thats good to know...ta
GEN 5 frame display
- Thread starter ckkone
- Start date
one of the best EMBM videos I have seen. Although mentioned, maybe one factor not given much importance ( other than tyres and wheels) is just how strong the bike is to withstand the fiercest beatings.....and the occasional mishap!
Personally I do not need to lift the bike other than into the back of my van or up onto a workstand, so overall dead weight is not important to me...................and I want a strong, accident resistant bike with full power............so it all comes down to how the bike rides. I ride Whyte bikes and the low centre of balance of their bikes, back as far as 2020, has been really noticeable to me, especially compared to other emtbs I have owned that are top heavy. I prefer the stability of a heavier bike as opposed to the liveliness ( or lack of control!) of a lighter bike for my specific favourite trails. That said I fully understand the more lively ride of lighter bikes suits many others. Luckily we all have choices.

Interesting. The photo of the Crestline shows "LS 160 and 03/50". Just like mine. How long have these photos been out I wonder?

Just catching up on this I am about to go to a newly released Bosch gen 5 powered bike am I right in thinking the display might be upgradable and I won’t be stuck with the retro led display? I’m amazed they are still using this!

Yes new screen and software are coming, not sure on ETA.

I heard April for the display, June for the update..
Hello together. I have already seen pictures at my dealers intern catalogue when I bought my orbea bike last week. He showed me the final product. It will look like the prototype frame integration posted above (embn video screenshot) - not easy to see but I try to describe it.
Still has two buttons on right and left bottom corner and as my dealer told me, will cost may be between 250-400 €. The price and the handling is actually not exactly known but seems to be no touch display. It will have a plastic frame around, so no full frameless display but okay frome view of design - not the most modern, but also not totally old school. I expected more when I think about the possibilities of new display types.
It will get published at Sea Otter in two weeks as an answer from embn told me at my YT comment. Should be installable at every frame that has the wider frame holder around the older control unit. Easy plug but not easy play - needs to get matched with the motor by a dealer (as he told me)
Hope this will help to imagine what's coming next. I am really excited what the handling will be.
Have a nice ride. Greetings from Germany

Bosch s’apprêterait à répondre à DJI grâce au débridage de son moteur électrique le plus puissant
Selon nos informations, le moteur Bosch Performance Line CX pour vélos électriques prépare une mise à jour pour lever le couple maximal de 85 à 100 Nm.

New display or 100Nm?

Yes, that's exactly how it look like. Would be really disappointing.
For my needs, speedo, accurate battery percentage and trip is totally adequate. I couldn't care less about touch screens or possibility to watch netflix or use facebook 
Maybe map display would be nice, but with that screen size it's probably not good idea anyway.

This is the new Bosch Kiox 400C, voilà.
Looks like the one I have seen. A navigation possibility shall be given
Yes, from the manual @gio_se shared above it does have the same limited navigation function as a Kiox 300/500.
But the Kiox 400C is a full controller and replaces any other controller plus the display capability.
Is it a color device?

Yes, it’ll have a color screen, and from the size, I’d say it’s pretty much the same as the one on Kiox 300.
Basically, it’s a mix between the system controller and a Kiox 300, just like you said.

I also expected at least some improvement related to Bike lock&alarm management. However, I am staying with the system controller and kiox 400.
