Quite often Triathlon framesets have smaller frame triangles and shorter head tubes in an effort to make the frames more aerodynamic. This results in having to pull the water bottle somewhat sideways in order to get it out of the bottle cage. Most current cages on the market make bottle extraction difficult. The engineers at XLAB have a cage that grips very well over bumpy surfaces but also has a special cut off angle of 30 degrees which testing has proved is the optimum angle in Tri framesets. It is super quick to get the bottle out of the cage. The cage features stiff bottom lip to support large bottles, stiff upper tab to retain bottles in the cage and slots in the back to provide vertical adjustment on the frame. Made with the same high temperature and pressure process as the successful GORILLA CAGE and in extra stiff carbon. The 6 arm design and graphics match the GORILLA CAGE so you can now have a consistent bottle cage design on your racing machine but with cages designed for each specific purpose. Use GORILLA CAGE for rear hydration carriers.
Girardengo Binda Coppi Bobet names from a heroic age an age of weathered figures in woollen jerseys hauling themselves across high alpine passes with only a thick layer of Brylcreem to protect them on the way back downThe courage and resilience of this era are the inspiration for those who lovingly restore and ride vintage bikes and equipmentWhilst many vintage components are relatively easy to source period correct bottles and cages are true rarities and it is with this in mind that Elite have drawn on their long Italian Heritage to produce the Eroica rangeMade out of robust aluminium and rubber with stainless steel fixings Eroica cage systems mount to 22-26 mm diameter handlebars and stem in the traditional fashion but the cage units themselves can also be removed and fitted to standard bottle cage frame bossesRubber pasd on contact points improve grip prevent rattling and will not mark that precious original 1950's Cinelli stem you spent so long tracking downAs with the originals a lever closing system cinches the cage tightly around your bottle ideal for the rough gravel roads many classic events run onWhilst the cage is designed around Elite's matching 74 mm Eroica bottles it can be adjusted from 70 - 78 mm ideal if you just so happen to have a set of original vintage team bidons to handAvailable in single (team leader) or double (domestique) versions

Horizontally mounted BTA (between the arms) hydration systems are aerodynamically faster, period. Triathletes who are constantly in pursuit of faster and more efficient systems have known this for a while now.After seeing athletes struggle with zip tied creations and Velcro® attached monstrosities for years, we were asked by Jordan Rapp to create a real solution to the growing need for a well engineered BTA system that incorporated the computer head unit. So, we tasked our design staff to make it so. Here is what Rapp had to say upon receiving the finished product. “It’s been amazing to have the support of Ben Waite at ZIPP and Mark Cantella at SRAM® in the evolution of this project. All of my feedback has been welcomed and well-received. Whenever we hit an obstacle, there was always a sense of, “okay, that didn’t work... now how can we fix it?” The goal has always been to make these pieces better and better until we all felt the offering was the best-in-class. And after getting the final production pieces, I’m confident that’s what we’ve done.”The demand for a system like this was just that, demanding. We are proud to introduce to you the results of our efforts, the Vuka BTA mount with QuickView. Mount frame is forged 6061T6 alloy construction for durability, strength and light weight (104g)..QuickView quarter turn mount only accepts Garmin® Edge® series head units, and offers multiple positions for placement and visibility..Mounting hardware is laser etched with precision alignment scale, allowing a wide range of adjustability, with exact placement..

Whilst many teams continue to race and win using our Crono CX aero bottle and cage system extensive consultation and testing over the 2018 season demonstrated a requirement for something different in certain situations Designed for riders that prefer the feel of a more traditional bottle the Crono TT is a narrow 66 mm 400 ml bottle with an aerodynamic frontal area. The narrower profile tucks it behind the broader kamm-tail style downtubes used by many modern aero frames greatly reducing turbulence compared to a full width bottle. In use this is a halfway house between our Crono CX system and a traditional bottle giving better aerodynamic properties than a traditional cage but with a form some riders will find more practical to use. Custom 66 mm carbon racing rage weighs only 20 grams contributing to a total system weight of just 70 grams Bottle is 100% BPA Free
XLab Gorilla High Grip Carbon Bottle CageThe GORILLA helps prevent bottles ejecting from cages on bumpy roads, and saddle-mounted water bottle carriers. The cage has over 2X the gripping force of conventional carbon cages due to the 6 high shouldered carbon gripping fingers, tall retention tab at the top and thicker carbon material. The GORILLA cage will fit on any standard cage mounts.Features:Tall Gripping sides for a 14lb grip on bottleStiff top lip helps retain bottlesFlared entry for fast insertionThick shelf for large bottlesMaterial: Carbon FiberWeight: 39gWarranty: Because of our engineering and testing for this product we give it a Lifetime Limited Warranty to the original owner.Warning: To ensure the best possible fit with the GORILLA Cage, use a bottle that has a groove all the way around that is uniform and fits tightly into the hook at the top of the GORILLA Cage. Bottles with shorter groves that do not fit properly into the hook like the Camelback Podium, and bottles with grooves that are not uniform around the entire circumference like the Polar Insulated bottles are not recommended for use with the XLAB GORILLA Cage, In our experience these two bottles do not stay in place on rear carriers due to the lack of a groove for the cages to grip.Buy XLab Accessories from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World's Largest Online Bike Store.
