About this deal

For most of you reading this, the most important function of a bottle cage is that it holds your bottles securely, without making it too hard to actually release them. I tested the Elite Vico Carbon cage with a number of bottles, and with Elite's own it's brilliant. Other bottles can be a bit of a squeeze, though. Its unique design and its innovative graphic makes VICO perfect for cutting-edge bikes and also ideal for small sloping frames with smaller central triangles. Das spritzgegossene Carbon des Vico ist erheblich stärker als das mit Glasfaser angereicherte Harz, das bei unserem Custom Race Plus verwendet wird, sodass Elite überschüssiges Material entfernen kann. Das Ergebnis ist ein Endgewicht, das etwa halb so hoch ist wie das der Harzversion It’s perfectly possible to store bottles in these locations, but they are less accessible than inside the main frame of the bike. How do you add more bottle cage mounts? Delivery timescales are esimates in working days; Public Holidays, Saturday's and Sunday's are NOT classed as working days.

Although the retention system is mainly focused around the bottom end of the cage, it's easy to get an Elite bottle in there and you're unlikely to 'miss' if you're not looking at what you're doing. I’d been using Elite’s Vico Carbon cage at the same time as the Custom Race Plus. It too offered a snug fit but it was somewhat easier to remove the bottle on this model. I wondered if the carbon cages' internal ridges were a factor and if so did the FRP material stop Elite using them on the Custom Race Plus? If you wish to return your bike to us please keep it in the box it arrived in and call us on 01772 644340 and we will arrange a collection. The role of a bottle cage is a simple one. But at the heart of its job description lies a balance. How do you both hold a bottle securely yet allow it to be removed easily while on the move, often at speed? The Vico chooses to place greater emphasis on bottle retention and did this with great success. The bottle didn’t move a fraction even when riding on very poor quality road surfaces and there were no annoying rattles or vibrations. The trade off was that the Vico doesn’t relinquish its firm grip without a bit of gentle persuasion. However, it didn’t cause any real difficulties once I had got used to it. All in all, it’s a cage that would be a worthy addition to any road or gravel bike. Specs A new registered design enhances the bottle cage with a firmer grip even in extreme conditions, as well as easier and smoother bottle insertion/removal.arrange delivery for another day or collect your goods from your local depot (a photo ID with proof of Elite's own bottles push in with a reassuring clunk as the shape of the bottle fits in perfectly to the shaped cage, and once in there, it's definitely not moving. When you want to release the bottle, it's a little firm but easy enough; a consequence of the fact that it holds your bottles so well. The insert sits at the front of the cage and when combined with a shape that envelops the bottle up high as well as at the sides results in a cage capable of giving any bottle a bear hug.
