the Riva Bike Festival, where Bosch dropped a proper update for their Performance Line CXmotor. This isn't just a minor tweak, it's a meaningful upgrade that adds both power and functionality, and crucially, you don't need any new hardware...

The Bosch Performance CX motor gets significantly more power and the new EMTB+ assist mode for model year 2026. But when does model year -26 start? The motor firmware update will be available from July 2025. If you already own a gen5 (BDU38) Bosch CX powered bike, all you have to do is connect...

A 180mmm, Burly Enduro Bike The 2026 Nicolai S18 Swift is a gravity-focused, long-travel enduro eMTB built around the latest Bosch Performance Line CX motor system, now delivering 100Nm of torque and 750W of peak power. With a 7020-T6 aluminium frame, 180mm of travel front and rear, and full...

eBikes aren’t coming. They’re already here. In 2023, over 5.1 million of them were sold across Europe, with traditional bikes only just ahead at 6.6 million. In Germany, ebikes actually overtook analogue bikes for the first time, grabbing more than half the market. This isn’t a trend anymore...

Santa Cruz has released the 2025 Bullit — a 170mm travel, Bosch-powered eMTB built around a new four bar suspension layout. It’s a move away from the brand’s long-standing VPP platform and follows the direction set by the Vala last year. But while the layout may be shared, the Bullit is clearly...
