You decide for yourself how much power you want.
Bosch is turning the wheel - and doing it properly. With the Performance Upgrade 2.0, the smart system is getting the biggest update in its history to date. More torque, more support, more control. In short: more of everything that really counts on the trail.
Short & sweet: What’s inside
- Up to 120 Nm torque for CX Gen 5 & CX-R
- Up to 600 % support – when you need it
- Drivetrain Tensioner: No more idle travel when starting up
- Extended Boost adjustable via app
- Trick Check: Your ride becomes measurable
120 Nm: When everything suddenly becomes easier
It’s been discussed for a long time, but now it’s clear: Bosch is following suit. With the upgrade, you can bring your bike up to 120 Nm torque and 600 % support. That means
- Noticeably more thrust from a standing start
- Controlled power at exactly the right moment
- Better traction in technical passages
And don’t worry: the power doesn’t come as continuous fire. The system delivers it intelligently and according to the situation – exactly when you need it.
Your power. Multiplied.
Up to 600 % support means nothing other than: Your own performance is massively boosted. But not blindly, but tailored to your riding style, situation and mode.
You can make fine adjustments using the Flow app:
- More support for steep climbs
- less for maximum efficiency
- Everything individually per driving mode
So the driving experience remains natural – only much stronger.
No more idling: Drivetrain Tensioner
Do you know that moment when you kick – and nothing happens at first?
This is exactly where the new Drivetrain Tensioner comes in. A software solution that pretensions the drive and eliminates idle travel.
The result:
- Direct frictional connection
- More precise handling
- More control in technical situations
Sounds unimpressive. But it rides like a completely new bike.
Extended Boost: Now tailored to you
The familiar boost when driving over obstacles is now even smarter. Use the new slider in the app to set how long the boost lasts.
Short for quick reactions.
Long for large steps.
A small feature with a big impact on your flow.
Trick Check: Because driving can also be fun
Bosch thinks ahead – and introduces a feature that you wouldn’t have expected with Trick Check:
- recognizes jumps, wheelies, manuals & co.
- Measures altitude, distance and duration
- Save your best performances
In short: Your ride becomes measurable. And a little more playful.

Conclusion
With the Performance Upgrade 2.0, Bosch is not simply delivering more power – but a well thought-out overall package of power, control and individualization.
Or to put it another way:
What is an upgrade for others is real progress here.
