Kogel has launched a new product range with a major claim. The new CR or Corrosion Resistant bearings claim to be “the first ever to combine a hardened, corrosion-resistant steel race with ceramic bearings and condition-specific seals.”
Kogel claims that its new proprietary hardening process for stainless steel yields a race that is hard enough to survive prolonged use with their ceramic balls but retains its rust-proofing.
Kogel is confident enough in its new bearing tech to have extended their warranty with a new “3-year very few questions asked” policy. The new CR bearings are available now as an upgrade in all bottom brackets and will come standard in aftermarket fully wheels and oversized pulleys in the Colossus derailleur cage. Kogel will also sell CR bearings as aftermarket upgrades for existing components with more applications coming in the future.
