SM-DUE80-A
(Standard Cover)
SM-DUE80-B
(Mount Bolt Cover)
The electric wires, brake hose and cables aperiodically need
to be checked as necessary. Now, rather than having to
remove the whole crank assembly for maintenance, the
hose and cable can be accessed simply by removing the
driveunit cover.
EASIER MAINTENANCE
Depending on the type of bike and the way it will be ridden,
two types of driveunit cover are available. One provides the
minimum necessary coverage
(

)
.
When more robust
protection is needed, a more extensive cover
(
SM-DUE80-B
)
can
be used. However, depending on the frame design, it might not
be possible to fit both types of cover onto a bike.
SELECTABLE DRIVEUNIT COVER
A groove in the drive unit enables internal routing of the
electric wires, brake hose etc. Internal routing helps better
appearance and prevent disconnection when riding on
rough trails.
Plus, the press-fitting screw hole design eliminates play and
makes it much easier to attach the drive unit to the frame.
This effectively solves the previous dilemma of having to
shape the drive unit to exactly fit the frame, which made the
drive unit much more difficult to install.
INTERNAL ROUTING CAPABILITY / EASIER TO ATTACH
The distance between left and right crank can make a big difference to the feel of pedalling. Pushing the pedals with feet wide
apart causes discomfort and greater frame flex, which wastes effort. The compact E8000 series drive unit keeps the cranks close
together. Moreover, because the Q-Factor is zero offset from the centerline of drive unit, pedalling is smooth, comfortable and
efficient.
Q-FACTOR KEPT FOR PEDALLING COMFORT
The distance between the outside of the
cranks is known as the Q-Factor. With the
E8000 Series, the Q-Factor is almost the
same as with standard XT cranks.
E8000 Series
DU-E8000
Specially designed for mountain bikes, the E8000 series
drive unit is compact enough to keep the chain stays short,
the Q-Factor narrow, and to allow adequate clearance for
tyres and suspension. The reduced weight also ensures that
handling remains nimble. Delivering up to 70 Nm of torque
or 250 W rated power, the drive unit quietly helps riders get
up and over steep inclines. The attractive design also
features cooling fins to dissipate heat. The total package is
compact, lightweight, and delivers plenty of power.
