Full details

The Elite Custom Race Plus Bottle Cage is designed for competitive road cyclists and enthusiasts who demand a secure, lightweight, and reliable way to carry hydration. It offers exceptional bottle retention even on rough terrain, making it a favorite for professional cycling teams.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What size bottle does this cage fit?

This cage is designed for standard 74mm diameter cycling water bottles.

Is this cage suitable for mountain biking?

While designed for road cycling, its strong retention makes it capable for gravel and light mountain biking, provided you use a standard 74mm bottle.

Does it come with mounting screws?

The product typically ships as the cage itself; you should reuse the existing M5 bottle cage bolts on your bike frame.

What is the weight of the cage?

The Elite Custom Race Plus weighs approximately 40 grams.

Can I use this on a small bike frame?

Yes, but be aware that it is a top-entry cage. If your frame is very compact, you may prefer a side-entry cage for easier access.

How do I clean it?

Use a soft cloth with mild soap and water to wipe away dirt. Avoid abrasive scrubbers that could scratch the surface.

Troubleshooting

Bottle feels too loose in the cage

Verify the bottle is a standard 74mm diameter. If the cage has been bent slightly due to an impact, you can gently push the arms back toward the center.

Cage rattles while riding

Check that the mounting bolts are tightened securely to the frame. If the issue persists, apply a small piece of electrical tape or rubber padding between the cage and the frame.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely lightweight design at only 40g
  • Excellent retention capabilities for bumpy road conditions
  • Trusted design used by professional cycling teams
  • Wide range of color options to match any bike aesthetic
  • Intuitive entry and exit for quick hydration

Cons

  • Not suitable for bottles larger than the standard 74mm diameter
  • May require extra care when mounting to avoid frame scratches
  • Lacks side-entry functionality for small frames

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation is straightforward; the cage uses standard M5 bolts that fit almost all road and mountain bike frames. When mounting, ensure you use the included or standard cage bolts, and tighten them firmly, but do not overtighten to avoid damaging the frame inserts. Compatibility is universal for all 74mm diameter cycling bottles. For care, simply wipe down the cage with a damp cloth if it collects road grit or mud. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners as they can degrade the finish of the material over time.
