Though the technology on bicycles have changed a lot in the recent decades, most of them still use cable actuated brakes and gears. This shows how significant the need for improving the performance, costing and efficiency of cable housings. Tremendous research and technology goes in this areas and amazing innovations are made. Let's see how much detailing has done by a single company in cables alone in this article.
Brake and Shift Inner Wire
These ultra-slick stainless cables deliver the ultimate low-friction performance. Rather than using a coating, the Elite Ultra-Slick cables are polished to an even higher level than our Pro Slick cables. Compatible with any housing and lubricant, these Elite level cables deliver incredibly accurate, smooth performance.

STS-EL - pre-stretched, highly polished, uncoated slick stainless steel spiral-bound cables
Brake and Shift Inner Wire
Slick stainless cables undergo a polishing process to further remove imperfections. This creates a smoother surface with lower friction than PTFE-coated cables. With no coating, these are highly durable and compatible with all performance housings and lubricants. Typically used on high-end bikes, by riders wanting improved performance. Gold tint is applied for easy identification.

STS-PS - pre-stretched, polished, slick stainless steel spiral-bound cables
Dropper Inner Wire
Spiral-bound stainless cables undergo a polishing process to remove imperfections, and the 0.8mm diameter improves flexibility and further reduces friction. With no coating to wear off, these cables provide long-lasting performance. STR-PS cables are designed for use only with dropper seatposts and remote levers. Gold tint is applied for easy identification.

Brake and Shift Inner Wire
An upgrade from basic cables, these galvanized and stainless steel strands are pre-stretched, then extruded through a die that removes the rough edges resulting in a smooth surface that reduces friction along the length of the cable. These cables are the most popular choice for riders balancing performance, durability and cost. The stainless steel option offers greater resistance to corrosion.
