Despite the new Tour+ mode, the software version of the Performance CX Gen 4 engine should remain at version 1.1.5.0. for Bosch) does not expect any changes regarding the tuning detection as a result of the update. Here you get a first overview about their tests and reactions: VOLspeed about the new Bosch Tour+ modeĪ developer from VOLspeed (manufacturer of tuning modules, e.g. It is conceivable that the Bosch anti-tuning detection suddenly reacts after an update.ĭo we have to assume that the tuning will also be affected by the Tour+ update? We have tried to get expert opinions from various tuning manufacturers. Generally, we do not recommend updates, since they can affect the function of the tuning tools. The Bosch Tour+ mode tested: Effects on tuning tools?įor us, the question is whether common tuning tools for Bosch e-bikes will still work after the update. The Tour+ mode will be available from July 2021 for all Bosch e-bikes with Performance Line CX motors from year of manufacture 2020 onwards. Bosch screenshot Bosch e-bike motors are getting serious competitionīy optimizing the motor support, Bosch is probably responding to the massive competition from Shimano’s new EP8 motor, which also has a very high torque of 85 Nm – and weighs just 2.6 kg. Apparently, Bosch wants to provide a kind of eMTB mode for everyone with the „Tour+“ mode. The annoying shifting is eliminated, so you can enjoy the riding experience even more. This not only saves battery power – as a side effect, the stepless assistance in the Tour+ mode is also supposed to provide an even more natural riding experience that feels even more like a real bike. Switching between the known driving modes is not necessary with the Tour+ mode. As soon as the incline subsides or you are riding on a flat surface again, the motor assistance is reduced again. The ratio of assistance is continuously increased the harder you pedal, eventually resulting in a stepless transition into Turbo mode. When going uphill, on the other hand, the Tour+ mode delivers powerful, individually adapted support again. However, battery power is saved in return. Overall, you have to pedal a bit harder and should also feel a bit more resistance on flat tracks. This is supposed to work by the motor support holding back when the rider himself provides sufficient pedaling support, e.g. The „Tour+“ mode is not about increasing the power (which is already very impressive with the powerful Performance Line CX drive), but primarily about more range and a more natural riding experience. This mode dynamically varies between Eco and Turbo riding modes and provides progressive motor assistance for maximum performance on the trail.„ see above But first, what is the Tour+ mode supposed to do? The Tour+ mode is shown in the display as „Tour“.
The eMTB mode varies dynamically between the Tour and Turbo riding modes.
