Overview

Why Is the Shimano STEPS CN-E6070-9 the Right Chain for Single-Ring E-Bike Builds?

The Shimano STEPS CN-E6070-9 is a purpose-built 9-speed e-bike chain designed specifically for single-chainring Shimano STEPS e-bike drivetrain systems. Its new plate dimension is engineered to handle the elevated torque demands of motor-assisted riding that would accelerate wear on a standard chain. Built for the STEPS ecosystem, it delivers the compatibility and durability that single-ring e-bike setups require for reliable, long-term performance.

Compatible with Shimano STEPS single-chainring 9-speed e-bike drivetrains. Ships at 138 links. A Shimano connecting pin or compatible quick-link is required for installation and is not included.

What makes the CN-E6070-9 different from a standard 9-speed chain?

The CN-E6070-9 uses a new plate dimension engineered for single-chainring e-bike drivetrains and the sustained torque loads of motor-assisted riding. Standard 9-speed chains are not rated for e-bike use and will wear faster under motor torque.

Is the CN-E6070-9 compatible with Shimano STEPS E6000 series motors?

Yes. The CN-E6070-9 is designed for use with Shimano STEPS city and trekking e-bike systems including the E6000 and E6100 series running a single-chainring 9-speed configuration.

Does this chain come with a connecting pin or quick-link?

No. A Shimano connecting pin or compatible quick-link must be purchased separately.
