The Jagwire Sport Slick road brake cable represents the perfect balance between performance, durability and value for money. Made from extruded stainless steel with Slick treatment, this 1.5 mm × 2000 mm cable offers precise and reliable braking for SRAM and Shimano road systems. Thanks to its advanced manufacturing process (pre-stretching and die extrusion), it guarantees optimal friction reduction and exceptional corrosion resistance, making it the preferred choice of demanding cyclists and professional workshops.

Slick Stainless Technology: performance and longevity

• Die-extruded stainless steel: The extrusion process eliminates all roughness and irregularities from the cable, creating a perfectly smooth surface that drastically reduces friction inside the housing. This Slick finish guarantees smooth and progressive braking even after thousands of kilometers.
• Optimal pre-stretching: Each cable is pre-stretched at the factory to eliminate any subsequent elongation under tension, thus ensuring dimensional stability and limiting maintenance adjustments. You benefit from consistent braking and extended service life.
• Superior corrosion resistance: Stainless steel offers natural protection against oxidation, ideal for riding in all weather conditions. Unlike basic galvanized cables, the Sport Slick maintains its performance over time, even in wet or saline conditions.

Compatibility and standards

• SRAM/Shimano road compatibility: Simple end cap specifically designed for SRAM and Shimano road brake levers, ensuring optimal positioning and operation.
• Universal diameter and length: The 1.5 mm diameter is the standard for road braking systems. The 2000 mm length suits all types of road bikes, whether compact, semi-compact frames or sloping geometries.
• Weld-cut finish: The welded-cut end cap facilitates installation and prevents fraying when inserting into housings and levers, for professional, snag-free assembly.

Sport Slick cable highlights

• Sport level: Ideal positioning between basic OEM cables and Pro/Elite ranges. Significantly superior quality to original cables for a very reasonable extra cost.
• Controlled weight: At only 26.7 g, this cable contributes to overall weight optimization without compromising robustness.
• Versatile use: Suitable for both leisure riding and intensive training, sportives and long-distance rides. Appreciated by professional mechanics for its excellent performance/price ratio.
• Jagwire manufacturing: World leader in cycle cabling, Jagwire is recognized for its high quality standards and mastery of manufacturing processes. Original equipment supplier to major brands (Giant, Trek, Specialized, Cannondale, BMC, Scott…).

Installation and maintenance

The Sport Slick cable installs easily thanks to its weld-cut finish and smooth surface that glides effortlessly through housings. For maximum performance, it is recommended to pair it with Jagwire brake housings of equivalent quality (Sport or Pro) and apply a thin layer of compatible lubricant before assembly. Check the cable condition regularly and replace it if visible wear or corrosion appears, even minimal.
