FAQs
Does this system fit all saddle types?
It is designed to fit most standard saddle rails, but check your saddle's rail length and shape to ensure the clamp has enough clearance.
What is the weight of the complete kit?
The total system weight is 186 grams.
Can I adjust the angle of the cages?
The kit allows for 1 inch of vertical height adjustment to suit your preference.
Are the cages compatible with standard bike bottles?
Yes, the Xenon cages are compatible with standard-sized cycling water bottles.
What material is the mounting hardware?
The mounting brackets are constructed from durable 6061-T6 aluminum.
Troubleshooting
Bottle is difficult to remove from the cage
Ensure the bottle is not pushed too deep into the cage and verify the cage angle is adjusted correctly for your reach.
System vibrates or sways during use
Check that the mounting bolts on the saddle rails are fully tightened and that the bracket is centered.
Bottle ejects on bumps
Verify you are using standard cycling water bottles and that the Xenon cage arms are not bent or obstructed.
Pros and Cons

- Limited compatibility with some saddle rail shapes

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation involves securing the 6061-T6 aluminum brackets directly to your saddle rails. It is recommended to use a torque wrench to ensure the bolts are tightened to the manufacturer's specifications without over-stressing the metal rails of your seat. To maintain the system, periodically check the hardware for vibrations caused by road chatter and ensure the cage bolts remain snug. Clean the Xenon cages with a damp cloth if they accumulate sports drink residue or road grime to maintain the high-grip efficacy of the material.
