Nineteen grams sits at the featherweight end of bottle cage construction. The ENVE Carbon Bottle Cage reaches that number through full carbon fiber construction while maintaining the grip strength and durability that heavier cages provide. Lightweight carbon cages have earned a reputation for either ejecting bottles on rough roads or gripping so loosely that bottles rattle and creep upward with every bump. ENVE addressed both failure modes, tuning the cage geometry and carbon layup to hold bottles securely without the death grip that makes mid-ride hydration a wrestling match.

The cage works across disciplines because bottle retention requirements don't change much between road, gravel, mountain, and cyclocross applications. What changes is the severity of impacts and vibration the cage encounters. Gravel washboard and mountain bike chatter test retention more aggressively than smooth pavement, and the ENVE cage handles both ends of that spectrum. Bottles stay put over choppy surfaces while remaining accessible when you need to drink. The carbon construction also eliminates the paint-rubbing and finish wear that metal cages inflict on bottle graphics over time.

Standard two-bolt mounting fits any frame with conventional bottle cage bosses. The cage accepts standard cycling water bottles in the 21-26 ounce range that dominate the market, providing both side entry and vertical extraction depending on your preference and frame clearance. The sleek profile tucks close to the frame without the visual bulk that some cages introduce, keeping your cockpit looking clean if aesthetics matter alongside function.... Read More
