The new inner cables improve the performance of SHIMANO's new DURA-ACE brake and shifting systems. The secret lies in a new polymer coating that reduces friction. When used with the RD-9000, this cable reduces shifting effort by an impressive 47% compared to the previous cable.
Caution with polymer-coated brake cables
BC-9000 (polymer-coated brake cables) may only be used in combination with
BR-9000 series brakes. With other combinations
the clamping of the brake cable is not tight enough. As a result, the brake cable can
the brake cable may come loose and control of the brake may be lost,
which can lead to serious injuries.
