Bosch Performance Upgrade 2.0 for the Bosch CX-R motor.

From May 2026, this update will allow the maximum motor torque to be increased from 100 Nm to 120 Nm on any 5th-generation Bosch CX or CX-R motor, as well as increasing the maximum pedal assistance from 400% to up to 600%.

More torque to tackle the toughest climbs. More push in technical sections. More acceleration for those tricky sections. More power when the terrain gets tougher.

But the difference isn’t just in the numbers.

CARBON FIBRE: THROUGHOUT

Crafty Carbon counts on an all-new carbon fibre frame manufactured from Stealth Air Carbon. There are 5 builds available in 5 different sizes with two different chainstay lengths depending on size. The R and RR builds are built on a carbon fibre frame with an aluminium rear triangle. The other 3 builds, the RR S, XR and RR SL are carbon fibre throughout.

NEW FORWARD GEOMETRY

FLIP CHIP

The new design is also one degree slacker than the previous generation of Crafty Carbon, making the 2025 model more stable at speed. As well as the new 64.5° head angle, the new frame also comes with a two-position (standard and low) flip chip on the lower shock mount which means you can modify the bottom bracket height by +/- 0.5mm and the seat and head tube angles by +/-0.35° to better suit your style or terrain type.

AIM: OPTIMIZATION

As with the recently released SLY, Crafty Carbon now comes in 5 different sizes thanks to the addition of an ‘ML’ option.

A standout feature is the incorporation of two different chainstay lengths dependant on frame size. Chainstay length has a significant impact on how a bike handles, and gone are the day of one-size-fits-all. By having two different chainstay lengths we can keep the same ‘feel’ of a Crafty Carbon regardless of frame size. Forward Geometry is thus optimized by adapting chainstay length to frame size. The S, M, and ML sizes get 455mm chainstays, while the L and XL sizes grow by one centimetre to 465mm, ensuring that regardless of frame size the ride ‘feel’ stays consistent throughout the range. Crafty Carbon is our first bike to offer two different chainstay lengths.

BOSCH CX PERFORMANCE: LATEST VERSION

This updated Bosch CX has the same 85Nm of torque and 600W peak power as the previous model but offers far better power delivery and control. Motor noise is reduced while pedalling and coasting, and mechanical rattles when riding downhill have been eliminated altogether.

The CX’s new software and electronics, together with the improved kinematics of the new Zero Suspension System, mean the Crafty Carbon offers improved performance in all conditions and on all terrain types. The new motor also boasts reduced drag when pedalling above 25km/h

REMOVABLE BATTERIES: 800Wh AND 600Wh.

Crafty Carbon range has a possibility to fit both the 800Wh or 600Wh batteries. R and RR models feature the new 800Wh Bosch batteries as original equipment and the more sophisticated RR S, XR and RR SL models are fitted with the lighter 600Wh version. Both batteries have been completely upgraded and optimised with the new generation of 21700 cells with higher energy density which, in combination with the new hardware and software improvements of the new Performance CX Bosch motor with renewed electronics, provide improved efficiency with longer battery range and a much lower weight compared to the previous generation. More kilometres, more fun.

EXTRA RANGE: WITH THE 250Wh POWERMORE

Since then, Crafty has evolved to become Mondraker’s reference e-bike.
