Review on 🦍 Enhanced Black Carbon Cage - XLAB Gorilla XT by Flex Graham

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Holding a bottle. HERE

2013 Oceanside 70.3 - a few kilometers on the bike there is a big bump. I was in the second to last wave so there were about 2000+ people ahead of me. Literally hundreds of water bottles are strewn across this hill. These people have NOT used Gorilla XT. As I drove over a bump, the guy in front of me *almost* lost his rear bottle - it's hanging by a string in a cage. I drive to him and report - a bottle saved. What I can say about this cage is that it won't let go of your bottle. It makes getting in and out a bit difficult, but I use a refillable Speedfil A2 on the front so I only have to access my other bottles once to refill the Speedfil. If you want a cage that won't "walk" your rear mounted bottles, this is the one for you. A lot of thought and planning can go into an IM or semi-IM (or century trip) meal plan, don't let that plan slip away. Works great, looks great in bare carbon. 5 Stars.

Pros
  • Very good value for money
