Bosch KIOX retrofit

[Paul Mac]

Any tips on which Garmin for MTB ?

If you want proper navigation get the Edge 830, if only want ride recorded and more basic info the 130 is great and tiny.

If anyone knows of any trek dealers that have any let us know!

I have a knock block Kiox mount in the garage but haven’t bought the Kiox kit yet. Arrived in less than a week when ordered from Wheelbase. Maybe worth giving them a shout?

A bit off topic but kinda related to those who like details... Those of you who wear heart rate monitors, have you noticed what the drop on heart rate is on the same climb going from an analogue to e- mtb? I reckon instead of totally maxing out for 30 mins - 1hr I'm 'in the zone' for a couple of hours.

Funnily enough, just been looking at my Garmin Fenix data as I use a HRM. I had my first ride on Friday at Swinley Forest on the Rail and compared it my previous ride on the Sunday on my SC Hightower non-emtb.
I actually worked harder overall on the emtb, which I was a little surprised about.

This is the data from the emtb:

Thats quite interesting. I would have thought it would be lower overall. I wonder if the higher percentage of time in the max/red zone for the EMTB was due to more oh-shit moments on the downhills? Used more calories too so the pie at the end is justified.

I think you’re right - I did a higher number of high speed downhill runs which must have pushed my heart rate up. I think I almost worked as hard as my non-emtb, but travelled further overall, and climbed a higher distance.

Anyone find the illusive KnockBlock Kiox Top Tube mount?
Like trying to find a needle in a haystack whilst blindfolded.
Can’t find them in stock anywhere ??‍

Go into your local Trek dealer and ask them to order your Trek Part No. W591512 - Will take a while to get it in, but its the only way to get one.

Thanks.
Called Trek HQ, due in stock on the 3rd August so put my order in with the local Trek dealer.
Fingers crossed it’ll arrive soon as I have the Kiox kit waiting to be fitted!!

Can anyone put up any pictures of the size and type of the connector that plugs into the motor?

Thank you! Just ordered one from Pedal Power - really appreciate you letting us know as I’m not sure how long it would have taken to order this ???

Looks so much better than the purion. Much less likely to get damaged as well, I always thought the purion was really exposed on the bars.

 

[Hornet]

The Kiox is better all round it does so much more!

 

[Quinterly]

Anyone have a North American (ideally even Canadian) online source for the retrofit kit? The best online source I've come across is bike24, but wondering if anyone's come across something closer/better.

Does the Kiox have the update firmware option? So you don't have to go to a Bosch dealer to update your Bosch CX motor firmware?

Display has nothing to do with the motor software, dealer update for the motor is the only option ... Kiox software/firmware can be updated through the phone app.

Where can I get the kiox mount for the top tube in the USA? Can’t seem to find it anywhere. Also looking for the kiox kit as well.

I bought the upgrade kit and it comes with the pre wired head stock mount, I’m not sure how this can be changed to a top tube mount. The USA kit may be different.

Yours already had a mount on it? Post Picts if you don’t mind

Has anyone got a picture of where this plugs into the motor?

 

[PetrD]

How did you solve the cable routing through the frame?

 

[Pigin]

I have already put a post up about this, search for me and the word “flipped” and you should find it

Just take to 9ld one out and replace it with the new one, really simple.

 

[Pigin]

To route the cable fasten a fishing line (or similar) to the end of the Purion cable and then when you fasten the Kiox cable to it just pull it back through.

Yes the Kiox does come with a mount, but this mounts on the stem cap, the mount can be changed easy, one allen screw and the trek top tube mount screwed in its place.
