Rohloff Homage 5 question re Bosch performance upgrade 2

[EllieKen]

Hi all

Does anyone know if it's possible to get the upgraded features that come with the Bosch performance upgrade 2 for these bikes with the Rohloff belt drive systems?
We have updated the system but the maximum torque is still showing 100Nm and assistance level also hasn't changed.

Is this a limitation of the system that is not capable of handling the power? And therefore blocked by R&M for safety for the components.

I'd be interested to hear if anyone's upgrade has or has not been restricted.

Thanks

Ellie

you only get the max amount of torque when you really push the bike hard. like on the 4th gen bosch motor I had to go past 450 watts to get the most of the motor's power. so unless you're pushing really hard you may not evder notice the extra.

Not the answer to your question, but. . .
The Rohloff is rated at 130Nm
I've been using a pair with a 1000w/160Nm mid drive without issue for almost 4 years now. 4k on one, 6k on the other.
