First Impressions - The NEW Bosch Performance Line CX Race Edition

Recently we have had the opportunity to test the all-new Performance CX Race Edition motor from Bosch on a Voima. Featuring a little more kick and a little less weight, our first impressions of the motor and the brand new Race Mode function are seriously good! Check out Leo's thoughts on it all on his bike.

Pretty cool when the CEO of your company is out there giving his opinion of a major component of his bicycle! Nice insights into the performance and feel of the updated Bosch motor. Wish I could test ride a Pole bike in the US!

Id really like to review one of your bikes here in the states, I have a gen 4 trek rail 9.9 T type and a head to head would be sick.

I love what you did with that bike. Looking to purchase one soon.

[archietamayo]

when will the race motor be available as an option

Id love to see you experiment with the Effigear/Valeo "Cyclee" motor/gearbox!!!

Hey Leo. That bike looks like it fits you perfectly. The rise on the bars great in proportion to the position on the bike. The balance point for riding wheelies looks amazing and your body position on the bike looks very neutral and comfortable. It looks exactly how I like my bike to feel. Could you tell me how tall you are and what size frame your riding and also the rise on those bars? I’m 47 years old and have been riding bikes my whole life but have never been on an ebike. Yours will be my first. No other ebike even interests me.

What size axs dropper you have on what size frame Leo?

I'm a bigger 100kg 190cm rider so I ride lower assistant settings on big rides to get enough range to climb 1300m. Ofc this depends on the battery capacity so with this bump up in power will they bump up the battery Ah but keep it the same dimensions and weight?

Leo, have you tried running a Rohloff Speedhub gearbox hub on Voima? They seem to be pairable with Bosh motors/batteries.

I foresee a lot of snapped chains also if beginners use it and in the wrong gear

My Bafang M600 with a throttle can do this 😒

[siriosstar]

That much overrun is not natural . it acts almost like a throttle for a few seconds . if you are n race mode on a steep trail and an obstacle comes and you need to slow down . this sounds dangerous to me .
i prefer the third gen. cx . it's tunable with a simple external box tuner and the over run is minimal .
my favorite motor is the Sachs rs that comes on my Nox trail bike . 112 nm
at low cadence . it destroys the bosch on steep hills .
