Designed for reflexive operation while trail riding, intuitive control switches can
be located where the rider’s thumbs naturally rest. With a colour LCD that
communicates key information at a glance, the cycle computer is also easy to use.
SHIMANO understands the crucial role played by firmware. Every day, we work to
revise and improve the operation of our firmware. We know that it is even
possible to improve the performance of hardware through a firmware update.
INTUITIVE OPERATION
INTELLIGENT WALK ASSIST
You can update the unit firmware, adjust
DI2 settings, carry out error checks, and
customize each unit via Bluetooth
®
,
using SHIMANO’s E-TUBE aplication on a
smartphone or tablet.
Left and right, operating the thumb
switches soon becomes second nature for
controlling power-assist modes, lights,
and other functions. Mode information
is plain to see with just a glance at the
colour-LCD computer display.
WIRELESS PROGRAMMING
The basic function of efficient pedaling is to move the bike
forward efficiently, but riders also demand nimble handling,
responsive acceleration, and low-speed controllability from
mountain bikes. The E8000 Series is specifically developed for
the needs of MTB riders. To realize a natural riding feel, the
programming ensures that just the right amount of power
assistance is delivered when it is needed. Meanwhile, it also
promptly withdraws assistance if not required. In particular,
when the speed passes 25 km/h and assistance cuts out,
pedaling remains smooth with no gaps.
When you accelerate from standing or out of a curve, power
assistance responds by quickly getting you up to speed.
During tricky technical riding involving tight turns or
balanced immobility, prompt cut off ensures that the bike
responds immediately. When the system provides assistance,
it feels natural. Spin the pedals quickly and the drive unit
adds power to your output. When cadence falls, it supplies
torque to help you up sudden inclines or longer climbs.
NATURAL-FEELING POWER ASSIST FOR MTBs
Firmware programming controls gear-by-gear level of power
assistance according to monitored speed, torque, cadence,
and other data. To make the most efficient use of battery
power and to ensure the most responsive assistance across
different terrains, rider-selectable modes are available.
To add the torque you need to power up steep inclines,
Boost Mode can provide as much as 300% assistance.
Across the cadence range, versatile Trail Mode subtly assists
rider effort when pedalling over varied terrain.
Eco Mode is best when cycling mostly on the flat, for
example when riding to a trail head.
Walk Mode is also there to aid you when pushing the bike.
In each mode, the firmware works to smoothly contribute
just the right amount of assistance. (see opposite page 16)
ASSISTANCE TUNED TO RIDER NEEDS
For times when you have to walk the bike
up a mountain trail, intelligent walk assist
regulates the maximum speed according
to the current DI2 gear setting of the bike.
QUICK WALK
To get power assistance while walking,
you only have to make a long press on a
switch, regardless of the mode being
used. You are free to just start walking
without having to go through a selection
sequence.
