Description
The Steel Is Real
US made, grippy enough for most riding, looks nice, light weight. There are a lot of things one could say about the most classic and functional bottle cage out there — the King Cage Stainless Steel Bottle Cage.
Perhaps the best thing about stainless bottle cages is they don't mark up a bottle like aluminum cages and feature a timeless elegance over plastic or carbon cages. Did we also mention, you can bend it back if it gets knackered in a crash or loosens up over time? If you want the grippiest cage, try the King Cage Iris, they're stiffer and have more secure bottle retention. For touring and gravel bikes — steel is good.
Features:
- 304 Stainless Steel won't mark up your bottle
- Classic entry and exist
- Can easily be bent back into shape and tightened for more grip
- Hand-Made in Durango, CO
- Mounts to standard bottle cage bosses
- Weight: 48g

Good Cages
These are now on a Ti & CF Serotta Otrott ... replacing the original Ti ones from 2005 that had finally failed. If you can tell the difference between these and the Ti iteration as I pass you by then you must have a PHD in metallurgy. I may have weighed the bike down by a couple grams but so what? I weighed my wallet down with a ton of dollars saved. Im thrilled.

Fantastic, durable, and beautiful cages. I put them on all the steel frames I braze. Not the lightest ever, but economical and the cleanest looks that don't distract.

My favorite but they are expensive.

I love these and will always have these on my bike but I can only justify the cost when they are on sale. They look great and don't marr up my bottles.

I purchased this product to replace carbon cages I was using because rear bottle would occationally bounce out. Purchased King Cages and new Camelbak bottles. Bottles lean sideways in cages and when adjusted and turned in cages will continue to lean when on rough road.

An excellent, American-made product that won't mar your water bottles

I have two of these installed on my road bike. They are hand-made in Durango Colorado of American-sourced steel by a small business. If you are not carbon-obsessed, this is the way to go!

Pros:
Lightweight and very durable. I put them on all of my bikes.
Cons:
Bottles do get marked up, though that could just be abrasion from dirty conditions.

I haven't even considered another cage since getting my 1st King Cage. They hold the bottles secure without marring them and they're reasonably priced.

What you need for a road ride.
You may need to bend these cages a little bit to get a snug fit around your bottles. I use the King Stainless Cages and the Camelbak Podium bottles without any issues and with minimal marking.
If you bend these cages and continue to have ejection and leaning issues on rough roads, you might consider some very tight fitting cages like the Velocity Thermoplastic Bottle Cage. As an added benefit, they're about 10g lighter than the King Stainless Steel Bottle Cages.
Thanks,
