At Kogel, we know that marginal gains matter, we built a business around that concept for over a decade now —but we also know that not every rider needs to chase fractions of a watt. That’s why we’re introducing Kogel ST, the newest addition to our Kolossos oversized derailleur cage lineup. Built on the same stiff, precision-machined platform as our classic Kolossos, the Kolossos ST delivers all the smooth shifting, reduced drivetrain friction, and full customization options you know and love from Kogel—all at an aggressive $324.99 price point
What’s New?
The Kolossos ST is designed for riders who want everything Kolossos offers—without the premium cost of ceramic bearings. Instead of our top-tier CR ceramic bearings, we’ve equipped the ST with high-quality stainless steel bearings. Since the punchline in our logo has always been High Quality Bearings, we could not set you up with just any stainless steel bearing. The new ST bearing uses all of the same components of our top of the line CR bearings, including the super hardened races. Only the most expensive components, the ceramic balls, are replaced by stainless steel to hit a new price point for affordable luxury.
That means:
✔ Same stiff, oversized cage for crisp, accurate shifting
✔ Same oversized pulleys to reduce drivetrain friction
✔ Same seal options for lowest friction or best protection
✔ Same color customization options to match your ride
✔ Now available in stainless steel bearings for an unbeatable price
Why Stainless Steel?
Ceramic bearings offer the absolute lowest friction, but for many riders, the difference is marginal. With stainless steel bearings, you still get excellent durability and smooth performance—at a fraction of the cost. This makes Kolossos ST the perfect entry point for riders who want the benefits of an oversized derailleur cage without paying for ceramic performance they don’t need.
A New Price Point for Kolossos
With Kolossos ST priced at just $324.99, we’re making oversized pulley technology more accessible than ever. That’s one-third less than our ceramic-bearing Kolossos, giving you a race-ready drivetrain upgrade without the premium price tag.
Customization That Stands Out
The Kolossos ST isn’t just about performance—it’s about style, too. Available in multiple anodized colorways—Black, Gold, and RAW—this is a derailleur cage built to complement any bike. Want something even more unique? We’ll be offering custom Cerakote finishes at an additional charge, so you can dial in the perfect look.
Compatibility & Availability
Kolossos ST is built for Shimano 11 and 12 speed and SRAM AXS road groupsets and is available now in our core anodized colorways, with Cerakote options coming soon.
If you've been on the fence about upgrading your drivetrain, today is the day. The Kolossos ST delivers the efficiency and performance you expect from Kogel—at a price that makes oversized derailleur cages more accessible than ever.
