The DU-EP600 pairs with Shimano Di2 electronic drivetrains — including DEORE XT Di2 with HyperGlide+ and LinkGlide — to unlock FREE SHIFT (gear changes without pedalling) and AUTO SHIFT (automatic gear selection based on speed and cadence with manual override). All system settings are managed wirelessly through the Shimano E-Tube Project app, enabling fine-tuning of power profiles, assist mode behaviour, and firmware updates.

Built around a rigid cast aluminium body, the EP6 is engineered for all-weather riding. The CAN bus architecture enables integration with third-party display and sensor accessories, while the ACC port expands system flexibility for builders and OEM applications.
