Description of Elite Custom Bottle Black White

How do you follow one of the most iconic product designs in professional cycling By improving it of course! Over the past decade the Elite Custom Race has become almost ubiquitous in the World Tour peloton, for several years over 50% of riders in the Tour De France were using them, a level of domination almost unmatched by any manufacturer in modern times. Elite have been working with some of their most trusted athletes to get detailed feedback on where the Custom Race could be improved. The result is the Custom Race Plus, it's the Custom Race, but fine tuned with a precise eye for detail. By increasing the size and changing the alignment of the tension rubber Elite were able to eliminate the 'bottle creep' that could affect the old design in gritty conditions. Reshaping the sides has also allowed greater flexibility in bottle insertion and reduced binding during removal. Weighing just 38 grams and made with pride in Italy.

Firm enough to keep your bottles in place on uneven terrain.

I saw another reviewer here complain about the cages holding the bottle too tight but this is exactly the feature i was looking for. For those who only ride on slick pavement, these cages can get you frustrated. But for gravel riders and mountain bikers who are tired of turning around to find discarded bottles (or worse, losing water/electricity during a race), this is the solution. I recently did a long gravel race and never lost a bottle, although I saw bottles everywhere on fast, bumpy…

Pros
