Stuttgart/Reutlingen – Peaceful forest paths, sweeping river valleys, or spectacular coastal routes – eBike rides offer countless adventures. With the Performance Line PX, Bosch eBike Systems is launching a premium system that has been specially developed for demanding bike rides, weekend trips, and extended bike-packing rides.
"Whether on multi-day adventures with heavy bags or on spontaneous discovery rides in nature: We have developed the Performance Line PX specifically for the needs of touring riders. It was important to us that they receive powerful yet finely tuned support that adapts intuitively to their riding situation. With the robust and versatile system, eBike riders level up their everyday and discover new paths," says Claus Fleischer, CEO at Bosch eBike Systems.
Feel the power – and adjust it to suit you
With up to 90 Newton meters of torque, 700 watts of power and assistance of up to 400 percent, the Performance Line PX weighs approximately 6.4 pounds and promises a powerful yet balanced riding experience.1 The smart sensor technology responds precisely to pedal input and provides natural support for touring eBike riders on their tours. It also recognizes start-up situations and gives them a powerful boost when required. Smart functions such as the familiar walk assistance or hill start assist make handling easier when starting uphill or on steeper terrain – an absolute bonus, especially when touring with heavy bags.
Another positive point: eBike riders can customize the performance values of the Performance Line PX to their personal requirements in the eBike Flow app.1 Higher performance values also mean higher wear and lower range – Bosch eBike Systems leaves this decision up to eBike riders. For example, the maximum torque can be increased on tours with many inclines and heavy bags. If you are riding on long flat stages, you can reduce the motor support and thus optimize your range.
Naturally quiet – and comfortable
The Performance Line PX makes it possible for eBike riders to enjoy nature and explore new surroundings thanks to the optimized gearbox concept: The drive unit provides particularly quiet support and remains smooth even when cruising. As usual, eBike riders receive support up to 20 mph, above which the gearbox decouples the motor and the eBike can be pedaled with hardly any noticeable resistance. With Auto mode, adventurous riders can simply keep pedaling, even on ascents and into headwinds, as the riding mode automatically provides optimum support. This means you don't have to switch between riding modes and can simply enjoy the ride.
Don't waste a thought on the gear shifting operation
If you want even more comfort on your touring ride, you should not miss out on the eShift electric gear shifting solution With this automatic solution, eBikes with the Performance Line PX automatically shift to the appropriate gear – according to the individually selected cadence. This allows eBike riders to ride more evenly and focus fully on the route. A positive side effect: Material wear on the system is also reduced. eShift with automatic shifting is already available with the shifting systems from enviolo and TRP. New: eShift is now also available with shifting systems from Shimano.
Smart tour helpers: 3D map display, annual overview of ride data, and optimized eBike ABS
For an even better overview, the ride screen in the eBike Flow app now offers eBike riders a 3D map display of the terrain and visualizes the elevation graph of the immediate surroundings. This way, adventurous travelers always know what to expect on the next leg of their journey. Also new: In the statistics, eBike riders can see an annual overview of the number of all rides, the distance traveled, the trip time, and the elevation. These valuable statistics apply to all eBikes registered in the eBike Flow app. The two new functions require a Flow+ subscription.
If you are traveling downhill with fully loaded panniers or the route leads over slippery gravel or wet forest paths, the Bosch eBike ABS in ABS Allroad mode is your reliable partner. Precise sensors in the Performance Line PX measure the inclination and speed of the eBike very accurately and ensure optimum brake support. This allows eBike riders to brake more safely in the event of sudden obstacles and enjoy a smoother ride overall. The Performance Line PX is available in conjunction with Bosch eBike ABS with brakes from Magura, TRP, and Shimano.
Enjoy nature responsibly
The Performance Line PX lets you experience maximum support on adventure tours, while also enjoying nature at the same time. To achieve this, Bosch eBike Systems has taken various measures to reduce its Product Carbon Footprint2. Firstly, around 40 percent recycled aluminum is used in the housing of the drive unit. This has enabled almost half of the CO₂ emissions from the housing to be cut3. Secondly, Bosch eBike Systems uses recycled plastic4 for some components in the drive unit – thereby supporting the circular economy.
1 On delivery: 85 Nm, 600 W, 340% support. eBike riders can adjust the performance values of the drive unit via the eBike Flow app. Note: Higher performance values can have a negative effect on range and wear. This allows the eBike manufacturer to limit the maximum performance values by means of a factory setting. In the eBike Flow app, only the maximum values specified by the manufacturer can be set.
2 The Product Carbon Footprint can be used to record the emissions generated during the production and manufacture of a product. We have considered the effects of CO₂ as well as other greenhouse gases and climate-relevant substances, insofar as these are relevant to the analysis. For ease of reading, we use CO₂ synonymously with CO₂ equivalents.
3 Savings compared to the use of conventional aluminum. These savings are partially attributable to the use of green electricity in the production of recycled aluminum. The calculation is based on supplier data.
4 The grease guide plate, torque sensor housing, and wire feeder are among the largest plastic parts in the drive unit. The grease guide plate and torque sensor housing are manufactured using more than 50% recycled material, while the wire feeder has a recycled content of approx. 35% (source: supplier data).
