The Gorilla helps prevent bottles ejecting from cages on bumpy roads, mountain bikes and saddle-mounted water bottle carriers. The cage has over 2X the gripping force of conventional carbon cages due to the 6 high shouldered carbon gripping fingers, tall retention tab at the top and thicker carbon. The Gorilla cage will fit on any standard cage mounts. Use a bottle that has a groove all the way around that is uniform and fits tightly into the hook at the top of the Gorilla Cage. Bottles with grooves that are not uniform around the entire circumference like the Polar Insulated bottles are not recommended for use with the XLAB Gorilla Cage, and in our experience these two bottles do not stay in place on rear carriers due to the lack of groove for the cages to grip.
Ergonomically designed so you can easily access the bottle even with limited flexibility. No trouble getting on and off the bike. The low mounting position provides enough clearance to easily swing your leg over the saddle. Adjust bottle height by up to 1” to perfectly position to your comfort level. WORRY-FREE BOTTLE SECURITY High-gripping XENON cages tout an 8 lb grip force – within the ideal range of rear system grip force for worry-free bottle retention. Strong, sturdy mount prevents swaying, rattling and vibration. Single bottle system neatly tucks one bottle behind your saddle for easy access to hydration. Perfect location for an extra bottle when taking on longer training rides or Century rides. NEW upgraded Italian-made, XENON cages increase cage grip force by 60% over original model. Mounts low to not hinder your ability to get on and off the bike.
Working closely with Cervélo and their wind tunnel testing results, XLAB developed an aerodynamic single rear system specific to Ritchey clamp seat posts found on the Cervélo P5, Scott Plasma and Kestrel triathlon bikes. The DELTA SONIC rod can slide along the seat post for the best customized fit for you. This bag mounts to the top tube on the 2 bosses. Capacity of 20.4 cu.in, this bag can hold the longest energy bars plus some gels and salt tablets.
The Vulcan cage provides high performance at an affordable price. Six pounds of grip force. Composite construction.
Quite often Triathlon framesets have smaller frame triangles and shorter head tubes in an effort to make the frames more aerodynamic. This results in having to pull the water bottle somewhat sideways in order to get it out of the bottle cage. Most current cages on the market make bottle extraction difficult. The engineers at XLAB have a cage that grips very well over bumpy surfaces but also has a special cut off angle of 30 degrees which testing has proved is the optimum angle in Tri framesets. It is super quick to get the bottle out of the cage. The cage features stiff bottom lip to support large bottles, stiff upper tab to retain bottles in the cage and slots in the back to provide vertical adjustment on the frame. Made with the same high temperature and pressure process as the successful Gorilla rear cage and in extra stiff carbon. The 6 arm design and graphics match the Gorilla so you can now have a consistent bottle cage design on your racing machine but with cages designed for each specific purpose.
Well made, with a low cost! It’s easy to use, with fast rear carrier options. The TURBO WING is the result of an extensive Engineering and Testing program. There are several features on the TURBO that are exclusive to XLAB.
