Review on 🦍 Enhanced Black Carbon Cage - XLAB Gorilla XT by Veeravelu Tang

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Searching for the best cage I came across this one and was hoping for 14lbs.

I ride a Santa Cruz Bronson and my bottle cage sits on the underside of the down tube which puts a lot of strain on the cage on steep descents. I broke 2 Ibera carbon frames and couldn't find an aluminum frame that stayed strong enough to keep the bottle from falling throughout the ride. I stumbled across this looking for a better cage and was hoping the 14lb holding power would work, well it works amazingly. I keep the bottle in a tank top for easy access and flip it over with the cage bottle when it's empty. This gorilla cage is so cramped that I would not recommend it as a main cage. I use this with my non-insulated Camelbak Podium bottles and have never had a problem.

Pros
  • Delivery was very quick
Cons
  • Some issues
