For the first time am ahead:)))) used the alpitude cages for three years. They hold the bottles well but the base piece breaks after some time ( warranty replacement is quick). They look great and create this feeling that you can not just through the bottles in. One more thing, use the screws that came with it as other screws loosen up after two or three rides. Personally, I would not buy them again.

Maybe the stopper is a separate piece so that in case it breaks it can be replaced?

Couple of months and it holds perfectly well the water bottle and the tube/tools bottle 👍🏻

Not going to lie, my 8g aliexpress bottle cages have been suprisingly flawless for about 1.5 years now. Regularly running 650ml camelback bottles too. Highly recomend. But this Alpitude cage looks unreal!

Can you tell me the brand/model name ? As there is so many options there

There's the same issue with Tune's cages - I simply apply a long and wide enough strip of clear 3M tape for protecting a frame from being scratched. Peace!

Running the aliexpress version of these. One survived a full season of XCO type riding, regularly being used with a 750ml bottle, finally broke it when I crashed off a ~1.5m high north shore type skinny. Ordered another two immediately and those are running without any problems, however I had to put tape under the seat tube cage to stop it rubbing my frame.

the decathlon 7€ bottle cages are quite nice too. not as bling, but 28 grams for the price is pretty good i guess

When the holder breaks, it is maybe available as a spare part?

Weight weenie bottle cages are just not worth it. Had a carbon works china copy on my bike, the distance between bottle and frame is just to small. One(200km long) rainy gritty ride was enough to have the large bottle sand all the way through the paint and ruin my nice sekas paint job :(

I have the Topeak cages, but they are too delicate on the bonding area when the screws go, I have cracked a pair already. I wonder about the durability of these.

Interesting to hear… maybe that’s one reason they did got with the separate bottom tab. These are not “drilled”, instead molded with “unbroken” carbon around the screw holes.

@@slayerofgrams yeah I thought the same when I saw those before, if you have a chance later post an update replay about the durability I’m always set things at torque spec but I wonder about these

Tight enough to hold Elite Fly bottles ??

For me yes, not on gravel though… it won’t hold anything on gravel 😅

I use the Tune Wasserträger 2.0 (10 grams without the bolts) on my hardtail XC bike. They hold the Elite's perfectly, never lost a bottle.

with PEEK screws you can save a little bit more weight :D

I don't like the look of this Cage. I prefer the Voxom one which is lighter and probably holds the bottles better

Pretty sure it's only called Alpitude because their spell check wasn't working😂
