Our AUTO SHIFT technology marks one of the biggest ever steps forward in cycling innovation. The concept of automated shifting has become a reality. The technology certainly delivers, but how does it work in a practical, real-world sense? And what are its benefits to you?
Let’s take a look.
But first, a refresher on the what’s what.
AUTO SHIFT is an innovative sensor technology that monitors your riding to measure cadence, torque and speed to move you into the best gear for the conditions seamlessly.
FREE SHIFT delivers pedal-free gear shifting by synchronizing the chainring rotation with the rear derailleur. This enables gear changes while coasting.
You can use AUTO SHIFT and FREE SHIFT if you have a setup with either an EP801 or EP600 drive unit and DEORE XT Di2 or SHIMANO CUES Di2.
