A mid-drive motor puts its power through the chain, and shifting under full power is hard on it. This sensor tells a CAN-protocol Bafang motor when you change gear, so it pauses for a moment and the chain moves across smoothly.

  • Momentary motor pause: drive eases off briefly during each shift.
  • Less drivetrain wear: easier on the chain, cassette and chainring.
  • Bafang CAN compatible: works with all CAN-protocol Bafang mid-drive motors.

Fitting

Fitting involves the gear cable and the motor's wiring, so it's a workshop job. Tune Cycles can fit it and set the shifting up properly.

Fit and compatibility

Suits all CAN-protocol Bafang mid-drives, including the M210 (Cruiser X ST), M410 (Adventurer X ST) and M510 (Ascent X). It isn't listed for hub-drive models; the Ascent 29 also has a shift sensor, but it's a hub-drive bike, so this one isn't for it.

Ask us if you're not sure which sensor your bike uses.
