Stress-free riding with automatic shifting | SHIMANO

Fully automatic shifting and start mode is available with Nexus Inter-5E dynamic internal gear hub, designed specifically for the unique demands of e-bike riding. Automatic shifting provides a smooth and stress-free riding experience by ensuring you are always in the right gear.

With automatic shifting your bike will change gear when you need it to; going up hills or down them, speeding up on the open road or slowing down in traffic. Start mode automatically down-shifts when you come to a stop so you are ready to pedal away with ease and control. With gear shifting done for you city cycling is even more fun and easy!

Lol I work in a factory that makes these, I can clearly see the part I'm machining. Nice to see it being introduced to the market.

I know this takes away a huge aspect of cycling, riding a bicycle with auto gear shifting will probably feel really weird... but you have to admit, that this is a pretty cool gem in terms of engineering and technology!

The bike mechanics' job at the local shop now requires a two year cert from an online tech institute. (It's sarcasm on the internet. You'll figure it out.)

SRAM: Shifting with no cables
Shimano: Shifting with no shifter

For people riding e-bikes this is some real clean engineering by Shimano, always love a new tech from Shimano

[jeffreyreicher]

This is amazing. It would be beyond perfect if it had a belt drive option, no chain maintenance and much cleaner.

[jormakovanen]

Nice job Shimano, been really enjoying my ebike with your parts. Keep making them even better

[keepitreal]

It makes good sense when it's mated with a mid drive motor. Clever bit of engineering!

[toninocars]

This was great and probably the most advanced tech in bikes I have seen to date.

Good luck to anyone who jumps into the first generation of this hub. With the torque that some bikes make, those planetary gears are toast.

I would only get something like this with a Gates Carbon Belt Drive. I have a Specialized Globe Live 3 with an 8-speed Shimano Alfine IGH and a Gates Carbon Belt Drive and it works well, I love it!

Given the fact it's 5-speed innerhub i guess it will be intended for commuters or city-bikes, so there is no point to cry about how it ruins the feel or sportyness of manual shifting. It seems most bikes in those categories get pedalassist electric motors and pairing auto-shift and e-assist will make a beast of a bike, for getting around the city for average Joe. On the other hand, it will be hard to justify spending so much money on the everyday street-parked city-beater bike.

In my Xiaomi Qicycle I am using the Nexus Inter 3 and it is a marvel ... going from 3 to 5 gears would be a pass. The good thing about this system is its almost zero maintenance, visual simplicity, protection against impacts and gear changes while standing still. Greetings

Shimano doing what it does best. Pretty nice man i like how the angle of terrain commands gear change too. This will be popular among older cyclists pretty fast :)

[martin-steiner-photography]

Impressive, it will find its way through doubters soon.

[GoodGuyBiker]

love that it resets when stopped super cool function

[danielbush]

Automatic transmissions for bicycles... wow, this is amazing.

[entingkabesote]

Shimano humble god keep it up👍 cuz i can only afford shimano thank you, hoping all the best 👍

[mwj]

Extraordinary graphics and design, a top notch presentation! I really wish Shimano had the belt-driven option too as they require no lubrication and do not attract dirt and dust like chains do. It's so great they care about quality and great designs for a Green Generation!

Japan. Killing it again. If all is good in the world, there are nerds who will put this on an XC MTB.
