Xlab 38-Gram Gorilla Carbon Cage

After 3 cheaper bottle cages broke from the harsh impacts seen by a behind-the-saddle bottle carrier, I finally splurged on the X-Labs Gorilla cage. It’s worth it. * Grip strength is strong, so no need to try to re-shape the cage to hold tighter * Grip strength is not excessively strong, I can still muscle a bottle out of the cage while pedaling * Carbon design makes it likely immune from the kind of fatigue failures that aluminum cages have * The grip is spread out over a large area of the bottle, unlike many cages that only grab the bottle in one location. This makes the grip more secure and less likely to change based on a bump or bending * Fits very well the Zefal Magnum 33oz bottle * Made in America!

Habe mir die Halterung für die Montage hinter dem Sattel auf dem TT-Bike gekauft. Flasche sitzt fest und ist mir bisher nicht mehr raus gefallen. Das entnehmen und wieder zurück stecken während der Fahrt ist logischerweise etwas schwerer, aber leichter als erwartet. Lieferung war auch schneller als angegeben.

Funciona perfectamente, es el único port ánforas que mantiene en posición las botellas en la parte detrás del asiento

very sturdy well worth the extra money

These are great cages for riding and racing on gravel. I absolutely do not have to worry about losing bottles when riding down fast washboard gravel. I use the Zefal Magnum bottles (33 oz) and they hold like a charm. During races, when other folks are losing bottles and hydration, I can keep the hammer down and go.
