Bosch announced a brand new version of their Nyon ebike display (which has been available since 2014 in Europe). This display will come to North Americal in Winter 2020, and be available as a retrofit aftermarket update for people who want to switch from Purion, Intuvia, or Kiox. I’ve listed a few of the updates from a presentation that the Bosch CEO did and welcome your feedback!

– The new Gen 2 Nyon as a touchscreen, as well as the independent button pad (usually mounted near the left grip on a bicycle handlebar)

– Designed to be durable, working in rain, dusty conditions, and with gloves
– Optimum readability with the larger screen and high precision screen, brightness and backlight update automatically based on surroundings
