[Tekmotiv]

Gen 5 is lighter, much quieter, more battery choices. Available now on imminent Mondraker Crafty 2025 specs

It is going to be available on tons of bike, but definitely not soon.

It is funny because once the bosch gen5 was out, I saw several outlet bike popin powered by Bosch: it begins!

Do you have others info?

So they're going to bump the outputs right, why is that a few months away ie not at release?

Do they need to ?

The Gen4 performs pretty well at getting us up efficiently.

Aren't we more about going up to do down ??

If we're not that we're about distance and undulation.

It does both well.

No rattle, less noise, potentially a tiny bit more efficiency.

Aren't you entering the crossover phase of risking trashing trails and motocross style with more power ? Power is also relative, it still has to fit within the 250w rules.

I was moreso referring to torque.

I just wonder why not release it with more? Rather than wait.

I totally agree that 600w 85nm is enough BTW. It's a great direction they've gone with a refining the system and higher energy density batteries. There's no other motor system I'd rather have at the moment.

Now that the gen 5 is out, it could be good to get a 3x3 rear hub in Rob rides, Sam, or Knut's hands for a test.
Apparently they have bluetooth shifting that synches up with the bosch smart system. Reasonable weight as well. Get it with a belt and it could be the quietest system with this new bosch cx
