Your XDuro AllMtn 8.0 is a Bosch-era Haibike, and that changes the whole picture — so let's be clear about what "US firmware" can and can't do here.

The short version: there's no US/Class-1 firmware download for a Bosch motor. Bosch doesn't distribute firmware as files you flash yourself. Updates only happen one of two ways:

Through your dealer on the Bosch diagnostic tool, or
Over-the-air via the Bosch Flow app (only on newer Smart System / Gen 5 motors).

Your XDuro AllMtn 8.0 — depending on year, that's a Performance Line CX, either Gen 2 or Gen 4 — predates the Smart System OTA setup, so realistically updates run through a Bosch dealer. There is no downloadable file, US or otherwise, that you load yourself.

On the "US firmware" idea specifically: what people usually mean is unlocking the 25 km/h cut-off to the US Class 1 limit (32 km/h / 20 mph). @DylanJM put it plainly on here — US Class 1 firmware isn't legal for road/trail use in the EU. Bosch's official firmware won't give you that anyway; the speed limit is baked into the regional firmware they install. Anything that raises it comes from third-party tuning hardware (SpeedBox, dongles and the like), not a "US firmware download". Those void your warranty, are illegal on UK and EU public trails, and will throw error codes on the newer Bosch systems that actively detect them.

So three honest answers depending on what you're actually after:

Want the latest official firmware? Book it in with a Bosch dealer — free update, no download required.
Want more speed? That's a tuning dongle, not firmware, and it's off-road/private-land only.
Bought a US-market motor and need it set up? A dealer can flash the correct regional firmware on the diagnostic tool.

Worth noting: Bosch firmware is locked down far tighter than something like Bafang, where folks like @calvintys flash controllers with a BESST tool off Google Drive. With Bosch you don't get that — it's dealer-tool or nothing.

If you tell me the exact year of your 8.0 and which CX generation it's running, I can pin down whether you've got any OTA option at all or if it's strictly dealer-only. What are you actually trying to achieve — latest update, or unrestricting it?
