E8000 Series / SYSTEM MECHANISM
To extend the pleasure of riding to everyone, each SHIMANO Total Electric Power System provides both power assistance and
the satisfying feel of pedalling. The E8000 Series has been designed to be robust, lightweight, and compact. Positioned low on
the frame, the midship drive unit allows better-balanced frame designs. The short chain stay specification and narrow Q-Factor
ensure that power-assisted MTBs can be designed with the mechanical performance and authentic handling characteristics of
conventinal mountain bikes. SHIMANO’s experience of the rigours of the trail and commitment to quality bring you a refined,
responsive system that promptly delivers just the right amount of assistance for your cadence and speed. SHIMANO wants to
bring you next level and discover greater freedom.

The drive unit has been designed so that frames can have almost same chain stay length as conventional normal MTBs. The
short chain stay specification allows frame makers to design power-assisted mountain bikes that provide the same
maneuverable handling and authentic feel as conventional normal MTBs. Meanwhile, the drive unit and refined electronic
control deliver seamless shifting that allows riders to fully enjoy more technically demanding stretches of trail riding. Coupled
with a manoeuverable frame, the E8000 Series is part of a complete MTB experience.
