If you demand braking performance that works without drama, Kogel's disc brake pads deliver. High quality, durable, engineered to perform, these parts bring premium stopping power so you can focus on the ride.
The Kogel Story
Kogel Bearings was founded in 2013 by Ard Kessels, a Belgian bike shop owner frustrated with bearing standards on premium bikes. He started Kogel in a small workshop in El Paso, Texas, with clear goals—produce high-end bearings that match frame and crank combinations, deliver industry-grade sealing for road or cross conditions, and eliminate the need for adapters.
Today those same values power Kogel products. Riders get ceramic and hybrid bearings that resist wear and rust, bottom brackets that fit properly the first time, and components built for real conditions. All that makes your ride smoother, quieter and lasting longer.
