Assist profile
On assist bicycles with cycle computers, you can select from two assist profiles, [BASIC] and [Fine tune], that
determine the riding comfort. In addition, by connecting to E-TUBE PROJECT, you can perform a wider range of
customization than before.

combinations is set by default:

With its lightweight and compact design, the drive unit is meant to provide a bicycle-like feel with reduced
operation noise and powerful output.
Improved customization
Automatic gear shifting is compatible with both the assist profile and the rear derailleur, enabling a wide
range of customization.
