Fidlock Twist Bottle and Bike Base 600ml (TBL)

Product Information

Bottle cages come in top load and side load versions, and what’s best for you will depend on your frame. If there is tons of room in your front triangle, a top load cage will work just fine. However, as most full-suspension frames possess tight clearances, a side load cage will make your bottles more accessible. However, you’ll only be able to access from one side. How we test the best MTB bottle cages Some manufacturers aim to fill a specific brief for bottles that fall outside of this range, offering specific over-sized cages.

Hover the bottle directly above the the mount and magnetism does the work of aligning and syncing the two. Pulled together, there’s no need to be too precise in your placement. If you’re a speed enthusiast and keeping your bike as light as possible is a priority, a carbon or lightweight polymer cage will help you shave off those extra grams.

The twist and pull motion also prevents potentially painful encounters with the top tube and, for me at least, felt less exaggerated than Lezyne's likeable side-entry Flow. The standard bottle cage measures is up to 73mm in diameter.While most cycling water bottles are roughly the same diameter, this will differ slightly from bottle to bottle. As a result, the majority of bottle cages feature a degree of flexibility to accommodate these variations. Freestyle: If you’ve got no eyelets on the bike for bottle cages (highly unlikely) or if the eyelets aren’t exactly where you’d like them to be, you can always go for a bottle cage that attaches to your bike using something similar to voile straps. Do bottle cages fit all the bikes? By the same token, you can buy a set of decent left/right-specific cages (Lezyne's, for example) and two bottles for about the same money. Works exactly as advertised. Easy to install and the bottle mounts easily and doesn't fall out. Would recommend to everyone.

Sammy Johnson, VACUUM case Best bottle attachment system available. It’s both easy to use during rides and stays attached through tough rides. Highly recommend. H.M., TWIST bottle system I just got this Hermetic bag, and went camping last weekend where we crossed streams and it was great to have my iPhone safe and dry. This is a must have for beach, mtn biking, boating, camping etc. Topeak offers multiple cage and tool box configurations to match frame space and orientation. But of course, the more features on the multi tool, the more it weighs and the more room it requires.The staff at MBR use bottles cages a lot, and we’ve tested plenty on our regular mountain bike rides. We look at how easy they are to fit, what the potential space constraints might be when fitting them to different frame, how easy they are to place and remove a water bottle on the go, and how secure a filled water bottle is when riding down steep, rough and technical terrain. How do I choose a water bottle cage for my mountain bike? If you’re fighting for space on your bike, Topeak Ninja Cage and Tubi 11 tool is one of the many practical solutions to help your case. The side-access design is minimalistic and allows for your multi tool to be bolted to the bottle cage. Buying the best bottle cage for mountain biking isn’t just a matter of getting something your water bottle can simply sit in and be easily accessible mid-ride, although those elements are undoubtedly important. It’s also about how secure it is, and the best mountain bike bottle cages combine all those elements. Bottle cages come in carbon, plastic, fiber-reinforced resin and metal. There are pros and cons to each, however, the material will influence the price and weight. Carbon and titanium cages will cost a pretty penny, while plastic and resin cages are cheaper. Is lighter better?
