E-14 in combination with dropbars and Bosch Smart System SX motor
Rohloff E-14 upgrade for Bosch Smart System SX motor
The BOSCH Smart System ‘SX motor’ with Rohloff E-14: Greater sportiness and improvedergonomics!
Quick and easy electronic shifting of a Rohloff SPEEDHUB 500/14 has been possible with the push of a button, since the introduction of the E-14 electronic shifting mechanism back in 2017. Regardless of whether a single shift, multishift or auto-downshift, the E-14 system enables maximum shifting comfort in all conditions.
The Rohloff E-14 system has been improved for MY25 – now also harmonizing with the smart Bosch SX motor. This light, yet powerful motor is becoming more and more commonplace, particularly in MTB and gravel segments of cycle sport, so its inclusion in the E-14 motor family was only a matter of time. The Bosch SX motor is now optimally complemented with the Rohloff E-14 electronic shifting system and works hand in hand thanks to the new “Rohloff E-14 DC-CAN adapter2” (Art.#8802-05). Ceramic capacitors within the ‘Rohloff E-14 DC-CAN Adapter2’ ensure a stable power supply for the Rohloff E-14 during a shift. This now permits the E-14 system to plug into the Bosch Component Connector (BCC), without fear of component damage. This option will be available immediately for those running flat-bars with the already available and well-known E-14 Switch Unit (Art.#8801). An electric trigger shifter (Art. 8801-04) will be offered as an additional flat-bar option as of Fall 2024.
E-14 in combination with dropbars
For those who appreciate fast gravel laps, bikepacking, or merely the various hand positions offered by use of a drop-bar, we are also pleased to announce E-14 compatibility with the ‘TRP Hywire’ brifter
Thanks to a collaboration with the brake specialist TRP, we managed to develop a solution to ensure the TRP Hywire can be used as an alternative E-14 shifter, offering dropbar fans the option of running this handlebar style, whilst retaining the ergonomics of commonly placed controls.
In order to use the “TRP BRIFTER” with your E-14 system, you need require the appropriate E-14 adapter cable (Art.#8812). This component will be available as of Q4 2024.
