Cables by drive system

  • Bosch Smart System (BES3) from model year 2022 → B3F1CT1Bc130bs/bw, 1300 mm
  • Shimano (open end → CT1B) → SHCT1Bc130/190/230 bs/bw
  • Yamaha PW-X3 / PW Series S2 → YX2YCT1Bc130bs/bw, 1300 mm
  • Avinox M1 & M2 → AVHG01CT1Bc40b-Fes/Few, 400 mm (Micro M → CT1B)

If the existing CT1 run is too short, extend it with CAc30ct1Act1Bbs/bw (CT1A to CT1B, 300 mm).

We verify connector compatibility ourselves (as of 2026-07-30). That means the mechanical and electrical plug interface — not further properties of the drive or the headlight. Before installation, check the requirements of the drive system and the lighting. If you are unsure, contact us or have the work done by a specialist workshop.

CT1B plug

On the light side of our system cables sits the CT1B plug (HIGO Micro B Male compatible) — matching headlights with a CT1 plug.
