Finally, it was time for a full-blooded test of the latest generation of eMTB support, the Bosch CX. In order to draw the right conclusions, I invited Mariusz Bryja from Brian's Bikes from Zakopane to ride. On his great routes, we literally fired up the engine until it dropped. My goal was to find out what advanced eBike users think about the new engine, how it compares to other systems, including SL class engines with reduced power and power consumption. We also had a long discussion about the needs of users. We consider scenarios of using this advanced equipment by both beginner amateurs and advanced, e.g. amateur eEnduro riders. We thoroughly tested the CX on steep and slippery climbs to see what is more important in such conditions, power or control. We assess the noise level of the new engine compared to other systems. We check the user interface in contact with the manual efficiency of the boomer. We discuss the validity of ABS operation in special stage conditions. The test also explains how the automatic gear change of the TRP derailleur works and how we see its effectiveness and usefulness. The Fest Test in the natural conditions of Podhale also became an inspiration for more structured tests, the results of which I will present in the next films. They will concern: the range of ABS effectiveness expressed in meters of automatic gear change
