In Belgium, Ard Kessels owned a bike shop and could not understand why even the high-end models he sold himself came fitted with low-quality steel bearings that neither performed well nor stood up to the harsh Belgian weather. Out of that frustration, Ard founded Kogel Bearings in 2013. Since then, Kogel's goal has been to produce premium ceramic bearings and components capable of lasting and performing at 100% on and off the road.
Ceramic bearings, pulley wheels and bottom brackets. The full Kogel Bearings catalogue arrives in Spain
Kogel Bearings feature balls made of silicon nitride, a material that makes them harder, smoother and rounder than any steel bearing. This translates into lower resistance, so the rider needs less effort to roll than with conventional bearings.
Thanks to the inherent properties of their ceramic bearings, Kogel Bearings components do not rust, require far less maintenance than their steel competitors and last up to 30% longer.
The Kogel Bearings catalogue includes bearings, pulley wheels and bottom brackets for almost every option available on the market, for both road and mountain bikes. All products are designed in Texas, USA, and manufactured at its factories in Belgium, China and the USA.
Kogel Bearings components are now available in Spain, Portugal and Andorra through their exclusive distributor, bikesursport.com.
