2.2 How the Shimano Steps system works
Features
• Compact, lightweight design
• Silent, smooth ride
• System off ering excellent performance in terms
of changing gears (for an electronic shift system).
This system uses accurate sensors that let you
change gear by off ering the most appropriate level
of electric assistance, as this is carefully adjusted
via digital controls.
• Fully automatic gear changes (for a 5 or 8 Di2
electronic shift system).
The sensors detect the conditions in which your
bike is being used. If you are cycling uphill, into
a headwind, or on a fl at surface with no wind;
the automatic gear shift system uses electronic
controls to make your ride more enjoyable.
• Start mode (for an electronic shift system).
This function lets you switch to a defi ned lower
gear when you stop the bike, at traffi
c lights for
example, so that you can start off in a low gear. If
you switch to a lower gear at the set gear when
the bike stops, the system will not automatically
switch to the next gear up.
• Light off road, sports, off ers powerful assistance.
Can only be used when set up by the bike
manufacturer.

some regions.
* Some of the functions listed above can only

applicable, talk to the shop you bought your bike
from and update the fi rmware.
