The overall verdict
The Elite Custom race bottle cage does exactly what it is supposed to do, keep your drink bottle safe and secure on your bike. For the people who like to match colours, there are plenty of colours to choose from.
The cage is made from glass fiber reinforced polyamide which makes it durable and supple.
We never lost a bottle during the 6 months we have been testing the bottle cage, and this is on the bumpy roads of Ireland. The bottle cage weights 43g which is light, but there are lighter ones on the market. But price/weight ratio, this is a fantastic bottle cage.

The Elite Custom Race bottle cage has been used by more champions over the last decade than any other bottle cage.
The first thing you notice is it's light weight. The bottle only adds 43 g to your bike. Second thing you notice is how good it grips your bottle in place.
This is thanks to the very sticky elastomer rubber used on the side and secondly the curve on top of the bottle cage.
The elastomer is adjustable pending which bottle is being used and it also absorbs shocks from the road. Thanks to this, we never lost a single bottle.
