Bosch CX Race Vs Turbo Mode | Which Is Faster?

With the introduction of the Bosch Performance Line CX Race motor, allowing riders to accelerate faster and reach top speeds quicker, are these new features a faster way to climb even the hardest of technical trails? Steve Jones is out exploring some harsh Welsh terrain to put a collection of Bosch motors to the test to find out!

Every video you guys always highlight the importance on tyre choice , line choice etc which is all relevant granted but thats not wjat we want to know !
Forget testing on a climb thats more down to skill and bike set up and just point it up a climb with good grip that you can replicate as close as humanly possible and see which is faster thats all most people want the answer to 👍

[@Numberofbillion]

I agree dude, testing is a bit hit & miss, at least run multiple laps - then average. Blind tests - hide the mode tests... It's said there's no more power or torque but just changing the response settings. Guess my LEVOs have had RACE ability all along.

[@Numberofbillion]

Love your work Steve

[@docdennistan]

Fair comparison 🤔

[@billydasher5518]

What's the rush??

[@barakzan]

you should compare to the rail after you take turbo to the max with the flow app

[@jmo2752]

I tend to agree - to me 'Race' still sounds like another preset of Turbo just with the acceleration response set to max... although I suppose it feasible that the acceleration response still varies with your pedal input, but is just quicker to react [ie. rather than being 100% all the time] ?

[@claytonprice7833]

What peakpower in Race mode is the motor putting out... We are having issues with the CX motor when doing 50km races with Elevation.. Keeps pulling power out of motor due to battery overheating. Can you do a 50km Race Run for us on both CX and CXR motor?

[@chassdesk]

Other brand motor times would be helpful

[@mtzroberto]

My question is, which motor at slow pedaling offers me better assistance, on a slope, even if I stop and start again. The speed of climb seems fine, but the intention is to stop as little as possible or not at all, than to reach a top and have to catch a lot of breath.
I ride 20 or 25 km with a normal bike, with a motor I think I would do 35 to 40 km, enough for me. I think a Fuzua or TQ motor, but I think I would need more torque for a 4km slope with a difference of 350m. What can you say to me? I have heard that the Yamaha answers for this.

[@terrylyons6210]

Still not buying it. Next year I suppose bosch will just put a throttle on it and call it "On Demand Extended-Extended Boost".

[@paul340mopar]

Love the Channel and everything you guys do, but I don't think that was a very good comparison. Too technical a climb with too many variables, different tires, suspension, chosen line, rider fatigue etc. Need a hill like that Dam or Slab you guys rode up.

[@thim8009]

I weigh more than you do Steve, how much range do you lose going with the race series motor?

[@mountaincruiser817]

Steve's crooked visor tells an interesting story. You clumsy bugger 😂

[@fuckinellitsraymo]

Just aim between the rocks

[@kaodhanhouston2481]

Put on a pink lid and you will go 20% faster that what you told me can you remember that fella

[@planeranger4147]

Fact 👍🤪

[@mjsmjs7905]

Bosch should stick to doing what they do best, making awesome hammer drills at a very fair price. I'm a big fan of their drills.

[@Lee-ic2yn]

I bet that's all this motor is too

[@trosencrantz]

And now they make the best e-bike motor to date!

[@joanmartret938]

@@trosencrantz Best engine is the Polini motor which Bosch copied the Race mode and something else.

[@trosencrantz]

@@joanmartret938 never heard of it. How do you know Bosch didn’t create their own motor first? Big Conpmany.

[@joanmartret938]

@@trosencrantz Really! Don't you know anything about Polini? First ebike and engine was developed by Yamaha in the 90's
Polini has a great engine, a race engine.

[@lakaldrak]

Self explaining that ITs faster. ITS Like saying Eco vs turbo-which is faster.

[@islandaerial3414]

Meh 🙄

[@MarioGoatse]

I’ve been trying to find good EMTB channels and it’s really hard. I don’t think I’ve seen a single great video from this channel. I’m out
