• A reinforced Shimano chain for 9-speed electric bikes

  The Shimano CN-E6070-9 9-speed chain – 138 links – is specially designed for E-Bike Shimano with a single chainring. Thanks to its reinforced design, it is suited to the additional stresses generated by electric assistance and offers reliable power transfer for both everyday commuting and sports rides.

  Part number ICNE60709138I, this chain features a specific design with a new plate dimension tailored for e-bike drivetrains. It uses the HG 9-speed standard and is available in a 138-link length, making it suitable for a range of e-bike configurations.

  The CN-E6070-9 is particularly suitable for the Shimano STEPS E6000 and E8000 1x9-speed systems, and is also a suitable solution for various compatible 9-speed drivetrains.

  A chain designed to withstand the stresses of an e-bike

  An e-bike places greater demands on the drivetrain than a conventional pedal-powered bike, particularly due to the additional torque transmitted by the motor.

  The Shimano CN-E6070-9 has been developed specifically to meet these demands. Its ‘ E-Bike ’ design and specially sized plates ensure a chain suited to use with electric assistance. Shimano the product reference as an HG 9-speed chain E-Bike Design.

  It is therefore a suitable choice for replacing a worn chain on an e-bike fitted with a compatible 1x9 drivetrain.

  138 links for great versatility

  With its 138 links, this version is longer than many standard chains. It is therefore suitable for a range of frame geometries and drivetrain configurations, particularly on certain electric mountain bikes and trekking bikes.

  However, the chain must be set to the correct length during fitting. The number of links required depends on the chainstay length, the size of the chainring and the size of the cassette.

  Shimano ’s chain for e-bikes, mountain bikes and sports use

  The CN-E6070-9 is particularly well-suited to bikes fitted with a 1x9-speed drivetrain. In particular, it can be used on Shimano STEPS systems designed for urban e-bikes, trekking bikes or mountain bikes.

  It may also appeal to cyclists looking for a reinforced chain for regular and demanding use.

Expert tip: before ordering, check three essential points: 9-speed rear derailleur, single chainring at the front and drivetrain compatibility. For an e-bike fitted with a compatible Shimano STEPS 1x9 system, the CN-E6070-9 is a sensible choice.

Also remember to check the chain for wear regularly. A chain that is too worn can accelerate wear on the chainring and cassette and impair the quality of gear changes.
