Nokon

With the patented 'Nokon Konkavex' system, brake and gear problems are a thing of the past. Made possible by applying a new and ingenious technology - flexible link joints combined with a pressure-stable outer sheath... The result... absolute precision for gears and brakes, long term!

'Nokon Konkavex' patented joints, have created a perfect system for both gears and brakes, weighing up to 40% less than regular Bowden cables, and with approximately 60% less friction than any other cable system, resulting in faster shifting & more precise braking.

(Custom red or blue anodised cables now available!)

Nokon overview:

• Glass fibre reinforced Teflon Liner to eliminate friction
• One system for brakes and gears
• Aluminium cable housing, 40% less weight, corrosion free & easily recycled
• Tight cable runs cause no problems, kink resistant, light operation, no increase in friction and 100% reliable
• Compression resistant cable housing prevents "ghost shifting"
• Precise, confident braking
• Easy head set adjustment - no cable steer
• All parts are replaceable
• Stainless steel-look and sophisticated design

The benefits of Nokon Konkavex:

• A system for both applications: doubly ingenious for the highest precision, whether changing gear or brake set
• Stretch stability: increased safety and precision even if bent or if used in extreme situations
• No gear problems: the pressure-stable outer sheath prevents the inner cable from stretching, thus avoiding the associated gearing problems
• Resistant to bending deformations: the joint components when assembled provide stability of the highest degree
• Lightweight: a 40 % weight saving compared with the normal Bowden cables
• Tension free: the system functions without lateral pressure, which excludes the possibility of lateral swing
• Cables can be extremely close mounted: Without problem
• Easily operable system: according to the test report in mountain bike 12/97 easy handling when changing gear or braking»
• Super pressure point: even when curved, the sheath is resistant to pressure
• Anodised aluminium & Stainless steel: a great saving in weight and increased durability. Materials and appearance have a high quality special bright anodised finish, or are corrosion free Stainless steel
• Ready to assemble: the ready to assemble system, with cables manufactured from special alloy, is supplied with everything required and ready for mounting
• Successfully tested: Used in the Tour de France!
