I just had the motor replaced in my 2020 comp because of a sprig clutch failure. The build date of the old motor was last October and the new one is April 23 of this year. The LBS where I purchased the bike did the swap and made sure the motor firmware was updated. It’s smooth and quiet again which is good. However, there seems to be a noticeable difference in the assist mode power for a given setting.
With my original motor, I had tried a bunch of different settings but found I could ride pretty much everything and had plenty of battery in trail mode at 25/100. With the new motor, that same 25/100 seems more like 15/100 or 20/100 did before the swap. E.g. trail mode feels like eco. I’m wondering if maybe there is a different support mode mapping now. I haven’t done enough different rides to find the new support mode setting that most closely matches what I got with the old motor but if I had to guess it’s probably something like 30/100 or 40/100.
I did go back and reread the thread about lower power after a motor update but don’t think that’s relevant to my case. I do seem to have the latest firmware but more importantly, the peak power of the bike is the same as it was before. I.e. according to the Mission Control app it can pull the full 20A rather than hitting the 15A limit of the Brose/non-Specialized firmware, and showed a max motor power of 774w in Blevo.
So the bottom line is that while peak power is the same between the old and new motors, the available support power of the new motor seems lower than the old motor at the same setting. Has anyone else who has received one of the newest version motors experienced something similar?

not mine it's from the manual
