Is Canyon changing to Bosch

[brunomartins83]

I saw yesterday a story on Fabian Barel Instagram and he is riding a Canyon bike with Bosch motor on it.

I've own a Spectral On 8.0 before and I've got a email from Canyon announcing the new e-bikes in May, they were always working with Shimano but now I think they are moving to Bosch. Maybe a Performance Line Cx Race for the top end build

OR maybe the upcoming Bosch light weight motor?

 

[RiderOnTheStorm]

Canyon being a german manufacturer, I would NOT be surprised if they integrate bosch motors into their new e-mtb offerings. I think it would be a good move

Bosch have a new lightweight ebike motor it seems

Haven't Canyon used bosch motors sometimes in recent times anyway?

I’ve heard rumours that Norco are switching to Bosch, which would make sense considering that they own Live to Play who are the Canadian distributor for Bosch.

Well that would be . There’s a lot of Norco mtb’s around here and the Norco manufacturer/distributor is just down the hill from me.

Some of the Norco workers ride on our hill also.
On another note; I’ve got a Bosch gen4 cx motor I’d like them to see.

I also think in general a lot of people are looking for Bosch motors so it makes sense

Bosch is a massive brand and known for quality in pretty much every area they compete, so that wouldn't be surprising.

Most the other motor manufactures have pretty bad reputations already.
Shimano were giving +2 years warranty because their motors were so bad, doesn't make up for the inconvenience of having to get them replaced all the time though does it.

Yamaha/Giant known for letting in moisture and failing, but probably the easiest to derestrict

Brose/Specialised aren't exactly known for reliability either and them having a belt inside makes them seem unattractive in my opinion.

all the smaller light weight motor brands you have to wonder how long they will be around and how hard is it getting replacements.
wasn';t in fazua at halfords taking 6+ months to get a new motor?

Only problem with Bosch is how hard they are to derestrict with the smart system, but most people probably don't care about that.

This is great news. They definitely lost a sale with me 1.5 years ago when I bought my first EMTB. To me the motor performance on an EMTB is as important as the bike’s geo/performance.

Here a few more pics. Definitely Bosch motor, the frame looks different from the Spectral On, maybe a new Torque On

 

[JP-NZ]

IMO the more brands on Bosch the better, pity here in New Zealand Canyon still won't sell Ebikes though

 

[CliffP]

Looks great

That's great news!

 

[gbcoke]

Bosch is a great system but the overall form factor of their system is something they need to work on as well as the battery weight.
Look at the motor/downtube compared to the 900w ep8 setup...much "Slimmer".

Canyon has used Bosch motors for at least a couple of years on their gravel Grail: ON line. I can only assume they have had a good experience with those.

I have two e-bikes with Bosch motors and am a huge fan. My Canyon Grail has the 4th Gen Speed line motor and there is no temptation to de-restrict it since it already provides support up to 28 mph.

I was able to see all 3 new Canyon models on Lake Garda, Neuron and Strive with Bosch, Torque with Shimano. All three look great, here's the Strive
On 9.05 the new one will be presented

 

[MBj1703]

New Strive = Bosch
New Neuron = Bosch
New Torque = Shimano
Spectral = remain like today

 

[eTrax]

Smart move Canyon! Specialized should do the same.

 

[MBj1703]

Not for me...big Shimano Fan...

Same here. Bosch CX Gen 4 motors on all my e-bikes. Still going strong after 2+ years

 

[franciscoasismm]

My experience with Shimano is good, two ebikes with 36,000 km and 21,500 km and no problem.
I will buy a Strive ON with a Bosch motor and I will learn something new for myself.

 

[Sherman]

What? There will be a Strive:ON with Bosch motor? Sounds very tempting

 

[franciscoasismm]

¿Qué? ¿Habrá un Strive:ON con motor Bosch? Suena muy tentadora

On EP8 motors?

I work at a shop and I personally know of a dozen EP8's that have been replaced by Shimano. I would be extremely nervous to own an EP8 bike out of warranty.

My first ebike with a E8000 motor was rock solid though.

 

[franciscoasismm]

¿En motores EP8?

Trabajo en una tienda y conozco personalmente una docena de EP8 que han sido reemplazados por Shimano. Estaría extremadamente nervioso si tuviera una bicicleta EP8 fuera de garantía.

Sin embargo, mi primera bicicleta eléctrica con un motor E8000 fue sólida como una roca.

DU-E8000

Shit. I was all excited until I saw this.
