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.

Availability at e-FRAMER

The Performance Upgrade 2.0 will be available from May 4, 2026 for selected e-FRAMER models – including Pro, Sport, Cruise, Travel and Tour.

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.

Due to the large number of orders in recent weeks, the first models and sizes are already out of stock and will not be available again until 2027.

The well-known eFRMAER test days are taking place again this year. We will also be visiting trade fairs throughout Switzerland and are sure to be in your area.

e-FRAMER is about making things easier.

Our claim is a system that works in the background – so that you as a rider can concentrate on the essentials: ride, arrive, enjoy.

That’s exactly why we chose Bosch.

Not because it’s the most well-known motor, but because it works reliably, is widely supported, and takes decisions away from the rider—today and in the future. Because the system offers many more setting and customization options. For example, with the Flow App, also for you as a rider.

And because we want to offer one of the best price-performance promises in the market, there can be no compromises when it comes to the motor.

A strong overall package can only be created if every part meets this requirement.
