This leaked a week ago, but I don't think anyone here has posted it yet...
"First of all, the original small sprocket is gone, replaced with mounting hardware for a true chainring.
The housing for the new motor appears to be entirely redesigned as well.
The motor is said to weigh just 2.9 kg (6.4 lb). That’s a weight savings of over 25% compared to the previous model, which tipped the scales at 4 kg (8.8 lb).
Early reports also indicate that the motor has lower resistance when not in use.
Powertube batteries will receive a 20% increase in capacity at 600 Wh."
What's not clear is where this fits in the Bosch stack. Is this the Performance Line CX replacement, or something else?
