XLAB Gorilla XT Carbon Water Bottle Cage for Triathlon and Road Bikes – 14 lbs Grip Force, Matte Black

About this item

• Purpose - Optimized for rear mounted hydration systems, but excels wherever installed. The increased grip force makes it a great choice for Triathlon and Road bikes where bottle ejection from rear carriers is a concern. Also performs well when used as a frame cage. Fits most standard diameter water bottles. For maximum grip, use a bottle that has a consistent groove all the way around its neck. It should be uniform and fit tightly against the Gorilla XT‘s top retaining hook.
• Materials - Strong and durable (49 grams) cage is constructed out of a proprietary carbon fiber composite layup. Included steel mounting hardware is highly corrosion resistant. Carries a limited lifetime warranty.
• Tall cage arms with high arches securely hold the bottle in place while riding. The small opening in the center increases surface contact with the bottle and promotes easy vertical removal. The wide bottle opening facilitates easy insertion without needing to divert attention from the road.
• High Grip - Uses the same design as the standard Gorilla cage, but the Gorilla XT is engineered with extra carbon fiber layers to increase the grip force to 14 pounds. A robust bottom shelf provides support with heavy bottles. A reinforced top cage hook shaped to match the contours of your bottle, securely locking into the bottle’s neck. Properly supporting the bottle and locking it in place means fewer bottle ejections.
• Installation - Quickly and easily mounts with included bolts. Oval mounting holes allow for fine tuning cage placement. Perfect for down tube or seat tube installation.
