Odyssey Brake Cable

The Linear housing is compressionless, which means it won't squish or bind when you turn your handlebars. This is essential for BMX riders who perform full bar spins, as it keeps your brake tension consistent regardless of how many times you rotate the bars.

While both use compressionless housing, the SLS Linear version features a special coated inner cable. This coating reduces friction even further, resulting in a noticeably smoother and more responsive brake pull.

Yes, the Race Linear version uses an aluminum casing instead of steel, which helps shave off weight. It is a great choice if you are building a lightweight race setup and want to save every gram possible.

No, you don't need to worry about that. All Odyssey Slic cables come pre-stretched from the factory, so you won't experience that annoying brake slack that often develops shortly after installing a new cable.

These cables are specifically engineered for BMX geometry and braking systems. While the diameter is standard, the housing length and cable ends are optimized for BMX setups, so they may not be compatible with the cable routing or lever types found on mountain or road bikes.
