XLAB Gorilla XT Carbon Water Bottle Cage for Features
-
High Grip - Uses the same design as the standard Gorilla cage, but the Gorilla XT is engineered with extra carbon fiber layers to increase the grip force to 14 pounds. A robust bottom shelf provides support with heavy bottles. A reinforced top cage hook shaped to match the contours of your bottle, securely locking into the bottle’s neck. Properly supporting the bottle and locking it in place means fewer bottle ejections.
-
High Arched Arms – Tall cage arms positioned to grip mid bottle help retain the bottle throughout your ride. A narrow center opening maximizes the amount of contact around the bottle and helps encourage vertical bottle removal, matching the natural movement of your arm. A flared bottle opening assists blind bottle insertions when you need to be focused on the road ahead.
-
Purpose - Optimized for rear mounted hydration systems, but excels wherever installed. The increased grip force makes it a great choice for Triathlon and Road bikes where bottle ejection from rear carriers is a concern. Also performs well when used as a frame cage. Fits most standard diameter water bottles. For maximum grip, use a bottle that has a consistent groove all the way around its neck. It should be uniform and fit tightly against the Gorilla XT‘s top retaining hook.
-
Installation - Quickly and easily mounts with included bolts. Oval mounting holes allow for fine tuning cage placement. Perfect for down tube or seat tube installation.
-
Materials - Strong and durable (49 grams) cage is constructed out of a proprietary carbon fiber composite layup. Included steel mounting hardware is highly corrosion resistant. Carries a limited lifetime warranty.
About XLAB Gorilla XT Carbon Water Bottle Cage For
GORILLA XT The ultimate in bottle retention. We start with the same proven design and shape of the World Champion GORILLA CAGE and beef it up to 14 pounds of grip! Extreme conditions call for extreme grip. Bottle Retention More Grip: Extra layers of carbon fiber add over 4 lb of additional grip than our standard GORILLA CAGE, making it the perfect cage choice when seeking the ultimate in bottle retention. Rough roads? This cage can handle them. More Friction: We added more carbon fiber layers into the spring-loaded arms, compressing the bottle and ultimately increasing the friction between cage and bottle. More Strength: We paid special attention to the top hook and the bottle shelf, increasing the cage thickness and durability in these key locations. This allows you to carry heavy bottles on rougher roads. Accessibility A flared cage opening assists blind bottle access when you need to be focused on the road ahead. Arched cage arms positioned to grip mid-bottle help retain the bottle throughout your ride. A narrow center opening maximizes the amount of contact around the bottle and helps encourage vertical bottleremoval, matching the natural movement of your arm. Fine tune your cage positioning with long mounting slots. Positioning Our GORILLA XT is the athlete’s go-to cage choice, when ultimate grip is a necessity. The GORILLA XT features the same high-tech shape and design of our standard GORILLA CAGE proving it excels at Behind-the-Saddle mounting. It also excels as an In-the-Frame cage, and is a great choice for those items that you only need occasional access to, such as storage pods and canisters.
