The Side Entry Bottle Cage: Clever Space-Saving Design for Adventure-Built Bikes
Designed to tackle tight setups head-on, our Side Entry Bottle Cage is perfect for riders navigating compact frames or those who rely on frame bags for storage without sacrificing hydration access. Whether you’re riding a sleek road bike or a burly mountain rig packed with gear, this cage ensures your bottle stays secure while freeing up critical triangle space for other essentials like tool rolls or adventure bags.
Why Choose Our Side-Entry Solution?
– Versatile Installation: Its two-piece design lets you mount it on either side of your frame—ideal for customizing your setup around existing accessories or adapting to different riding styles.
– Sturdy Grip Meets Smooth Access: A ¾-wrap aluminum body clamps firmly onto bottles even during aggressive descents or rocky trails, while flared entry “wings” make grabbing your drink quick and effortless mid-ride.
– Ultra-Lightweight Durability: Crafted from high-grade 6463 T5 aluminum, this cage weighs just 43g—light enough for race-day setups yet tough enough to handle years of off-road abuse.
Perfect For:
– Compact Bikes: Riders of small-wheeled bikes (like 29ers or gravel grinders) where space is at a premium
– Frame Bag Users: Mountain bikers balancing gear storage with hydration needs
– Trail Riders & Commuters: Anyone seeking reliable bottle retention without constant fumbling
