The cage’s styling seems like a good fit for most modern road bikes and while aesthetics are always subjective when combined with the wide choice of colours and the trusted performance it feels like a bottle cage that will do the job - and do it really well - for the majority of users.

Generally, these mounts are best used for cargo cages and carrying tool kegs with spare parts, or dry bags full of other bits of kit. Typically, bottle cages are best positioned inside the main frame of the bike, on the down-tube or on the seat-tube – or both!

The most common places for storing a water bottle are on the downtube and the seat tube, inside the main frame of the bike. Lately, bottle cage bosses have been appearing in many more places on bikes, including the fork legs and underneath the down tube. It’s perfectly possible to store bottles in these locations, but they are less accessible than inside the main frame of the bike. How do you add more bottle cage mounts?

This matches the standard spacing of the bosses on most bikes. While we can’t say that all bottle cages will definitely fit all bikes, the overwhelming majority of each do fit each other. Where should I put my bottle cage on my bike? It features structural sections that vary according to the tension level applied to different areas of the bottle cage during use, ensuring high reliability and performance. Elite's own bottles push in with a reassuring clunk as the shape of the bottle fits in perfectly to the shaped cage, and once in there, it's definitely not moving.
