Is the Shimano EP8 good?
EP8 delivers significant performance improvements with higher peak torque, greater range, lower driving noise, better heat resistance, and reduced drag. Both the EP8 and the EP801 deliver 85Nm of maximum torque—plenty for you to handle steep climbs and technical trails like a champ. However, as far as peak power goes, the EP8 kicks out 500 watts while the EP801 promises 600 watts.
