EMTB Podcast

In this episode we discuss the 2025 Crestline LS160 and S180 ebikes, and its integration with Bosch's 5th Generation CX motor. The new bike, known for its balance and long-travel capabilities, is lighter than previous models, weighing under 22kg with a 600wh battery. 

Troydon highlights key improvements in the Bosch system, such as better sensor technology, optimised efficiency, reduced noise, and a weight reduction of up to 1.4kg. While the motor's power output remains at 600w/85Nm an update may be coming next year!
