Article 2026 Bosch Race motor vs 100Nm Gen 5

[Rob Rides EMTB]

We headed out to Riva del Garda in Italy for the Riva Bike Festival and got our hands on the new Bosch CXR motor— fitted to a pair of Mondraker Crafty bikes. This was our first chance to properly ride the new motor ourselves, and we took the opportunity to compare it side-by-side with the regular Gen 5 Performance Line CX motor running both the new and old software modes.

We have already lots of videos and others with lots of people (influenceres, testers, etc) testing diferent bikes with the upgrade.,
Why do u think is bosch olding back this release to the grand public? Does this make sense?

I’m also wondering about this. At first, they said the update would be available starting July 1st, but now they’re saying it won’t be until mid-July.

Bosch Gen 5 Update done and no option of 100nm in the USA? What am I doing wrong? Or did Bosch not give us the 100nm and only the 750wh update?
Anyone else seeing this?

I saw there it went live & ran the update, mine is the same (750w but still only 85Nm).

Thanks,
I Just found the Bosch YouTube post, they show here it’s available however it is not giving me the option to 100nm in the app.
