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.
