Since 1995, Jagwire has built high-quality components for shifting and braking systems — and is now spec'd on production bikes from Giant, Trek, and Cannondale. In the aftermarket, you'll find everything from routine maintenance to full custom builds. That means shift and brake cables, housing, the Hyflow hydraulic line series, brake pads, tools, and bleed kits. Mechanical cable systems are compatible with Shimano, SRAM, and Campagnolo groupsets and come in four clearly defined performance levels — Basic, Sport, Pro, and Elite — as complete sets or individual components.

Jagwire hydraulic solutions use the Quick-Fit system for broad compatibility across brake systems from Shimano, SRAM, Magura, Formula, Hayes, Hope, and Tektro. Whatever your setup, there's a Jagwire solution that fits – functional, durable, and dialed for your bike.

Dial in your setup for performance, durability, and your own look. "Make it Jagwire.

Key Jagwire technologies

Inner cable, liner, and housing — that's where Jagwire's technology stands out. The focus throughout is clear: consistently low friction across the full cable pull, and solid protection against dirt and moisture. Everything is tiered by application — from a durable everyday setup to a race-ready tuning level with maximum sealing and minimum weight.

Jagwire performance levels

Four performance levels — pick the one that fits your riding, your setup, and your budget. Basic covers reliable function for everyday bikes and budget builds. Sport adds durability, more color options, and pre-lubed liners for smoother feel. Pro steps it up: polished slick inner cables, Slick-Lube liners, and premium LEX-SL and CGX-SL housing cut friction noticeably and sharpen both shift precision and brake modulation. Elite is the full upgrade — Ultra-Slick-polished inner cables, continuous or sealed liners, and the choice between Elite Link for maximum flexibility or Elite Sealed for maximum protection against dirt and weather.

Elite Sealed: Sealed end to end

The Elite Sealed Kit runs a continuous Slick-Lube liner from lever to derailleur or caliper, combined with Grub Seals at both ends. Spray, mud, and dust stay out — without adding noticeable friction. For you, that means consistently precise shift feel over many kilometers, even in wet conditions, winter riding, or on gravel — less maintenance, more riding. Optional lightweight XEX shift housing also trims overall weight.

Elite Link: Segmented housing for your build

Elite Link strings aluminum links over a continuous liner, segment by segment. Fit it to your cockpit without any special tools — Just add or remove links as needed — no tools required. The whole system is around 50% lighter than conventional shift housing and, thanks to anodized colors, looks like a natural part of the frame. Built for custom builds, show bikes, and high-end setups where weight and aesthetics are the priority.

Hyflow hydraulic lines

The Hyflow range covers brake lines by the meter and pre-made solutions — Kevlar-reinforced or armored outer jackets, depending on what you need. Available in colors from classic black to bold accents for custom setups. Compatible banjos and olives for Shimano, SRAM, Magura, Formula, TRP, and other systems are available individually or as sets — clean line routing with full flexibility across brands.

Pro Bleed Kits: Bleed any system

Two bleed kits cover the most common hydraulic disc brake systems. The Pro DOT Bleed Kit includes adapters for Avid, SRAM, Formula, Hayes, and Hope. The Pro Mineral Oil Bleed Kit is compatible with Shimano, Magura, Tektro, and Giant according to Jagwire; dealer information also covers TRP and select Hayes models. Color-coded so you don't mix them up: red for mineral oil, black for DOT.

Frequently asked questions about Jagwire


Which Jagwire kit suits which discipline?

Performance levels are about how hard you ride and what you need, not what discipline you're in. For everyday bikes and budget builds, Sport is more than enough. Pro is the sweet spot for trail, road, and gravel riders who ride regularly. Elite Link and Elite Sealed are for bike builders, race setups, and MTB tuners who need maximum performance or sealing.

Are Jagwire cables compatible with Shimano, SRAM, and Campagnolo?

Yes. Most Jagwire cables are double-ended — with a Shimano/SRAM nipple on one end and a Campagnolo nipple on the other. Single-nipple versions for each groupset are also available. Housing, end caps, and ferrules are sized for standard 4 mm (shift) and 5 mm (brake) diameters. Flat-bar and drop-bar specific kits include the matching accessories.
