With Boost and Trail settings perfectly adjusted to your riding style, you’ll stay in the flow from beginning to end
Imagine cruising through the trails, naturally feeling one with your bike, where every terrain is custom tailored to your style of riding! That is exactly what it feels like when your e-bike is equipped with the newest version of SHIMANO STEPS MTB.

Personalized Pedal-Assist Levels
With Boost and Trail settings now fully customizable, you can choose the perfect level of support to match your unique needs and riding style.
This latest advancement in e-bike technology will have you feeling like you’re pedalling on a normal bike but with legs, lungs and technical skills of a pro cyclist. You’ll find yourself more in sync with both your bike and the trails.
Trail-Setting Benefits
The Trail setting will continue to incorporate Shimano-invented intuitive support curve technology that has been integrated into its Trail setting from the beginning. But now that it’s combined with the ability to choose your power-assist levels, its delivered range of custom-adjusted smooth steady power will more closely match your specific demands.

Customized Boost and Trail Settings
Our new performance feature of customizable Boost and Trail power mode switch settings significantly increase your options for a more personal feel to the bike. It delivers seamless support for everyone from beginner to competitive level cyclists. We accomplished this by making it possible to choose between three pedal-assist levels (high, medium, low) for both of these settings. Our Eco setting remains the same with one pedal-assist level that continues to deliver the ideal balance of support and battery longevity.
3 Modes to Choose From
Customizable Graded Pedal Assistance
When combining our new customizable power-assist levels with our current intuitive Trail setting which automatically adjusts its support according to your pedalling efforts, you’ll experience a whole new level of fully customizable dynamic support curve. The system will continue to detect the amount of pressure pushed on each pedal stroke, but now it will more closely match it with the ideal amount of pedal-assist…like the perfect teammate. Simply choose which level of support curve you want and pedal! All that’s left for you to do is simply focus on the trails ahead. Our Trail does the rest!

Settings Adjustment
Using SHIMANO STEPS MTB E-Tube interface that incorporates Bluetooth technology, you can easily adjust any of these settings via laptop, tablet or smartphone.
