M8000 is the Shimano XT MTB 11-speed groupset.

Oops! You are right, I'm talking about the Shimano STePS E8000. For some reason I thought it was "M" for Mountain. My bad. I'm the king of typos, believe me (as Trump would say). Lol... (EDITED PRIOR POSTS - THX)

The original Shimano STePS on the Raleigh Misceo iE is different than the new Shimano STePS E8000 which is (IIRC) the off-road version of the STePS system. I don't believe they are the same, as the original was not rated for "off-road" use.

That Trek you posted probably has the same original STePS system as the Raleigh, not the new E8000 MTB version.
