Kogel is the gold standard for podium grade ceramic bicycle bearings, offering high quality ceramic bottom brackets for your road, mountain or gravel bike.
We have perfected the bearing selection, manufacturing processes, assembly and fit. The result: extremely reliable and efficient bottom brackets that increase bottom bracket stiffness.
The bottom bracket sits at the heart of your drive train, it is critical in transferring power from your legs to the wheels.
This transfer of energy needs to happen as efficiently as possible, which is why you want a ceramic bottom bracket that minimizes friction, maximizes stiffness and works faithfully for years to come.
How Bottom Brackets Work
A bottom bracket enables pedals attached to the cranks to rotate directing force to the chain and in turn driving your bike's rear wheel forward.
It's this transfer of energy from your legs to the rear wheel that determines how fast you go and how much effort is required.
The job of Kogel's ceramic bottom brackets is to maximizes the transfer of energy for the life of your bike helping your ride longer and harder.
WHY Upgrade/Replace Your Bottom Bracket
Even new bikes with high-end drivetrains can, and usually do, ship with bottom brackets using subpar bearings and plastic cups.
Even if perfectly maintained, those steel bearings just won’t roll as efficiently as our high quality ceramic bearings.
Kogel Ceramic Bearings are:
More symmetrical (i.e. round) and built to stricter tolerances than steel bearings
More efficient for power transfer than standard bearings
And, won't deform, flat-spot, crack or get pitted
Beyond the basics of keeping your bottom bracket clean and maintained, perhaps the most important step is ensure your bike's best performance is using a bottom bracket manufactured with high-quality ceramic bearings.
