Bosch to come out with stronger motors later this year?

[wannesd]

Was at my LBS trying to decide what bike to get, and he mentioned that bosch are supposedly coming out with new, more powerful engines later this year.
Is there any info on this out already?

I would put more power last on the list of priorities for Bosch ... they need smaller, lighter, quieter and less drag ... I say this living in an area with few hills so take it with a grain of salt ... but my Bosch Performance motors have plenty of power for my use-cases ....

I don't think CX drive needs to be anymore powerful to keep up with competition. But it does need to switch to low drag direct drive like competition and its new activeline siblings.
Bosch has lost lot of market share in eMTB market to Shimano E8000 which is slightly less powerful at 70nm so power isn't everything.

eMTB magazine predicts sometime between May and July.

Not sure if it's April 1st article or new a motor is really in the horizon.. enjoy the rumor
