No, Elite has engineered the Custom Race X to maintain excellent bottle retention. The reinforced base ensures the bottle stays firmly in place despite the reduced weight and improved accessibility.

Ensure the cage is tightened securely to the frame. Check that the bottle is inserted correctly, engaging fully with the base support. Some bottle shapes may fit better than others; try a different bottle if the issue persists.

Ensure you are inserting the bottle at the correct angle, aligning with the lowered side supports. Try rotating the bottle slightly during insertion. If the cage is new, it may require a few insertions to fully break in.
