The small and light Bosch Performance SX is rated at 55 Nm of torque. It’s obviously been designed to be less powerful than the Performance CX. The SX is made for the mild and lightweight embs, often referred to as Super Light emtbs. Still, Bosch claims it has a peak power output of 600 W...
Hi guys,
So as the title says I've started to feel lack of assistance - without powerloss - near speed limit in the last 6 days. My bike has ~5500km in it. I found a post in a facebook group where OP was having fairly similar issue with his Orbea Wild 2024, he thought the foam pad at the bottom...
Hi, everyone I have a question I got an error 550 already taken to a dealer. Bosch said I need an new motor. But the bike works completely normal. But the screen (Bosch kiosk) won’t charge and ones is died you can’t use the bike. Does any body have a solutions. Because i am not going to €600 for...
I have the Bosch performance cx rim magnet system on my Canyon mountain bike.
I am sometimes using the walk mode on really steep uphill portions, impossible for me to climb it otherwise 🥴.
The walk mode “S”…
It is not consistent at all, once too slow, another time accelerates , too much power...
We’ve tested and ridden both motors several times before. But we decided to do a new comparison of these motors as they’ve changed quite a bit since they were launched.
Changes to the Bosch Performance CX
Our first ride on the Bosch Performance CX gen 4 happened well into 2019. This nice and...
Hi all, is there any owner of latest Canyon Neuron:ON CF who tried to remove battery? As I understand it's integrated into frame but I wonder how complicated it is. Is needed to remove motor? I live in a place where my garage can get minus celsius during winter so I keep batteries at home during...
The new Alpine Trail E2 has been announced and Marin have gone with Bosch on this one.
Looks like great specs for a decent price. Will be interested to hear how it compares to the Rail and Sam2. Awesome that it comes with cush core too!

Finally, Canyon is out with their first mid-assist, lightweight emtb, the Canyon Neuron:ONfly CF. I expected Canyon to introduce a completely new superlight model with a 150 mm fork. But that’s not what we’re getting. Check out the bike in this video before reading on.
The “fly”
Canyon hasn’t...
Dune, that’s a cool name. And just like the movie, the Mondraker Dune is out in it’s second iteration. The first Mondraker Dune was an enduro pedalbike released in 2009. Mondraker already have a long travel emtb, the Level. But they brought back the old name for the lightweight, mid-assist...
The Bosch PowerPack 800 has been out in various online stores for weeks, and now the official Bosch press release finally reached us. The new Bosch Powerpack 800 is the old Powerpack 725, only with new cells. Good news, you might say, especially if you ride a cargobike with external batteries...
The lightweight Superior iXF was introduced a while ago, but it didn’t materialize. Not until now. We were lucky enough to ride a pre-production version of what will eventually be the iXF 9.7. Why were we so excited about this bike, you ask? It’s the motor.
Bosch Performance SX 55 Nm motor...
Finally, we're getting more bikes with the great Bosch Performance SX lightweight motor. Let me start with the name of the new bike. The entry-level version is looking very interesting, and it’s called the “Cube AMS Hybrid ONE44 C:68X SLX 400X 29”.
Cube always had long and complicated names...
I've been riding a couple of bikes with the Bosch CX motor and once I get over 32km they feel like hitting a wall. I've briefly ridden the Giant (Trance & Reign 2023 models), Shimano EP6 and 8 (not EP801) motors and don't recall as much resistance over the speed assistance limit but then I...
There’s been much talk about the Canyon Strive:ON CFR that was launched in May this year. It ended up taking months for Canyon to ship a demo bike to Norway, so I was left wondering; what was so great about this bike? Watch the video or keep on reading below.
So many Canyon emtbs
Did Canyon...
Hi there. I haven't seen much on the Commencal Meta Power SX Bosch ebike. Was wondering if anyone has one or has tried one and has any thoughts on it? Thanks!
The Orbea Wild caught a lot of attention when it was updated for 2023, mainly because the top-of-the line model was a sub 21 kg bike. That’s very light for a full fat emtb. We’re not testing the most expensive carbon version though. We’re sort of testing the opposite model, the heavier Orbea...
We've ridden mid-travel bikes before that were very similar to the more common 160mm travel bikes. Comparable weight, similar geometry, same wheels. And we've wondered; why? What's the upside of going mid-travel if you get the same bike, only less capable?
Then there's the cheap mid-travel...
Hi, last 4 weeks im trying to figure out why my bike makes creaking noises (i would say its from crank).
First it started i tried all the bolts and the crank arm bolt was loose. Because i didnt know the values i just made it tight (i would assume max 14NM) and well it didnt help.
Now as i am...
Someone will probably kill me, because this is a “repost” of my post that i made yesterday and no one has answered. So i hope this time someone helps. :D
Hi, i still have a problem with creaking crank arm?! Well my bike was creaking a lot and i have checked bolts on motor and they seem fine...
