The new Bosch Performance SX motor promotes a sporty riding style and provides disproportionate support at a high cadence. In sprint mode, the nearly silent drive achieves a support of 280% of your own power. Muscle power and e-motor work for each other. You get the support exactly when you need it. At 1.98 kg, the motor is very light and compact, yet it delivers the same power as the significantly heavier Bosch Performance CX with 600 watts. The Q-factor is 178 mm, and the pedaling feel is very natural. This remains the case even when you ride faster than 25 km/h. Pedal resistance is hardly noticeable. Just like motor noises are practically inaudible.

With the one-piece down tube, the frame is light yet highly stable. The fully integrated and minimalist battery mount not only further reduces weight but also minimizes noise while riding. The active four-bar rear suspension with Horstlink and about 130mm of travel ensures confident handling when things get really rough. Up front, a Rock Shox SID Select 29 Boost fork absorbs bumps and jolts. Gear shifts are precise and consistent with a Sram SX Eagle 1x12 drivetrain.
