Peak watt

Does anybody know what peak watt the ned bosch cx gen4 output, im trying to deside with motor i schoul go for

All details of Bosch Performance CX motor is on the main Bosch website. They do not specify peak watts but any comparison made on the basis of peak watts would not really tell you anything useful anyway. The torque output/ cadence graph gives you a means to do a basic comparison but even that does not take into account the software management. I use bikes with Bosch Gen4 and Brose....both are powerful but there are subtle differences in their ride characteristics.

What is the upside and downside betwen those to

The Levo ( Brose) is quieter and is more tuneable via the mission control app than the Bosch Gen4. It also has a better mode controller on the bars than the Bosch Gen4 which is typically equipped as standard with the rather bulky Purion display. In terms of how they ride a lot depends how you tune the 3 modes on the Levo as to how they compare with the 4 modes on the Bosch Gen 4. Both are equally powerful. The Levo comes with 500 or 700 w/h battery, the Bosch Gen4 typically 625 w/h. Most people almost exclusively use the EMTB mode on Bosch gen 4 motors. In practise it can involve a bit more rider input than using say Trail on the Brose /Levo tuned at 50% pedal assist but it continues to give more assist the greater the rider input so there is rarely a need to change mode up into Turbo. With the Levo it is usually the case that the last most extreme part of a climb needs a mode switch up into Turbo. I think the power delivery is more refined on the Levo where the Bosch Gen4 can be a bit brutish but a lot of that is down to riding style and...wll, just getting used to whatever you are riding.

Great summary.
