Yes I rarely use Turbo & unless on a smooth long uphill I find the way Turbo kicks in & out to be a pain in the arse.
feathering your brakes works wonders to control turbo mode in steep techy twisty areas.

Yes I don't usually use it however found it quite intermittent when I accidently left it on for a tight techy uphill. I guess that is why the update is there, more range of usability - maybe after the update I'll just leave it in turbo, hang on & launch to the top!!feathering your brakes works wonders to control turbo mode in steep techy twisty areas.

I don't understand, how can one 250w motor be faster than another 250w motor?
Just kidding, but I do find it odd they lie through their teeth about the wattage number but are such sticklers for the MPH numbers. I keep expecting one of them to put out a bike that lets you do 40mph* (Top speed limited to average 15mph, including time charging your bike in your garage). I mean, really, what is the relationship to the 250w in the spec at this point?

That's right, Bosch says 85Nm is only available in turbo mode, so eco should be no different?That doesn't tie in with the screen shot I posted earlier in the thread. I wonder how much is just rider perception and/or confirmation bias.
From my Press Release from Bosch:So is that saying only EMTB mode give you the Extended Boost functionality?
So Turbo give's you extra Torque, EMTB mode Extra Boost and nothing for Tour mode and Eco mode? Or do they get easy start and powerful speed up hills (which are shown under the 85Nm Torque section of the flyer)?
Just seems strange some of this would only apply to Turbo mode as I'm not sure that's the most commonly used mode. It's like Bosch have announced "Exclusive additional power for the mode people use the least amount of time!"...
From my Press Release from Bosch:
"
Master challenging riding situations
As the benchmark in the eMTB sector, the Performance Line CX typifies pure trail riding enjoyment. This includes the ability to accelerate quickly and powerfully even at low cadences, as well as being able to perform standing starts on the steepest of terrains. These characteristics are getting better still with maximum torque increased to 85 Nm in both eMTB and Turbo modes. The performance upgrade offers full power over a broad cadence range. "This enables unpredictable riding situations to be mastered even more effectively," explains Claus Fleischer, CEO of Bosch eBike Systems. "Delayed gear shifting, for example, is better compensated and acceleration out of tight turns is much more powerful and dynamic." This also means eMountain bikers will have more power readily available in particularly technical sections. In addition, the riding experience feels absolutely natural and free from jolts, even when standing on the pedals or in Turbo mode.
Also, prizes go to Bosch for the most confusing graphs ?

Yes, but mine was a pre release software and I’m not sure if it means that it is correct. If I remember it was 1.0.4@Rob Hancill did you get a chance to see the version number of the update?
No more info that I’ve received from Bosch since the original press release.Thanks, I'd guessed that would be the number. Do you have any info on the release date?
