Elite 0061698 Customizable Race Skin Water Bottle Holder

Richard: Very lightweight and grips the bottles well. Don't see the need ot spend any more unless you're a brand name snob but if that's the case you won't be reading this.

JBJB: Previously bought one of these from a retail cycle store for my MTB.

I had a cheapo alloy one on my gravel bike and it got bent during a triathlon, obviously easily bent back into shape but not ideal.

Spotted Amazon was selling these so grabbed another. Nice and plain, seems strong and robust and both my Camelbak bottle and SiS bottle stay there securely.

On one bike I've got it on the seat tube, the other on the downtube, several mounting hole options on the holder itself so just go with what gives you greatest ease of access.

ethelthered: I ordered this for gravel bike having had the same on my road bike.
This recent one is tight - which means the bottle does not bounce out, but I feel it needs an extra shove to get the bottle to seat in the cage.
On balance, is prefect for my gravel bike as holds solid, but if i was wanting a slick in/out then it would reduce a star or two.
Overall (tested with a Camel Podium bottle) then its the go-to for cages; hold bottles snug.

Kanorton: I use Camelback Podium Chill’s, and they just won’t fit. I have a newer version of the Podium Chill on my mountain bike with an Elite Cannibal cage, and it works great, but even it won’t fit in these cages. I’m sure they work well with some bottles, just not my Podium Chill bottles.

Nice cages if you can get them to work.

Videonaut: I've always used the Elite Inox steel cages, but they've become extremely expensive. So I thought I'd give plastic a try. (Besides, it looks cool on my "vintage" carbon fiber bike.) (Though I'm not sure you're allowed to call a CF bike "vintage" yet. But at 23 years old it's at least close.) Anyway, asides aside, this thing does what it's supposed to do, so far. It holds my bottles in snugly and looks good doing it.

My only beef with it is how tight it is: you really need to SLAM the bottles in to get them all the way down. But I suppose that's preferable to the way the Inox would occasionally launch a bottle on bumpy segments, so tradeoff. Hopefully they'll loosen up a bit over time, or I'll just get acclimated to putting that extra oomph! into the bottle as I put it in.

Amazon Customer: Just bought a second one. I like this style better than the other metal kind. Using the new 24oz camelbak podium bottles and fit fine - a little tight at first then ok. Getting them out isn't the issue, I have more trouble getting them back in on the go but I am not the most coordinated person in the world! My biggest gripe is that with no bottle the edges are pointy and catch my legs sometimes. Probably more of a placement issue but there weren't a lot of places on my bike to add a bottle cage so, I'm stuck with it where it is.

Justin Lippert: Good little cage. However, I was searching for a bottle cage that, when placed horizontally between my arms (in time trial position) , would not eject bottles.

This was a pretty decent cage for that, but not perfect. After realizing this wasn’t perfect, I finally ponied up and got the x-lab gorilla. The only one that truly works is the X-lab Gorilla.

The last thing I want when racing an Ironman is to lose a bottle. That would be devastating as nutrition is so important.

I’m giving 4 stars because it is a good cage for normal use, but not the best for special circumstances.

Amdz13: Elite is one of the top manufactures of accessories for bicycles and this bottle cage doesn't disappoint. Very sturdy well made and seems super durable like nothing it's going to break it. Personally I think is ideal for the average bike or mountain bike also. The bottles hold firmly so you have to push and pull hard to remove it form the cage, the cages are Not that light as other reviewers noted, and in my case I was looking for light weight and easy on / off removal of water bottles so this product isn't for me but none the less is a great bottle cage for the price. Amazon as always super fast delivery !!!!
