A very light bottle cage with plenty of grip! The King cage holds bottles securely in place. I take effort to remove bottles. I am Oaky with that!!!

The best water bottle cages bar none.
Review by Cycle66
It's mind-bending when you pick one up because they're so light. They also look better than they should for the old classic look they have plus they don't wear out. They also don't leave marks on bottles. Their only downside is, they aren't cheap.

I used a pair of these to replace steel cages and saved 16g. Per cage.
The next week I picked up a long-sought Strava KOM.
I'm not saying that these events are related. And I'm not saying that they aren't.
Also, they look cool.

Not super sexy compared to the new carbon fiber cages that you see out there. But they go nicely with the titanium bike.
Review by Mike in Richalnd
This is my third set of King Ti water bottle cages. I think these are simply the best cages I have ever used. Light, adjustable, easy to clean. For this 3rd set, I bought one cage when it was a Daily Special an saved 20%. The cages are pricey, but I think they are worth it. Lastly, look good on the bike, no doubt.

I installed this on a breezy day and it is so light, I was afraid it was going to blow away. Very strong, very high quality, only thing not to like is the price - if so, they make an alloy version.

these cages are feather light - as light as carbon. grip the bottle tightly. works of art! pricey perhaps, but are competitive with carbon cages. perfect match for a ti or steel frame.
Review by Jason
At 28g, they are definitely light. They are also beautifully made. They hold but do not mark your bottles, even on rough roads.

Hold a bottle fairly well. Spendy for a water bottle cage but I suppose if they last forever it will be worth it.

Here is my experience with King Cage and its owner Ron Andrews. I bought one of their Stainless Steel cages that came with a lifetime warranty several years ago. It was used to hold the reserve water bottle, so it did not get nearly the number of uses as the front water bottle cage that had the water bottle go in and out of it many times every ride. That front stainless cage, of similar vintage but a different brand, has held up well. The King Cage, at most, would have the water bottle go in and out once or twice each ride.
The King Cage developed two problems. The weld came loose on one of the cross pieces. Also, the stainless tubing broke. I took a photo of the water bottle cage and emailed it to King Cage.
I left phone and email messages (including the photo of the broken cage) with King Cage. There was no response. Three days later I sent a second email massage. Again there was no response. Receiving no response after 7 days, I sent another email indicating that if I had not received a reply in 2 more days, I would file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau and also post my experience with this company wherever I could on the internet. Then, that same day, I did get an email from King Cage stating I would receive a full refund. That was on April 16, 2014. Not having received a full refund by April 26, I emailed Ron Andrews of King Cage to ask if he had mailed the check yet. There has been no response to this last email of mine nor full refund as of May 1, 2014.
You can be the judge whether this is the kind of company you want to own products from.

No one could possibly need to spend this much money to save a few grams. But then you pick it up . . . and every other water bottle cage instantly sucks.

These are great...whisper light, and just the right tension to hold bottles without requiring a high speed wrestling match to get them out. Great retro look on my gorgeous Ti bike. They don't stain or scratch plastic bottles.

This was the second pair I have purchased. The first pair I bought over ten years ago and are now on my Specialized Tarmac Pro having outlasted an early Trek Madone. This second pair I bought for my girlfriend and she has begun to appreciate how they hang on to bottles even when hammering over rough roads. A great product.

I have been on two 50 mile mountain bike races one without King cages and lost water bottle the next one with King cages and no loss. The design works and is light.
Review by Pro-35
This is an incredible cage- used it all season and never lost a bottle on rough marathon XC courses. Feels like it's too light to be durable, but it's legitimately 28 grams and doesn't show any signs of wear. It's not cheap, but it's the same cost as more fragile and less reliable carbon cages.
The King cages will last be transferred to your next bike, and probably a couple more after that.
Performance is the same for less expensive but slightly heavier stainless steel version which is a solid 5 for value rating.
Review by ME Biker
Like many others, I've tried a few carbon cages to match carbon fiber bike. After having bottles repeatedly ejected from these carbon cages, I decided that despite the modern look of my bike, I was going old school for cages. I can adjust the snugness on the go and the flat mounting surface fits the squared off down and seat tubes on my Cervelo. As for weight, at 2829 grams each these cages are actually lighter than many carbon cages (not that I really care about the small difference). Finally, these cages will not mark your bottles.

these cages are absolutely superb for mountain bike and road riding. i haven't lost a bottle yet while racing over some of the most gnarliest courses. Super easy to replace bottles back into cages. Worth every penny!

I was reticent to give up my carbon cages, but what I already had didn't work quite right on my S5 (bottle was rubbing the paint off the downtube) and I was tired of them marking my bottles so badly. These new Ti cages are awesome, and I am really happy I got them. They look just fine on my carbon race rig, and they hold the bottles really tight. Plus, I like supporting a small company (these aren't Chris King, common mistake)
Hi,
We always recommend contacting us first for any warranty help (we're often able to help you out more quickly than the manufacturer). While we've had quite good luck with King cages, they do seem to be a very small company, so we're more than happy to step in to help take care of you sooner.
Thanks! Stacia
