Overview

Why Is the Shimano STEPS CN-E6090-10 Built for E-Bike Drivetrains?

The Shimano STEPS CN-E6090-10 is a dedicated 10-speed e-bike chain engineered specifically for use with Shimano STEPS e-bike drivetrain systems. Designed to handle the sustained torque demands of motor-assisted riding, the E6090-10 receives SIL-TEC treatment on its pin link and roller link plates for increased durability and reduced friction, critical for an e-bike chain that works harder and sees higher loads than a standard drivetrain chain. Purpose-built for the STEPS ecosystem, it delivers the reliability and longevity that e-bike use demands.

Compatible with Shimano STEPS E-BIKE 10-speed drivetrain systems. Ships at 138 links.
