Shimano has introduced its Q'AUTO automatic electronic shifting system, specifically designed for commuter, trekking, and gravel bikes. Unlike previous systems that functioned only for e-bikes, Q'AUTO operates autonomously using a dynamo-powered rear hub equipped with sensors that monitor speed, cadence, and terrain gradients. This technology learns the rider's shifting habits, aiming to optimize gear changes and cadence. With a manual override option and vast algorithmic customization, it promises a user-friendly experience that minimizes the need for manual shifting over time.
The Q'AUTO system uses dynamic sensors in the rear hub to automatically shift gears based on terrain and rider preferences, optimizing cadence without needing charging.
Shimano's Q'AUTO automatic shifting technology is now available for non-e-bike bikes, extending features previously limited to electronic systems for improved commuting and trekking.
