Bosch eMTB Technology
 | Bosch Performance Line CX 2021The Bosch Performance Line CX offers a unique eMTB experience: Compact, lightweight and with more power, it combines high-quality materials, an extremely powerful drive and high-end sensors. This brings eMountain biking on the trail to a whole new level. From model year 2021 with a torque of up to 85 Nm, new features in the motor control and a further development of eMTB mode - all as a software update. For a thrilling riding experience: more natural, intuitive and powerful and an absolute benchmark in its class. |
What is new with the Bosch Performance Line CX engine in model year 2021?
Performance upgrade and new features
A riding experience that sets the benchmark: From model year 2021, the Performance Line CX ensures even more riding enjoyment on the trail - with further developed software and a maximum torque of 85 Nm. The increased torque ensures greater performance, supporting you with even more power, especially in low cadences. In eMTB and Turbo mode, this leads to significantly faster acceleration and makes hill starts much easier. Thanks to a broader cadence range, unpredictable riding situations can be mastered even more effectively - for example in the case of late gear shifting or accelerating out of tight corners. Riding remains smooth and free from jolts, even when out of the saddle or in Turbo mode.
Next-level eMTB mode
The progressive riding mode for every occasion: Advanced eMTB mode ensures eMountain bikers are well-prepared for whatever riding situation the trail may have in store. New sensor and motor control functions give eMountain bikers a much wider range of dynamic and natural support. Riders continue to benefit from the proven technology of eMTB mode: Depending on pedal pressure, progressive motor support adapts perfectly to the riding situation. The improved adjustment of eMTB mode ensures optimum traction control in all gears and enables organic handling (AKA 'power on demand'). Start-up behaviour is much finer and more sensitive - especially in low gears. Due to the increased torque, the drive unit supports an even wider cadence range.
Extended Boost
Extended Boost is the unrivalled function for negotiating exposed roots, steps and stones on the trail with ease, even uphill. The eMTB can be maneuvered with much greater agility and ease on technical sections. The unique dynamism means that obstacles can be overcome with ease by applying the right amount of pressure to the pedal. The pedals rarely, if ever, jam. The new, innovative function in eMTB mode can be controlled to optimum effect in all riding situations. If the front wheel is already on the step, a slight pedal pressure is all it takes to give the decisive "kick". This takes pedal management to a whole new level.

Für den Preis ist das Bike nicht zu schlagen: bester Motor am Markt, Fox Factory 38 (!!) + Coil, Top Bremse XT + Top Schlatung. Geile Optik, Top Verarbeitung! Danke Focus. Die perfekte eierlegende-Wollmilchsau für Papa's, die mal mit nem Thule Chariot unterwegs sind und es am nächsten Tag mal im Bikepark krachen lassen wollen !! =)
zum Bike kann ich noch nicht sehr viel sagen da ich noch nicht viel gefahren bin außer das es einen sehr stabilen Eindruck macht und von der Preis Leistung sehr gut ist. Zu Bike-Discount es ist mein Lieblingsladen und erste Wahl wenn ich Teile brauch und ich brauch viel bei mehreren Bikes und drei Fahrern in der Familie . Das Focus Sam ist fertig montiert in einer etwas Größeren Schachtel geliefert worden nicht so wie ich dachte mehr oder weniger in der Originalschachtel und in Einzelteilen. Super Service , schnelle Lieferung meist bester Preis , riesige Auswahl jeder Zeit wieder ,Danke ans Team
Tob E-MTB! Ich fahre noch nicht sehr lange MTB und die Komponenten sind bei mir deswegen (noch) Perlen vor die Säue, aber ich hatte das Fahrrad zu einem noch günstigeren Preis als dem Aktuellen (5.499€) ergattert und musste bei dem Deal zuschlagen. Die Geometrie ist so, wie ich sie mir für ein Enduro wünsche und die 38er Fox gibt mit ihrer Steifigkeit extrem Sicherheit, wenn man mit Geschwindigkeit über Steine und Wurzeln fährt. Mit seinen über 26 kg (mit Pedalen) ist das Bike zwar ein echter Panzer und sicher nicht die erste Wahl für Trails mit engen Kehren und es geht auch sicher nicht so leicht in die Luft, wie ein analoges Bike. Der Motor hat aber kein Problem damit und ich komme damit technische, steile Trails hoch, bei denen ich mich dann selber frage, wie das ging. Auch die Reichweite geht völlig in Ordnung, ich schaffe über 30 km mit 1000 Höhenmetern, von denen gut die Hälfte loser, schlammiger Waldboden oder Forstwege sind und fahre bergauf nur im Turbo-Modus und bergab im eMTB-Modus. Winziges Manko, für mich als Fan von Details: Das Fahrrad wurde nicht mit angegebenen Raceface Getta Griffen geliefert, aber Bike-Discount hat mir dafür einen Gutschein ausgestellt, Danke für die Kulanz!
