Shimano's XT Di2 Linkglide: A Game-Changing Auto-Shifting Drivetrain.

Shimano's latest XT Di2 Linkglide electronic drivetrain is designed specifically for e-bikes and offers automatic shifting while coasting and fully automatic mode. The system can be configured in four different ways, and there are two versions of the drivetrain, XT Di2 Hyperglide+ and XT Di2 Linkglide. The setup process requires experimentation to get it personalized for each rider, but the system works well overall. The actual shifting feel on the Linkglide cassette is very good, especially under load. The ideal use case for this technology is electric commuter bikes, but riders can decide which mode best suits their needs.
