XLAB Gorilla XT Carbon Water Bottle Cage for Triathlon and Road Bikes 14 pounds of Grip Force – Matte Black

Best in the market. Just be careful before buying because it doesn't fit with every bottle sold these days (like CamelBak Podium, for instance).

When you absolutely need your water bottles to stay fast when riding, these are IT. Regardless of terrain, bumps in the road, this cage holds the bottles all of the time.

I mounted mine to an behind the seat carrier since my Sondors MXS didn't come with the normal mounting brackets. Since it was behind me I wanted to make sure the bottle was gripped. This thing does its job. Just use a bottle with the proper indentation and you will not drop a bottle.

Ya know paid big money for the "best" cages (and xlab bracket) on the market - they look awesome on my bike! - still in mild road conditions of patched pavement; two bottle launces within 105 road miles traveled. (yes I have the xlab insulated bottles as well). Not returning but was hoping for better results.

Water bottle cage has worked great on the rear mount of my TT bike. No ejection issues. However, take note of XLab recommendation that water bottles with indentations on the neck ensure a secure fit in the cage. 20+ ounce water bottles may not fit as securely without the indentation at the appropriate height. My only complaint is that the seller originally shipped the wrong color, but Amazon quickly replaced.

My husband is very happy with this product. He just recently bought a tri bike and one of these water bottles. I found them on here much cheaper than at the bike store. We are very happy with the purchase and will probably order another one soon.

Holds tight onto non-xlab branded water bottles even as a rear carrier over cobblestone. Previously I would launch bottles every time on our terrible Rhode Island streets with the "regular" Gorilla, which are now on my road bike's tubes.
