Kogel Cares, All Custom Everything

 

If you've been following Kogel, you know how important personalization has been to us since day 1. From our customizable Kolossos oversized derailleurs to our hyper-wild titanium bolt colors (like our brand new Purple Haze) on everything from front pins to pulley covers, we are your go-to brand for all custom everything.
 
But what's next up on Kogel's customizing plans? Blueberry bottom brackets?
Cyan bottle cages? Wanderlust pulley wheels? There's only one way to find out. And you may be surprised by what we have in store for you. Let's ride!

Custom Bike Pulleys

 

No matter what bicycle components you ride on - Shimano, Ultegra, Sram, or something else uniquely you, one of the first things anyone can see on your bike is the pulleys on your derailleur. While durability and speed are sure to be the priority of your focus to achieve the accurate shifting and reduced articulation you are looking for, it doesn't hurt to look like a boss while leading the pack. At Kogel, we have dreamed up and created some patented colors in the lab that resonate with world-class looks to match your first-place ride. Here are some of the colors in order of my favorites:

1. Midas Gold
2. Fire Engine Red
3. Kogel Blue
4. Raw
5. Black

 

If that's not enough and you want to get super technical like the experts here at Kogel, you'll find that our pulleys have the precision manufacturing needed from even the most demanding of cyclists. So here are 4 bottom line reasons why our pulleys not only look good but are better than some of those other copycat brands.

• Larger pulleys reduce chain deflection...a fancy way of saying "lower friction
• Larger pulleys mean slower rotating bearings...yet another way of saying "lower friction
• Bomb-Proof stiffness for snappy shifting
• 7075 Aluminum for longer life than stock plastic pulleys

 

Custom Color Titanium Bolts for Bikes

 

Custom Oversized Derailleur Cages

You spell King with a capital K. When it comes to OSD royalty you spell it with a capital K too.

All hail the Kolossos! 

First, imagine the performance of replacing your stock pulleys with a ceramic 14-tooth top pulley and an 18-tooth bottom pulley built on the stiffest cage on the market. Besides being designed for World Cup victories, Kolossos gives you reduced friction, improved shifting accuracy, and better chain retention. The best part is that we have some of the sexiest and most unique colors in the market that will make your end-of-race, trophy-holding, Instagram post look great with your custom Kolossos personalized on each of these components:

• Upper Pulley
• Lower Pulley
• Pulley Covers
• Cage Color
• Stop Pin 
• Screw Color
• + Custom Pulley Configuration

Ready to make your bike uniquely yours and experience maximum drivetrain efficiency? Kogel's component personalizer expands your options so enjoy choosing the color and build combinations that best match your riding style.

There's no reason to limit your imagination so dream big!
