Braking later, braking harder and no slipping due to locked wheels - in a nutshell, these are the core characteristics of a brake with ABS technology. Bosch has already introduced this technology in the urban segment and is now introducing further developments in the sporty segment.

The control optimized for sporty downhill passages regulates in milliseconds and allows the brake to react even more precisely to different surfaces. At the same time, the brake pressure modulation is optimized to achieve better and more natural braking performance even at higher speeds on gravel paths or trails. Bosch wants to extend the "flow window". And with a special race mode, enduro and downhill racers should be able to achieve better times, as they can use the braking power in a more focused way.

Bosch's credo: those who brake precisely not only master descents more safely, but also faster. With this in mind, Bosch has now launched the Pro version of its ABS technology. This is optimized for trail performance and intervenes particularly in the first braking phase to minimize initial braking. ABS Pro ensures stability when braking, after which the control decreases noticeably in terms of braking performance. The length of the initial braking phase depends on the rider's input and tire grip, which are measured by numerous sensors.

The Bosch ABS Pro is compatible with the MT7 disc brakes from Magura and DH-R EVO from TRP, cannot be retrofitted and is only available for e-bikes with the smart Bosch system of the new CX motor. The first bikes with the new ABS Pro are expected to be available from specialist retailers from the end of 2024.
