Introduction
This document serves as a comprehensive compatibility chart for Shimano's E-TUBE PROJECT electronic shifting systems. It is essential to ensure that all connected components are compatible to guarantee proper system functionality. The charts cover various E-TUBE systems, including Di2 and E-BIKE configurations, for different cycling disciplines such as road, gravel, mountain biking (MTB), and lifestyle applications.
Di2 Systems
Shimano's Di2 (Digital Integrated Intelligence) system offers precise and reliable electronic shifting. The following are key configurations and their compatible components:
- Di2 with BT-DN300: Features internal battery, master unit, switch units (wired/wireless), satellite shifters, rear and front shifting systems, and PC linkage devices. Specific limitations apply to wireless dual control levers and rear derailleurs.
- Di2 with BM-DN100 / BT-DN110: Supports both Road/Gravel and Lifestyle applications with external or internal batteries. Includes system information displays, switch units, rear and front shifting systems, wireless units, and PC linkage devices. Notes detail specific component requirements and limitations.
- Di2 with SM-BMR1 / SM-BMR2 / SM-BTR2: Covers Road/Gravel and Lifestyle applications with various battery options. Compatibility extends to system information displays, switch units, rear and front shifting systems, wireless units, and PC linkage devices. Specific limitations are noted for SC-S705 and SM-BCR2.
- Di2 with EW-PS300: Focuses on wireless configurations with a maximum of 3 wireless units. Includes switch units, rear shifting systems, a Di2 adapter, and integration with Bosch/Smart e-bike systems.
- Di2 with EW-EX310: Supports up to 8 units (wired and wireless) and includes satellite shifters, rear and front shifting systems, PC linkage devices, and TQ Drive units.
- Di2 with EW-EX010: Integrates with Bosch eBike System 2, featuring junction boxes, electric wires, various rear shifting systems (including internal geared hubs and rear derailleurs), and PC linkage devices. Limitations include compatibility with specific hub types and the need for E-TUBE PROJECT settings.
Key Di2 Limitations:
- Wireless DUAL CONTROL LEVERs must be paired as Right and Left.
- Some systems require specific control switches or combinations for operation (e.g., SYNCHRONIZED SHIFT in MTB).
- Wired connections are often necessary for full functionality or specific adjustments.
- EW-AD305 may be required for connecting SD50 port units.
E-BIKE Systems (Gen.2)
The 2nd generation E-BIKE systems (EP8, EP6, EP5) are designed for enhanced performance and compatibility with partner manufacturers' batteries. Key components include:
- Master Unit: DU-EP801, DU-EP600, DU-EP500 (and their CRG variants).
- Cycle Computer: SC-EN500, SC-EN600, SC-EN610, SC-EM800.
- Unit with Power Button Function: SW-EN600-L.
- Switch Unit: SW-EN600-L.
- Satellite System ON/OFF Switch: EW-SW310.
- Switch Unit: SW-EN600-L, SW-EN600-R, SW-M8150-R, SW-M8150-IR.
- Rear Shifting System: Various speed options (12, 11, 10-speed) and motor units.
- PC Linkage Device: SM-PCE02.
Key Gen.2 E-BIKE Limitations:
- Gen.2 systems are not compatible with batteries designed for conventional systems.
- Switch units are mandatory for assist control in some configurations.
- Cycle computers may display limited information when connected to certain drive units.
E-BIKE Systems (Gen.1)
The 1st generation E-BIKE systems offer compatibility with partner manufacturers' batteries, requiring firmware updates. This includes EP8 (EP801), EP6, E6000, E8000/E8080, E7000 series.
- Master Unit: DU-EP801, DU-EP600, DU-E6000 series, DU-E8000 series, DU-E7000.
- Cycle Computer: SC-E5003, SC-EM800, SC-E7000, SC-E6100, SC-E5000, SC-E5003.
- Assist Switch / Shift Switch: Various SW models (e.g., SW-E6010-L, SW-E7000-R, SW-M9050-R).
- Satellite System ON/OFF Switch: EW-SW300, EW-SW100.
- Rear Shifting System: Includes internal geared hubs (ALFINE, NEXUS) and rear derailleurs.
- PC Linkage Device: SM-PCE02.
Key Gen.1 E-BIKE Limitations:
- Automatic gear shifting is primarily available with internal geared hubs and not with rear derailleurs.
- Specific handlebar types may be required for certain cycle computers (e.g., SC-E5000, SC-E5003).
- Compatibility with Bosch eBike System 2 varies based on line type (Active Line, Performance Line) and coaster brake presence.
- Some units require EW-AD305 for SD50 port connections.
General Notes and Limitations
- The E-TUBE PROJECT software is often required for adjustments, settings, and updates across various systems.
- Specific model numbers (e.g., FOX suspension components) are listed for compatibility with certain e-bike systems.
- Always refer to the specific product manuals and E-TUBE PROJECT application for the most detailed and up-to-date compatibility information.
- The 'Remarks' section in the original charts indicates new and discontinued models (XX-####).
