Selecting a cage over the past century has typically been based on weight, color, style and price. But as more riders move off-road, the requirements change to become bottle retention, ease of bottle access and reinsertion, and then weight, color, style and price. We wanted to design the ultimate side access cage for those who want the best. Using matched high pressure, high temperature molds and high strength carbon fiber matrix we are able to create a cage that grips the bottle so well that it takes an 8 lbs (3.6 kg) pull to extract the bottle. Every curve and thickness of the design has been optimized to produce the unique and highly effective Sideburn 8 cage for tough terrain with obstacles up to 8 inches (20 cms) high. Features Carbon hook projects 5 mm into bottle groove for excellent bottle retention Deep cut away 60 mm (2/4”) for fastest access Logos in “dirty snow” finish 3 mm Thick solid carbon shelf to handle heavy bottles Matte Midnight 4k carbon Black weave finish Funnel edged lips for easy insertion Special high temperature high pressure doubled molded carbon fiber composit for great rigidity. Only 33 grams.
