In a competition for the anniversary of Bosch eBike Systems, selected pedelec manufacturers created exclusive special models
Bosch eBike Systems had already started a competition for the upcoming 10th anniversary at Taichung Bike Week 2018. E-bike manufacturers who install eBike systems from Bosch eBike Systems were asked to submit their suggestions for anniversary models.
The Special editions should represent the successful cooperation between Bosch and the bicycle manufacturers and at the same time reflect the creativity and diversity in the e-bike segment. The special models were presented as part of the Bosch eBike Systems new product presentation for 2021.
The selected anniversary eBikes are exclusively produced by the award-winning manufacturers in limited numbers. One requirement on the part of Bosch, however, was to use certain predefined products. The winners each chose the new Nyon on-board computer, which will also be available for retrofitting in stores from autumn 2020.
Furthermore, the engines of the models, which are the latest Performance Line and Performance Line CX hardware, have a special anniversary design. A Bosch jury divided the submitted proposals into the following different categories: “Future Design”, “Unique Character” and “Bosch Heritage”.
Cannondale “Topstone Neo Carbon Lefty LE”
Cannondale won the “Future Design” category with the Topstone Neo Carbon Lefty LE score. The unique Racer brings the Performance Line CX perfectly integrated and also stands out due to its black-copper-colored paintwork as particularly slim and elegant. The e-gravel bike, which was only introduced regularly, has full suspension with 30 mm, which is not visible from the outside, which allows it to be driven quickly and comfortably over a variety of surfaces such as asphalt, gravel or dirt roads.
