Elite Custom Race X Resin Bottle Cage Matte Grey

The Elite Custom Race X bottle cage weighs approximately 28.5 grams, which is a 35% reduction compared to its predecessor.

It is designed to fit standard 74mm diameter sports bottles.

Yes, the high-strength polyamide construction and secure retention make it suitable for mountain biking, though it's most commonly seen on road bikes due to its optimized design for that discipline.

The cage features lowered side supports for easier access while maintaining strong retention through robust support at the base.

It is constructed from high-strength polyamide with fibreglass reinforcement for durability and vibration damping.

It can be mounted on any bicycle that has standard water bottle cage bosses on the downtube or seat tube.

Typically, the screws are not included with the cage itself, as they are usually pre-installed on the bicycle frame's bottle bosses.

Ensure you are using a standard 74mm diameter bottle. Check that the cage is securely mounted to the frame and that the bottle is fully inserted. If the bottle is slightly smaller than standard, you may need to gently squeeze the cage slightly inwards to increase tension.

Newer cages might have a tighter initial fit. Try inserting and removing the bottle several times to 'break in' the cage. Ensure the bottle is aligned correctly with the lowered side supports for easier access. Check that no debris is obstructing the cage opening.

Remove the cage and check the frame's bottle bosses for damage or cross-threading. Re-install the cage using slightly longer or different screws if necessary, ensuring they are the correct thread type for your frame. Tighten screws firmly.
