Rohloff E-14 upgrade for Bosch Smart System SX motor

The BOSCH Smart System ‘SX motor’ with Rohloff E-14: Greater sportiness and improved ergonomics!

Quick and easy electronic shifting of a Rohloff SPEEDHUB 500/14 has been possible with the push of a button, since the introduction of the E-14 electronic shifting mechanism back in 2017. Regardless of whether a single shift, multishift or auto-downshift, the E-14 system enables maximum shifting comfort in all conditions.
The Rohloff E-14 system has been improved for MY25 – now also harmonizing with the smart Bosch SX motor. This light, yet powerful motor is becoming more and more commonplace, particularly in MTB and gravel segments of cycle sport, so its inclusion in the E-14 motor family was only a matter of time. The Bosch SX motor is now optimally complemented with the Rohloff E-14 electronic shifting system and works hand in hand thanks to the new “Rohloff E-14 DC-CAN adapter2” (Art.#8802-05).

Ceramic capacitors within the ‘Rohloff E-14 DC-CAN Adapter2’ ensure a stable power supply for the Rohloff E-14 during a shift. This now permits the E-14 system to plug into the Bosch Component Connector (BCC), without fear of component damage.

This option will be available immediately for those running flat-bars with the already available and well-known E-14 Switch Unit (Art.#8801). An electric trigger shifter (Art. 8801-04) will be offered as an additional flat-bar option as of Fall 2024.

E-14 in combination with dropbars

For those who appreciate fast gravel laps, bikepacking, or merely the various hand positions offered by use of a drop-bar, we are also pleased to announce E-14 compatibility with the ‘TRP Hywire’ brifter
Thanks to a collaboration with the brake specialist TRP, we managed to develop a solution to ensure the TRP Hywire can be used as an alternative E-14 shifter, offering dropbar fans the option of running this handlebar style, whilst retaining the ergonomics of commonly placed controls.

In order to use the “TRP BRIFTER” with your E-14 system, you need require the appropriate E-14 adapter cable (Art.#8812). This component will be available as of Q4 2024.

New Rohloff Tool for Enhanced Workshop Support

Providing more support for specialty retailers, faster service, and happier customers.

With the new Rohloff Sprocket Carrier Removal Tool (Art.#8522), workshops are empowered, to get customers get back on the road as quickly as possible. This tool will ensure a workshops ability to remove the carrier, regardless of whether using a Splined Carrier, or Splined Lockring Carrier. Replacement can now easily be done on-site in the workshop, even with a stuck or worn Rohloff Splined Carrier.

Where it was previously necessary to ship the SPEEDHUB to Rohloff to remove a stuck Carrier, this new tool will eliminate that time-consuming process entirely. "We are not only aiding retailers with the ability to show their competence, but also resolving potential issues more quickly and effectively through direct consumer interaction", explains Rohloff's product management.

The Rohloff Sprocket Carrier Removal Tool (Art.#8522) is designed to be used together with the Rohloff Lock-Ring Tool (Art.#8518), and a standard ½” impact driver.

As expected from Rohloff: Quality Made in Germany.

New Automatic Functions for Rohloff E-14 2.0 in the Bosch Smart System

Just in time for EUROBIKE 2025, Rohloff and Bosch present a major upgrade for the
electronic shifting system E-14 2.0:

New automatic functions make the interaction with the Bosch Smart System even
smarter and more intuitive – for a distraction-free riding experience in every
situation.
These new features offer riders more comfort, control, and customization. Three
clearly defined shifting functions are available:

⚙️ Three Functions – Tailored to Your Riding Style

A – Automatic-Function
If you want a more relaxed ride, you can let eShift shift gears for
you. Just set your desired cadence in the eBike Flow app or your
connected display. If the gear selected isn't ideal, you can shift gears
yourself at any time and temporarily override the automatic shifting
to suit your riding situation.

M+ – Automatic
M+ adds an additional automatic feature to eShift when shifting gears
manually. When coasting, the eBike shifts gears automatically for you
to match your per-determined cadence. While pedaling, you shift
gears yourself as usual – ideal for trail use!

M – Manuell
Focus on the trail, shift at the touch of a button: The motor reduces the
assistance briefly and the gear is engaged. If you press and hold the
lever, eShift with Rohloff E-14 2.0 quickly shifts several gears in
succession (Multi-shift). You can also shift while coasting – ideal for
restarting after a downhill section, or after coming to a stop.

🔄 Cadence selection

in 5 RPM steps (via Flow App or Display)

🔁 Switching between the 3 Bosch functions:

• With Rohloff trigger (8801-04): press both levers (thumb + index finger)
  simultaneously
• With TRP Hywire shifters: press both shift buttons at the same time

📅 Availability
from 10/2025 (Model Year 2026)

👉 Requires software updates for both Bosch and Rohloff systems

The new Rohloff E-14 Trigger Shifter (Art. 8801-04) will expand the Rohloff range for MY 2025 and elevate the ergonomics of the E-14 system to a new level. For further improved comfort, the E-14 2.0 App will even permit E-14 2.0 users to decide which lever shifts in which direction, by simply inverting the shift direction.
"In typical Rohloff fashion, we have created an E-14 Trigger Shifter that offers true added value," explains Rohloff's product management. "Designed for maximum durability both mechanically and electronically - of course, completely Made in Germany. This allows us to achieve our self-imposed sustainability goals, but also provide E-14 SPEEDHUB users with a relaxed and precise shifting experience."
The new Trigger is retrofittable to all existing Rohloff E-14 / Bosch combinations and can be easily self-installed via our user-friendly plug-and-play design.
An E-14 firmware update will be required via the "Rohloff E-14 1.0 Classic App" before this trigger will function for owners of the older E-14 system (E-14 1.0 (Bosch BES2)).

This App is free and downloadable from the Google Play Store for Android devices.
The Trigger (Art. 8801-04) will be available for individual purchase expectedly from Q4-2024.
