Dura Ace and XTR range, polymer coating
How can you maintain perfect indexing on your Shimano drivetrain? By using a derailleur cable with very low friction resistance. This Shimano Dura Ace/XTR version is the best performing in its class.

Improve the precision of your gear changes with the Shimano Dura-Ace Y63Z98950 derailleur cable, designed to offer top-level performance on both road and gravel. Derived from the top-of-the-range Dura-Ace and Ultegra groupsets, this cable benefits from a special polymer treatment that drastically reduces friction for smoother, faster and quieter gear changes.
Made from stainless steel with a high-tech polymer coating, it offers excellent durability and increased resistance to corrosion. This treatment also reduces the effort required on the levers, improving comfort on long rides.
With a length of 2100 mm and a standard diameter of 1.2 mm, it is compatible with the majority of Shimano road drivetrains (excluding Campagnolo) and is suitable for both front and rear derailleurs.

What is the life expectancy?
Very good in normal conditions, but the coating may wear over time with intensive use.
