I posted a similar thread in the Specialized forum but I think this is more of a general question as it can really apply to all EMTBs. I am competent at reducing the torque on my cranks when I downshift on hills on a regular MTB, but I have found it essentially impossible to downshift on a hill with my Levo SL without it feeling really hard on the chain and cassette. I can tell these won't last very long at this rate and I am curious if those of you with electronic shift systems like SRAM AXS still have this problem? I have heard that it times the shifts to be much less stressful on the drivetrain, which to me would mean a much better fit for an e-bike.
Anyone have experience riding with both and care to share if the electronic shift systems are in fact much easier on the drive train on EMTBs?
Thanks!
