Cycling is a blend of Passion, Emotion, and Technology, from climbing the highest alpine routes, to carving singletrack, to the daily commute. At Cole, this is what we are about.

The wheel is the heart and soul of the bicycle, and since 2001 Cole has been dedicated to creating the finest hand-built wheels available. Developed, tested, and used by in the most demanding conditions to bring you pure cycling emotion and performance.

Brand Introduction

01 02

Professional Racing

Since its conception, Cole has been an active sponsor of the world’s top rac-

ers. Now it can boast some of cycling’s biggest events among its wins. We

work closely with the world’s best riders to ensure consistent performance.

The goal at Cole is to make nothing but the best wheels.

03 04

Creating a superior wheel is no easy job. The wheel is arguably the most complicated part of the bicycle. Each individual

component – hub, rim, spoke – must already be to the highest standard. From there, the engineering of the complete

wheel can begin.

Our goal is to achieve a balance of strength and weight, and to do it better than anything else available. Dynamic Spoke

Alignment, a technology developed by Cole, provides a high tension wheel. The right materials and components are essen-

tial for a Cole wheel to provide durability under this high tension. Swiss-made, cold-drawn butted spokes; high modulus

compressed carbon fiber; cold-forged and precision machined hubs. These components are assembled to build a Cole

wheel by hand, one at a time.

Cole Wheels feature proprietary and patented technology, the result of years of development and testing. Now raced in

the UCI ProTour, Cole offers some of the highest technology available in a bicycle wheel.

Spoke Tension

Cole’s patented DSA hub allows for a higher spoke ten-sion. This translates to better power transfer, as less en-ergy is lost in the flex of spokes. More rigid wheels offer crisper acceleration and improved tracking through cor-ners.

Durability DSA’s cylindrical nipples distribute the spoke tension and road vibration into a larger area of the reinforced hub flange, resulting in a longer hub life. Straight-pull, butted spokes eliminate the stress and breakage of traditional j-bend spokes.

Perfect alignment

Cylindrical nipples allow for perfect alignment of the spoke, making for easier assembly and maintenance, and allowing for the high-tension spoke lacing that results in a superior wheel.

07 08

TECHNOLOGY

DSA – Dynamic Spoke AlignmentCole’s patented DSA system uses a double-threaded spoke and proprietary cylindrical nipple for increased spoke tension, wheel stiffness, and durability.

Fat Head DSA – a simplified straight-pull version of DSA, Fat Head spokes align freely with 5 degrees of adjustment to allow a wider, stronger rim and lacing pattern. Perfect for DH, freeride, and all-mountain.

DS – Cole Dual-Spoke hub flange allows radial, 1-cross, or 2-cross lacing, without any contact between the spokes themselves. This minimizes and stress areas for the spoke to break.

SS – Single-Spoke hub flange design allows for radial or 1-cross lacing, re-ducing spoke count and wheel weight over DS hubs.

Cole Carbon – Cole high modulus carbon rims are made using a unique organic Carbon Weave process for incredible multi-directional strength.

EZ Snap – The tool-free EZ Snap system allows multiple MTB axle systems with the same front hub. Simply change the end cap to go from 20mm or 15mm thru-axle to standard 5 mm, 10 mm or 15mm quick-release.

Torque Nipples – Alloy Torque Nipples from Atomlab are lighter and stronger than standard brass nipples. Designed to work with DSA Fat Head spokes.

Built slowly by hand, one at a time.

Johnny HoogerlandBetween Tension and confirmation

Most of the pro riders spend a lot of time on their material, since

the riders make a lot of efforts for their cycling career it is a logi-

cal thing that the material has to be perfect too. When I signed

with the new pro team of Vacansoleil I wandered about the ma-

terial we were going to use in the upcoming season. The answer:

the frames come from Batavus and the wheels from Cole. The

brand Batavus rang a bell for me, Cole didn’t, which I don’t get

after my experiences so far.

To get more information on Cole I did some research and asked

my good friend Reinier Honig. I know him since I was 14 and he

had experience with the wheels. He really was content with the

aerdynamics and rotating qualities of the wheels. This message

conformed me and I started the winter training with a lot of

“moral”.

After a good preparation the season started by the in France end

of January with the GP Marseillaise and the Etoile de Besseges.

With a lot of training and “moral” I started in this race looking

for confirmation on my shape and material. I had a good feeling

in training but I was curious about the racing experience and it

was incredible! My shape and material were great. It give me a

lot of confidence and I had a superb sprint. Several top-5 clas-

sifications, two victories, 12th in Tour of Flanders and 8th in the

Eschborn-Frankfurt City Loop. An amazing spring and kick-off in

my first season. I pursued a pro cycling career for years and this

start gives me a great feeling.

The Cole wheels underneath me give me a secure feeling in the

spring classics. Rotation and aerdodunamics are great but also

the looks were pretty hot – the looks are not to be underestimat-

ed for a cyclings. Wheels make the difference on a bike. I don’t

know whether it was the results of the Vacansoleil-team, the ag-

gressive racing style or the good looking wheels but a lot of rid-

ers started to show interest in our wheels. As soon as the pace

drops in a hard cycling race riders start to chat on several things,

often this concerns the material or shape. When riders pop the

question how are wheels are doing? I can – like Reinier did with

me – only give one answer: Superb!!

Tussen: Spanning en bevestiging

De meeste beroepswielrenners zijn altijd bezig

met hun materiaal, logisch want als je er zelf alles voor doet moet

je fiets gewoon altijd tiptop in orde zijn. Toen ik dus vorig jaar

een contract tekende bij het nieuwe profteam Vacansoleil was

ik benieuwd te horen op welk materiaal zou worden gekoerst

in de komende seizoenen. De frames komen van Batavus en de

wielen van Cole. Het merk Batavus was bij mij bekend maar Cole

deed geen belletje rinkelen, wat ik achteraf niet begrijp na mijn

ervaringen dit seizoen.

Om meer te weten te komen ging ik maar eens navraag doen

bij Reinier Honig, een goede vriend van mij sinds die jeugdcat-

egorieën die al ervaring had met deze wielen. Hij was hier enorm

tevreden over en zei dat ze enorm goed draaiden en goed strak

bleven. Dit stelde me gerust en ik ging vol goede moed de win-

tervoorbereiding in.

Na een goede voorbereiding begon eind januari het seizoen met

de GP Marseillaise en de Etoile de Besseges in Frankrijk. Goed

getraind en vol goede moed begon ik aan deze wedstrijd, en nat-

uurlijk enorm nieuwsgierig hoe mijn vorm zou zijn en hoe mijn

materiaal zou bevallen tijdens het vol geven in een wedstrijd. Het

was ongelofelijk! Mijn vorm en materiaal waren super. Het gaf

een enorm pak moraal voor mij waardoor ik een vliegende start

maakte. Meerdere top-5 klasseringen, twee overwinningen, 12e

in de Ronde Vlaanderen en 8e in de Eschborn-Franfurt City Loop.

Een geweldig voorjaar en debuut bij de profs. Het bestaan van

profwielrenner heb ik jaren nagestreefd en dat het vervolgens

direct zo goed gaat geeft een heerlijk gevoel.

Met de Cole wielen onder mij voelde ik me heel het voorjaar ze-

ker. Ze draaien enorm goed, waren enorm strak ondanks dat ze

ook enorm licht waren en zagen er – zeer belangrijk voor een

coureur - mooi gesoigneerd uit. De wielen maken de fiets! Of het

de prestaties van het Vacansoleil-team, de aanvallende koersstijl

of de gesoigneerde wielen waren weet ik niet maar er kwam

steeds interesse van andere renners in onze wielen. Zo gaat dat

in een peloton, soms word er eventjes wat rustiger gereden in

het peloton en dan word er toch snel aan elkaar gevraagd hoe

bevallen jullie wielen eigenlijk? Ik kan dan - net als wat Reinier bij

mij deed - maar één antwoord geven en dat is: Super!!

David De la FuenteIn the House of the Champion

Winning is always a pleasure but to win in a race named after

one of your idols is even more gratifying. That’s what happened

to me on April 4, 2009, a date that’ll be hard to forget because on

that day, I lived a dream: winning the Miguel Indurain Grand Prix.

At the start I was confident because I knew I was in good shape

but I didn’t seriously think about winning with the likes of Ale-

jandro Valverde, Roman Dreuziger, Carlos Sastre and the brothers

Schleck lined up at the starting line beside me. The week before

I won second place in the Llodio Grand Prix, a demanding clas-

sic race in which I’d broken away in the final stretch together

with Mosquera and Samuel Sanchez. I was riding very strong but

started my sprint prematurely and the Olympic champion, as you

know, forgives nothing. Second place was important but the way

it came about left a bad taste in my mouth. I needed another go.

The Indurain Grand Prix was a punishing circuit through the Na-

varran homeland of the great champion. This year three climbs

to El Puy were included rendering the circuit even more difficult;

an extremely steep, single-kilometer slope that finished the race

and on whose upgrades one really suffers. My name appeared

among the favorites but most of the votes were going to the

home team, to the continuation of Indurain’s Banesto team, to

the Caisse d’Espargne and it’s leader, Alejandro Valverde. It was

they who controlled the race from start to finish, who blocked all

the breakaway attempts right up to the last curve accessing the

final and definitive ascent to Puy. I positioned myself well in the

turn, somethng of extreme importance to the final run when--

Oh no!The television motorcycle goes down and blocks a good

portion of the narrow roadway. Fortunately I’m able to dodge

the motorcycle. Only 300 meters to go and no time to regulate

the forces. It’s time to go for the lead. Kolobnev and Wegman are

right behind me but I don’t think about it. I press my Cole T50

wheels for everything they’ve got and they respond to perfec-

tion. The others can’t touch me. I raise my arms and celebrate

with the public my reaching the top. I’ve done it. I’ve won on the

home turf of the champion. The Great Miquel awaits me on the

winners stand. A dream come true.

En Casa del Campeón

Ganar siempre es agradable, pero hacerlo en una

carrera que lleva el nombre de uno de tus ídolos es todavía más

gratificante. Eso es lo que pude vivir el día 4 de abril de 2009,

una fecha que difícilmente olvidaré ya que ese día pude lograr

uno de mis sueños: vencer el Gran Premio Miguel Indurain. Aquel

día, en la salida, estaba confiado porque sabía que mi estado de

forma era bueno, pero difícilmente podía pensar en ganar cu-

ando en la línea de salida se presentaban nombres como los de

Alejandro Valverde, Roman Kreuziger Carlos Sastre o los herma-

nos Schleck. La semana anterior había conseguido el segundo

puesto en el Gran Premio de Llodio, una clásica exigente en la

que había llegado escapado a la recta final junto a Mosquera y

Samuel Sánchez. Ese día me vi muy fuerte, pero me precipité en

el sprint y ya sabemos que el campeón olímpico no perdona…

El segundo puesto era importante, pero la manera en la que se

había producido me dejó un sabor de boca amargo. Necesitaba

desquitarme…

El Gran Premio Indurain presentaba un duro recorrido por las

tierras navarras del gran campeón. Este año todavía era más duro

con la inclusión de tres subidas a El Puy, un durísimo repecho

de un kilómetro en el que acaba la carrera y en cuyas rampas

hay que sufrir de lo lindo. Mi nombre aparecía entre los favori-

tos, pero sobre todos ellos, el equipo de casa, la continuación del

Banesto de Indurain, el Caisse d’Epargne, y su líder Alejandro Val-

verde, contaban con casi todos los boletos para conseguir la vic-

toria. Ellos fueron los que controlaron la carrera de principio a fin

y los que abortaron todas las escapadas hasta la curva de acceso

a la última y definitiva de ascensión al Puy. Allí logré entrar bien

colocado, algo importantísimo en ese final, hasta que… ¡Oh no!,

la moto de televisión se ha ido al suelo y bloquea buena parte de

la estrecha carretera. Por fortuna, logro esquivarla. Sólo quedan

300 metros y ya no hay tiempo para regular las fuerzas. Es hora

de tirar para delante. Kolobnev y Wegmann me siguen, pero no

me lo pienso. Imprimo toda la fuerza posible a mis Cole T50 y

estas me responden a la perfección. ¡No pueden seguirme!. Me

da tiempo de levantar los brazos y celebrarlo con todo el público

que abarrota la cima. Lo he conseguido. He ganado en casa del

campeón. El gran Miguel me espera en el podio. Sueño cumplido.

The BRUNI CLANEverything started for me when I first rode on a two-wheeled

vehicle. Taking hold of my moped’s handlebar, I still didn’t have

any ideas that the speed’s sensation was about to completely

intoxicate me. Self-taught, I taught myself to pilot and to fix my

moped. Thus started my long course, all my passion that led me

from the motorcycle to the bicycle. And from me to my son.

From 1987 to 1991, I was an enduro motorcycle rider and I must

admit that I loved that; I had a fire burning inside that I enjoyed

before finally giving myself to the bicycle. I practiced all disci-

plines of this sport – road, xc, and downhill.I spent all my energy

in a way that I loved and invested myself completely in this new

discipline that I particularly liked. In addition to allowing me

to go downhill at full speed, it led me to the most spectacular

mountain tops. In love with nature, the bicycle has this capacity

to make us move to discover new spots always more and more

fantastic.

In 1993, I left my motorcycle helmet for good for my new moun-

tain bike helmet, my passport for great adventures! From 1996

to 1999, I rode as a professional against the best and most prom-

ising newcomers. I won many times the French Championship

(including 2009) and I also won three times the Trans’, a big re-

ward for a big effort! Then I took off to Canada and not without

some trouble I took first place at the World Master’s Champion-

ship, in 1999. Then I did it again on 2000, 2002, 2003 and even

2008. This also succeeds in closing some mouths, including mine,

which usually say that after all those years, we are just good for

retirement.But finally, when I look at my son, I think to myself that

things are in safe hands.

This little piece of man arrived in 1994 and grew up within a biker

environment. Rolling around from race to race, his eyes have al-

ready spied everything. But I don’t rush him, on the contrary I

push him to try different sports for him to find what he likes the

most. Inevitably, he comes back to the bicycle and tries it in all

the different possible ways: 4-cross, slalom, and of course DH.

He is not like me, I surely give him some piece of advice but he

analyzes the situation more than me, he likes the technique and

I love to see him riding, even if I never tell him. He impresses me.

Two consecutive years he wins the French Championship in the

minor category. This year he finished in the seventh place at Or-

res and wins in the junior category at the Megavalanche, in

only his first time! He rides slowly into my wake within a lot

of very promising young riders. I rarely bet on the future

but believe me when I say that things are in safe hands.

Tout commence lorsque pour la première fois je

monte sur un deux roues. M’installant au guidon

de ma mobylette, je n’ai pas encore idée que la

sensation de vitesse allait définitivement m’enivrer. Autodidacte,

j’apprends par moi-même aussi bien à piloter qu’à réparer ma

bécane, l’un n’allant pas sans l’autre pour moi. C’est ainsi que

débute mon parcours, mes virées à deux roues qui avec le temps

m’amèneront à passer de la moto au vélo. Et de moi à mon fils.

De 1987 à 1991, je suis donc pilote de moto d’enduro et je dois

reconnaître que je prends mon pied. Une fougueuse jeunesse au

sein de laquelle je m’extasie avant de me tourner enfin vers le

vélo. Sport que je vais pratiquer sur ses différents terrains, route,

montagne, la descente, etc… Je me dépense comme j’aime et

m’investis à fond dans cette nouvelle discipline que j’affectionne

particulièrement et qui en plus de me faire descendre à toute al-

lure, me mènera aux sommets des plus belles montagnes. Amou-

reux de la nature, le vélo a la capacité de me faire bouger pour

découvrir de nouveaux spots toujours plus ahurissants les uns

que les autres.

En 1993, je laisse définitivement mon casque de moto pour le

troquer fièrement contre mon nouveau casque de VTT, mon visa

pour de grandes aventures ! De 1996 à 1999, je roule en élite et

côtoie les meilleurs ainsi que les jeunes pousses prometteuses.

Je remporte à plusieurs reprises les championnats de France

(dont ceux de 2009) et je gagne aussi à trois reprises la Trans’,

grande fierté car grande sueur ! Enfin, je m’envole au Canada et

avec un peu de plomb dans l’aile je finis premier au champion-

nat du monde master, on est alors en 1999. Je remets ça en 2000,

2002, 2003 et même 2008. Je fais ainsi taire les langues médis-

antes, dont la mienne, qui pensent qu’après toutes ces années on

est bon pour la casse ! Enfin quand je regarde mon fils je me dis

que la relève est largement assurée.

Ce petit bonhomme nous tombe du ciel en 1994 et c’est dans le

milieu cycliste qu’il grandit. Ballotté de course en course, ses yeux

sont déjà aux aguets. Mais je ne le brusque pas, bien au contraire,

je le pousse à essayer divers sports pour qu’il choisisse celui qui

lui plaira. Immanquablement il se dirige vers le vélo, il l’essaye

sous toutes ses formes route, cross, bi cross et bien sûr par la suite

DH. Il n’est pas comme moi, je lui donne certes des conseils, mais

il analyse plus la situation, il aime la technique et j’aime le voir

rouler même si je ne le lui dirai jamais. Il m’impressionne, deux

années consécutives il remporte les championnats de France,

catégorie minime. Cette année il finit septième au scratch des

Orres et gagne dans la catégorie cadet1 la Mégavalanche, c’était

sa première! Il roule donc dans mon sillage, au milieu d’un bon

nombre de jeunes qui sont de plus en plus doués. Je parie rare-

ment sur l’avenir mais croyez moi la relève est assurée!
