RIDER SYNERGY (RS):The most natural and responsive pedal assist and the longest-range battery in its class for the most epic adventures.
RS GEN2 MC:This is our new firmware that works in conjunction with the smart sensors integrated into the Shimano EP motor. The RS Gen2 is the evolution of the first generation of RS firmware, featuring a completely new communication protocol between the motor and the battery. This allows for even more precise adjustment of motor output, while increasing maximum torque to 85 Nm. The result is even more natural assistance, even at low cadences. This performance would not have been possible without Shimano’s advanced sensors and our proprietary firmware
WHAT’S DIFFERENT FROM THE PREVIOUS GENERATION OF RS?In addition to an even faster and more precise motor response, the increased torque provides even more assistance. This is especially noticeable at low cadences, where the motor responds with even greater power, making you feel every trail or steep climb in a more natural way. You can easily identify the firmware generation (Gen1 or Gen2) by the RS logo on the motor. The RS Gen1 is blue, while the Gen2 has a red “S.”
WHAT DOES MC MEAN?It’s our motor configuration for Sendero riding. MC stands for Mountain Control, and it offers even more assistance and control than ever before. In the future, if we use our RS firmware for any other category, we’ll use these letters (MC) to avoid potential confusion.
RS AND RS+?On the previous Rise, these settings were Profile 1 and 2; however, with the new firmware, we can rename the profiles. Thanks to the flexibility offered by the new firmware, we can configure the maximum torque up to 85 Nm, making these two profiles more important than ever. The Rise comes preconfigured with these two different options to offer two distinct riding experiences:
RS mode offers up to 54 Nm of torque. This provides the most responsive and natural assistance to maximize battery range for longer rides. In this mode, the new Rise will feel very similar to the previous model.
RS+ mode delivers up to 85 Nm, providing more assistance at low cadences. This offers the most natural experience on technical trails or steep climbs, where cadences tend to be lower. The Rise comes standard in RS mode, but it only takes 30 seconds to switch between assistance modes using the Shimano e-Tube app
CAN I CHANGE THE SETTINGS FOR EACH MODE?: Yes, thanks to Shimano’s e-Tube app, you have full control
