Shimano Dura-Ace OT-SP41 Derailleur Cable

The polymer coating significantly reduces friction between the cable and the housing. This results in much lighter, smoother shifting action and faster, more precise gear changes compared to standard uncoated cables.

Yes, they are compatible with Shimano XTR M9000 and XT M8000 mountain bike groupsets, in addition to road groupsets like Dura-Ace and Ultegra 6800. Always verify your specific derailleur type to ensure compatibility.

While these cables are designed to work best with Shimano's OT-SP41 housing, they can technically be used with other brands. However, for the smoothest performance and to prevent premature wear of the polymer coating, using the recommended Shimano housing is strongly advised.

This specific set includes the inner cables only. You will need to purchase the derailleur housing separately if you are planning a full replacement of your shifting system.

Standard cable cutters are sufficient, but you must use sharp, high-quality cutters to ensure a clean cut without fraying the stainless steel ends. Avoid using pliers, as they will crush the housing and damage the internal liner.
