BlackburnSlick Racing Bottle Cage(Return to Product Page)

Bought these thinking I'd be able to keep the new hardtail XC race bike as light as possible without killing the bank account by going with carbon. They are nice and very light, and would probably be fine on smooth tarmac, but unfortunately, I have very little of that around here. These do not do a very good job at securing a standard 26 oz purist style water bottle and on the first ride, my bottle bounced around constantly and out of the cage once which was enough for me to abandon the experiment. YMMV, but I just don't have faith that these will 1. hold bottles and 2. hold up as they're very flimsy feeling. I've since added a few grams to the bike and gone with a couple Elite Custom Race cages which I have on another bike, and have always done well for the purist bottles I use.

This water bottle cage has a durable, yet lightweight design that keeps your water bottle snugly secure without it being difficult to pull in and out. The lightweight frame is great as well. Definitely a good buy.

Don't buy this if you use oversize water bottles. The fit is too tight and it feels like you're going to rip this cabe apart every time you remove the bottle.

Nothing special. It's light, not too expensive, but it fits really tightly on my Camelbak Podium bottles so they're hard to remove once they're in.

Light and bottles dont fly out
