GORILLA XT
The ultimate in bottle retention. We start with the same proven design and shape of the World Champion GORILLA CAGE and beef it up to 14 pounds of grip! Extreme conditions call for extreme grip.
Bottle Retention
- More Grip: Extra layers of carbon fiber add over 4 lb of additional grip than our standard GORILLA CAGE, making it the perfect cage choice when seeking the ultimate in bottle retention. Rough roads? This cage can handle them.
- More Friction: We added more carbon fiber layers into the spring-loaded arms, compressing the bottle and ultimately increasing the friction between cage and bottle.
- More Strength: We paid special attention to the top hook and the bottle shelf, increasing the cage thickness and durability in these key locations. This allows you to carry heavy bottles on rougher roads.
Accessibility
- A flared cage opening assists blind bottle access when you need to be focused on the road ahead.
- Arched cage arms positioned to grip mid-bottle help retain the bottle throughout your ride.
- A narrow center opening maximizes the amount of contact around the bottle and helps encourage vertical bottleremoval, matching the natural movement of your arm.
- Fine tune your cage positioning with long mounting slots.
Positioning
- Our GORILLA XT is the athlete’s go-to cage choice, when ultimate grip is a necessity. The GORILLA XT features the same high-tech shape and design of our standard GORILLA CAGE proving it excels at Behind-the-Saddle mounting.
- It also excels as an In-the-Frame cage, and is a great choice for those items that you only need occasional access to, such as storage pods and canisters.

Best in the market. Just be careful before buying because it doesn't fit with every bottle sold these days (like CamelBak Podium, for instance).

When you absolutely need your water bottles to stay fast when riding, these are IT. Regardless of terrain, bumps in the road, this cage holds the bottles all of the time.

I mounted mine to an behind the seat carrier since my Sondors MXS didn't come with the normal mounting brackets. Since it was behind me I wanted to make sure the bottle was gripped. This thing does its job. Just use a bottle with the proper indentation and you will not drop a bottle.

Water bottle cage has worked great on the rear mount of my TT bike. No ejection issues. However, take note of XLab recommendation that water bottles with indentations on the neck ensure a secure fit in the cage. 20+ ounce water bottles may not fit as securely without the indentation at the appropriate height. My only complaint is that the seller originally shipped the wrong color, but Amazon quickly replaced.

My husband is very happy with this product. He just recently bought a tri bike and one of these water bottles. I found them on here much cheaper than at the bike store. We are very happy with the purchase and will probably order another one soon.

Ya know paid big money for the "best" cages (and xlab bracket) on the market - they look awesome on my bike! - still in mild road conditions of patched pavement; two bottle launces within 105 road miles traveled. (yes I have the xlab insulated bottles as well). Not returning but was hoping for better results.

Holds tight onto non-xlab branded water bottles even as a rear carrier over cobblestone. Previously I would launch bottles every time on our terrible Rhode Island streets with the "regular" Gorilla, which are now on my road bike's tubes.
