Yokozuna Reaction is the first truly compressionless brake housing. This Universal Kit for mountain or road bikes replaces our Shimano/SRAM, Mountain and CX/Disc kits. Reaction cable boosts braking power from road brakes to mechanical disc brakes. The shift cables have heads for Shimano/SRAM and Campagnolo and the brake cables have heads for Shimano/SRAM road and mountain brake levers. The new universal kit's lengths have been increased to work with disc brake bikes and larger bikes Features: Both shifter and brake housing are jet-Lubed END2END for smoother cable action.

I guess the additional stiffness and lossless brake actuation is good, but if your frame isn't a great fit
The arms race for stiff cable housing is over, and Yokozuna won.However, it's just too stiff to be practical. Be really careful and be sure you actually need it. On the one bike I used it with I had cable rub issues on the frame instantly, and it's so stiff it actually impedes the headset movement. I guess the additional stiffness and lossless brake actuation is good, but if your frame isn't a great fit, this will end up causing you more pain than benefit.

Warning: non-standard size, only includes 4 brake ferrules.
Yokozuna only includes four ferrules for the brake cables. My bike needs eight. The cables are larger than standard, which means the ferrules are also custom to Yokozuna. Extra Yokozuna ferrules only come in a pack of fifty, which cost another $30. If your bike doesn't support a full housing run from lever to brake, this is actually a $90 cable set.

Second buy
This is my second kit, the first one had been on my bike since she was built a few years ago. Quality stuff if you need to go external.
