How to get your Di2 bike ready to ride (11-speed)

Electronic Shimano Di2 gears must be connected to the battery and charged during initial assembly. Find out how it works for Shimano Di2 11-speed shifting systems here.

• Di2 plug tool
• Torque wrench
• Di2 power supply

This tutorial describes the connection and charging process for fully wired Di2 systems (11-speed, wired). For other shifting systems, go to the overview and select the right model.

• The battery is located in the seat post for Di2 11-speed gears and must be connected with a cable in the seat tube.
• To do this, attach the Di2 tool to the plug head and insert it into the holder on the Di2 battery. Then remove the Di2 tool.

• Slide the seat post into the seat tube. Make sure that the zip tie is not pinched in the process.
• Position the seat post at the correct seat height and secure it using the clamp screw.
• Finally, tighten the screw to the required torque using the torque wrench.

• Remove the protective cap from the charging port at the handlebar end.
• Connect the charging cable to the charging port and plug the mains plug into a socket.
• The charging process starts and is indicated by coloured LEDs on the power supply and the handlebar plug.
• Allow the battery to charge fully and do not forget to place the protective plug on the charging port after disconnecting the mains adapter.
