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!
