About the Bosch Performance Line CX

The Performance Line CX is Bosch's main full-power e-MTB motor. The Gen 5 version (BDU384Y) launched in November 2024 at 2.8 kg, about 100 g lighter than Gen 4, with a quieter gearbox, improved sealing, hill start assist and refined sensors.

Bosch has repeatedly raised its output by software. A free update in July 2025 increased torque from 85 to 100 Nm and peak power from 600 to 750 W and introduced eMTB+ mode. Performance Upgrade 2.0, released on 4 May 2026, raised maximum torque to 120 Nm and support to 600% up to 15 km/h, while peak power stays at 750 W.

The motor runs on the Bosch smart system with PowerTube batteries up to 800 Wh, the PowerMore 250 range extender, multiple displays and remotes, and the eBike Flow app. Upgrade 2.0 also added adjustable Extended Boost, a drivetrain tensioner function, Trick Check and a live data interface for Garmin devices.

The CX is fitted to a very wide range of trail, enduro and touring e-MTBs from brands such as Trek, Cube, Scott, KTM and Mondraker. It suits riders who want strong assistance with a large service network and a broad choice of bikes.
