Shimano Road/MTB Optislick Coated Inner Gear Cable
- OPTISLICK coated inner wire
- Stainless steel construction
- 1.2mm x 2100mm
The Shimano Road/MTB Optislick Coated Inner Gear Cable is a stainless steel replacement cable made for smooth, low-friction shifting on road and MTB drivetrains. Its OPTISLICK coating helps the cable move cleanly through the outer, so each shift feels light and direct. The anti-corrosion stainless steel build also supports longer service life in regular use.
Key Features and Benefits:
- OPTISLICK coated inner wire: The low-friction coating helps the cable slide more freely through the outer, which reduces drag at the shifter and mech. This gives a smoother shift action with less effort at the lever.
- Stainless steel construction: The cable is made from stainless steel to resist corrosion from road spray, dirt, and wet conditions. This helps keep shifting more consistent over time and reduces the need for early replacement.
- Precision ground round profile: The round, smooth cable surface helps reduce friction inside the housing. This supports clean cable movement, which helps the front or rear mech respond with better accuracy.
- Front or rear mech compatibility: The 1.2mm x 2100mm cable is long enough for front or rear derailleur use and can be cut to fit. This makes it a practical replacement for road, gravel, hybrid, and MTB setups when used with SP41 gear cable outer.
A smooth gear cable helps restore crisp shifting when old cables feel stiff, worn, or slow to respond. This Shimano inner cable is designed to work with systems such as XT M8000, 105 5800, and Tiagra groupsets, giving a reliable fit for many Shimano drivetrains. Its coated finish, stainless steel build, and long cut-to-fit length make it a strong choice for routine service work or a drivetrain refresh.
Choose the Shimano Road/MTB Optislick Coated Inner Gear Cable for a simple upgrade that helps your gears feel smoother, cleaner, and more reliable with every shift.

This also means an express delivery service is unavailable. We strive to despatch bikes within 3-5 working days. Please note this may change over school holidays and the festive season (November/December). For more information on the process please visit our pre-build page.
