Shimano STEPS CN-E8000 11-speed Chain for E-Bikes

Shimano STEPS 11-speed Chain CN-E8000 - Extra reinforced for e-bikes

The Shimano STEPS CN-E8000 11-speed chain in the chain pin version is a special chain for e-bikes. It has been specially reinforced for use with motorised bicycles. The SIL-TEC fluorine particle coating is used on the outer straps, which ensures less friction and less wear. CN-E8000 chains are directional, which must be taken into account during installation. There is also a version with a master link.

Technology:

HG-X11
HG-X11 chains from Shimano are 11-speed chains with directional binding. The outside has been optimised for shifting the chainring, the inside for shifting the cassette. This makes for smoother gear changes and higher drivetrain performance overall. Since correct assembly is crucial, Shimano has marked the sides of the chain.

SIL-TEC
SIL-TEC is a fluorine particle-based surface coating from Shimano. It results in smoother, lower friction operation and less contamination. This makes maintenance easier, reduces wear and extends the service life of SIL-TEC components.
