FAQ

What does the Optislick coating actually do?: The Optislick polymer coating reduces friction between the inner cable and housing significantly compared to an uncoated stainless cable. This translates to lighter shift action, more consistent indexing under varying cable tension, and slower cable stretch over time.

Is this cable compatible with non-Shimano mechanical shift systems?: Yes. The 1.2mm Optislick cable is compatible with Shimano and most other mechanical shift systems including SRAM and Campagnolo that use standard 1.2mm inner cables.

Does this include shift housing?: No. This is the inner cable only. Compatible shift housing must be purchased separately.

Best For

Road, gravel, and MTB riders on mechanical drivetrains who want a measurable improvement in shift feel and indexing consistency over a standard uncoated cable.
