Shimano Polymer Coated Shifter Cable - Y63Z98951 Info

There aren’t too many small parts easier to underestimate than your shifter cables. The Shimano Polymer Coated Shifter Cable Y63Z98951 will be your secret weapon for the consistently perfect gear change.

This is a shifter cable specifically developed for the Shimano Dura-Ace 9000 groupset. Largely as a response to complaints about the 7900 Dura-Ace version, Shimano made certain that their follow-up groupset would be able to bring back the perfect, butter smooth shifting that makes everyone fall in love with Shimano in the first place. They combined polymer coated inner wires with pre-lubricated housing to create super smooth, low friction shift action that also had the added benefit of increasing the service life of the shifting due to the anti-corrosive nature of the set-up. The cable comes 2100mm in length and 1.2mm in diameter.

Shifting cables in cycling are not dissimilar in importance to the cables you use to set up your stereo. Go cheap on the cables, and however great your sound system is, the overall result will be diminished. Here it is the same principle: the polymer coating reduces the sliding resistance of the cable, which gives the shifting a quick and easy feel. With the Shimano Polymer Coated Shifter Cable you will be certain that you are getting the most out of your system.
