    Shimano EP801 and Bosch CX Race - drivetrain killers?

    I think the Bosch Performance CX Race has been doing okay, I haven’t seen a huge rush of people reporting bent cogs and broken chains. But I suspect that’s because this limited-edition motor has only been sold on expensive bikes with top-of-the line drivetrains. It seems the Sram Transmission...
  2. Testing the new Shimano EP801 motor overrun – software 4.3.0

    Testing the new Shimano EP801 motor overrun – software 4.3.0

    Not too long ago, we tested how the motor overrun worked on the Shimano EP801. Shimano never really had motor overrun. But that changed at some point. We found there was some, but only in the Boost mode. And it could be a bit difficult accessing the overrun. Shortly after, Shimano released the...

    Trek rail or Ari timp peak

    I need some help deciding, I currently own a 2022 rail 9.8 Bosch motor and lately I’ve been wanting to sell the bike and try the Ari timp peak. I haven’t tried the shimano motor, is it similar to the Bosch regarding annoying rattle noise? I heard the ep801 does not rattle when not pedaling...

  4. A new Shimano software update brings motor overrun settings for the EP801

    A new Shimano software update brings motor overrun settings for the EP801

    Shimano just dropped the 4.3.0 update for the EP801 and EP600 motors. I usually don't do articles about software updates, unless it’s something very interesting. The Auto Shift ver. 2.2 might be big news, it remains to be seen. The carry over settings definitely seem interesting. Motor overrun...

    EP801 4 Month Review

    I've had my EP801 powered Polygon Collosus n8e for four months now and have ridden everything from flat xc trails, black diamond rocky/rooty hills, and man made jump lines. Short bike review, it's awesome. Very stable on the down hills, playfully maneuverable in the twisties, maintains traction...

    E-Tube Ride app di2 control

    So I was trying to find a better use for the extra button that is on the di2 shifter. On my YT Decoy Core 5 with EP801 and the 12-speed di2 the button was set up to switch between gear shifting modes. But I never switch between those modes (always run freeshift) so I set out to find a better...

    Derestrict Shimano EP801

    What software can I use to safely derestrict this shimano motor, I only want to change the speed assist limit from UK to US regional settings. Also if I was to run into troubles and changed it back to UK to be sent off would this still void the warranty, TIA.

    Is this normal on new Spectral ON CF8?

    It has the new EP80001 motor. Is it normal that it sits so far in or recessed in the frame? Worried about debris and water going in.
  9. The 2024 Canyon Torque:ON CF finally gets the EP801 motor

    The 2024 Canyon Torque:ON CF finally gets the EP801 motor

    The new Canyon Torque:ON CF was introduced earlier this year. But, as opposed to the new Spectral:ON CF/CFR, the Torque:ON was equipped with the old Shimano EP8 (EP800). Canyon said the Torque:ON was designed to use the new EP8 (EP801), but they never said when that would happen. It was...

    Reliability of Shimano vs. Bosch?

    I'm sure we've all seen some comments of people stating that Shimano is unreliable motor without any potential service options, but is that really true? Does anyone really have some issues with it on a longer term , and is it true it cannot be serviced? I'm asking real owners not internet specs...

    Testing the Shimano XT Di2 Auto Shift – automatic shifting

    Automatic shifting, on an emtb, who asked for that? I never found an automatic transmission in a car that shifted the way I wanted. Why would this work on an emtb? Check out my video, or keep reading below. Well, riding no-hands I forgot about shifting. Coming through corners and into steep...
