for MTB transmission shimano used two different terms to brand front and rear technologies:
front tech (chainring and chain) - Dynamic Chain Engagment Plus
rear tech (cassette and chain) - HYPERGLIDE+
for ROAD transmission it is one term for both cassette tech and derailleur tech, is has a new meaning, but they forgot to use "2.0" or "II" in title of term
(similar to HOLLOWTECH II and HOLLOWTECH terms that have very different meaning)
