Shimano's 'Di2' Shifting System Features Auto and Manual Shift

— April 21, 2023 — Autos
Shimano Di2 shifting is an electronic shifting system for bikes that uses a battery-powered motor to move the derailleur and change gears. It is faster, more precise, and more reliable than mechanical shifting, according to the company. Shimano Di2 shifting can be used with different modes that offer different levels of control and automation.

Auto Shift with Manual Override is one of the modes that Shimano Di2 shifting offers for e-bikes. It is a mode that automatically shifts gears for you based on your speed and cadence, using Shimano’s LinkGlide drivetrain technology. It also allows you to make manual shifts at any time by pressing the paddles on the controller. Auto Shift with Manual Override can also make predictive shifts while you are coasting, so you always have the optimal gear for every pedal stroke.
