The Arundel DTR adapts the Mandible cage design for down tube mounting with right-side entry. DTR stands for Down Tube Right, which tells you exactly where it mounts and which direction bottles slide in from. The side-loading configuration solves clearance problems on compact frames, makes bottle access possible with frame bags installed, and works on full-suspension mountain bikes where traditional top-loading cages become difficult to use.

Built with the same carbon construction and foam core arms as the standard Mandible, the DTR delivers the same secure bottle grip that made the Mandible a favorite among riders who refuse to lose bottles on rough terrain. The geometrically-shaped arms flex just enough to accept bottles smoothly but return to their original position to maintain consistent grip pressure. That balance between security and accessibility came from two years of development and testing, including use in MTB World Cup competition where equipment gets stressed beyond what most recreational riders will ever encounter.

Four mounting holes give you flexibility in positioning the cage on your frame. Two sets of holes sit 20 millimeters apart vertically, which lets you mount the cage higher for standard frame geometry or drop it lower to clear your top tube when running larger bottles or frame bags. The side-entry angle lines up naturally with your hand position when you reach for the bottle, making insertion and removal smoother than some traditional cages even when clearance isn't an issue....
