2025 Scott

Silence 20

Riding the Silence feels just as active as an analog bike, just with more speed and less strain!Bosch’s Performance Line Speed mid-drive amplifies your effort smoothly and responsively.

The combination of an Enviolo CVT and Gates belt drive is clean, quiet, long-lasting, and flexible! It can deliver exactly as much pedal resistance as you like.

It’s a remarkably comfortable bike, both due to its general ergonomics and its adaptability. The sporty yet relaxed riding position can be tailored through the adjustable stem.

Riders can track ride and health data or access turn-by-turn navigation through the Bosch eBike Connect app.

The bike’s carbon fiber fork helps to make it lighter and more nimble while softening bumps and absorbing vibrations.

The Silence is well equipped for daily commuting. It includes lights (with high beam and brake light functions), fenders, a belt guard, a wheel lock, and a cargo rack with bungees and a 44-lb capacity.

The Bosch Kiox display can be easily removed as a security measure to prevent thieves from turning the bike on and riding away.

Easy charging! The 625 Wh PowerTube battery is removable and pairs with a 4A charger that can recharge it in under 5.5 hours.

It looks every bit the part of a futuristic, high-end commuter, with sleek lines and a color-shifting chameleon paint job.

We liked that Scott included a cafe wheel lock, but we’d prefer that the key were removable without locking it.

The navigation system within the Bosch eBike Connect app was somewhat out of date; finding newly constructed destinations may require a separate app.
