New: Rohloff E-14 2.0 Now Available as DS (Direct Shifting) – Compatible with Brose and Bafang
The proven electronic shifting system Rohloff E-14 2.0 is now also available as a DS (Direct Shifting) version. This new variant enables even more direct and precise control and integrates seamlessly with selected Brose and Bafang motor systems via the motor’s cut-off port.
⚠️ Note: This feature is OEM-exclusive and not available as a retrofit option.
How it works with Bafang:
- Connection via the motor’s cut-off port
- When the trigger is activated, an analog signal is sent to the motor
- The motor reduces assistance to 0% for 200 milliseconds
- The gear shift occurs during this brief moment. We recommend briefly refraining from pedaling for the smoothest shifting experience
- Ideal shifting moment: crank in vertical (dead point) position
- Gear indication via the Rohloff E-14 App 2.0
How it works with Brose:
- Connection via the cut-off port
- Analog signal triggered by the Rohloff switch unit
- Motor support drops to 0% for 500 milliseconds
- Briefly stop pedaling – ideally at the crank’s dead point – for best shifting performance
- Gear display shown in the Rohloff E-14 App 2.0
With the new Direct Shifting version of the Rohloff E-14 2.0, electronic shifting becomes even more responsive, smooth, and seamlessly integrated – tailored for today’s Brose and Bafang e-bike systems.
- The first manufacturers to offer the new Rohloff E-14 DS feature are HPC Bikes and PRO Active.
