Ideal for both road and path riding where repeated bottle jarring isn't a concern, Bontrager's 5mm cage is constructed from lightweight 6061-T6 aluminum that's topped with a durable powder coat finish.

Add a review (form opens in right column) reviewed by jpo   on August 14, 2009   Pros Light, inexpensive, holds soft plastic bottles very well. Cons Won't hold anything other than "traditional" bottles Verdict Bought on clearance at LBS, didn't really need a cage but figured what the hell. Like has been said, really holds soft plastic bottles well, Nalgenes and the like not so much. Still, usually only wanted to hold the plastic bottles anyway! Recommended for: Anyone reviewed by guest on March 23, 2009   Pros Holds soft plastic bottles with ease. Cons Didn't hold my hard plastic nalgene bottles, frequently dumped them on the trail after sharp turns or bumpy sections. Scratched the hard plastic when riding. Verdict Overall a good bottle cage, my issues are more of a personal choice and I upgraded to the new nylon RL cage and haven't had any of the issues listed above. Recommended for: Value seekers reviewed by MtnBker26   on October 8, 2008   Pros It works with all my bottles Cons Expensive piece of aluminum for you bottle. Verdict I have three of them and so far so good I will end up buying more if needed Recommended for: Anyone
