good quality product
bought two of these for myself and my partner and I must say it was a great choice. The price is adequate to the product quality and the bottles never fall out. All in all very good value for money.

Back to basics
I was fed up of buying fancy lightweight cages that didn't work, so I bought a standard alloy cage to do the job better. This Elite cage grips the bottle tight and isn't bad on weight.
Not particularly fancy, but it's not a basic cage really. Very impressed with it's performance.

Best cages I've ever had
A bit retro but the design means your bottle can't slip through the bottom - unlike some of the modern designs. Also the gel pads hold the bottles really firmly, but still easy to extract. No doubt heavier than carbon but hey just breathe out hard and you've probably made up the difference.

Stylish
Hard to get too excited about a product like this, but it finishes my bike off nicely. Done a lot of miles since buying them and they have stood up to the job perfectly adequately.

Nice looking but a bit loose
Not tight enough for some bottles. Smart looking . . .

Looks good, but failed dismally
I bought these cages to replace the BBB alloy that I had on MTB as one was damaged in a fight with a tree. Look great, but after one ride, the gel grip (on one side) on the downtube cage had come out and full grip to the bottle was compromised.

Perfect for the pavé
Superb, never loose a bottle on the pavé again.
Easy as peas.
Don't even think about any other cage if you're riding a pavé or gravel event.

My old cheap bottle cage used to scratch my bottles making them look ugly, but the rubber grips on this one solve that problem.

Nice tight cage
Bought this in desperation - needed something quick and couldn't find any Titanium cages to match my Van Nick.
Pretty light and very robust.

Cobble proof...
Due to their bombproof reputation I fitted these cages before heading over to Flanders to ride the Omloop Het Nieuwsblad sportive. I'm glad I did as the roadside in places was littered with lost bottles, however the sturdy aluminium construction & gel pads held my bottles in place perfectly despite the brutal cobbles.
If they can survive that they can survive anything. Plus they look good. I highly recommend!

Loose
Ordered these as more aesthetically appealing than some others for my new matt black bike. Unfortunately with 500mil Elite bottles, the bottles rattle / buzz at the top of the cage on typical UK roads. Disappointing.

Light and sturdy
Light,sturdy, unobtrusive bottle cage. Easy to get bottle in and out one handed. There has been some slight widening of the holder but the gel helps to keep the bottle from rattling.

grips well looks nice on the bike
nice and light weight, looks good on the bike. grips my bottles well having hit a few pot holes/bumps on my many long rides. I would easily buy these again the extra little bit of money over the cheaper ones is worth it.

Flaskhållare av bra kvalitét
Väldigt gedigna och bra flaskhållare med utmärkt passform. Enkla att montera och använda.

Nice touch
Purchased two chrome cages to give the bike a nice retro look. High quality and secure.
03 December 2015
Poor Quality
I brought these and regretted it after the first ride. Bottles were rattling around and when I'd finished my ride the paint had come off the cages.

As expected
It's a bottle cage at the end of the day so not really very much to say, other that it works and holds the bottles in place. It looks good and I hope will be long lasting.

Perfect!

does the job

Excellent, race-suitable product
A pair of silver ones have been fitted to my new white carbon Trek Emonda which is used for coaching, Summer training and 2nd-string crit races (I coach and race on circuits like Milton Keynes Bowl and Hillingdon, so fast and technical). The cage: grips the bottle well (no lost bottles, even large ones), is easy to extract bottles even at full-pelt, and looks really smart on a modern carbon bike. Also, they don't scratch and discolour your bottles like carbon cages. As a final plus point, you can bend them to suit your bottles if needed. I would recommend these to anyone.
Shame they don't do other colours, like my original blue anodised Elites on my 1996 Roberts race bike.

Classic and Practical.
I have these on my alu winter bike and my CF best bike and cannot fault them they look good, in a classic style, and hold bidons securely. What more do you need?

Entry level. Great.
Great entry level cage. Very good for 500 - 600 ml bottles.
Any bigger bottles I find rattle a bit although still secure.

So far NOT lost a bottle
So far NOT lost a bottle ( 500 ml or 1 Lt ) from any of my bikes.
Looks good, not the "lightest" but can re-tighten (bend) back into "right" size after a "slight" off.
03 September 2015
excellent
Good quality bottle holder, have used it for a few months now and holding shape well. Seems light weight although as I have used it on a touring bike this isn't a priority. The gel is useful to hold the bottle in.

Can see why the pro's use them
Recently completed a cycloX sportive over cobbles and very bumpy trails and my drink bottle's never moved an inch. Brilliant quality and very light weight.
