Product Information
Full details
The Lezyne CNC Alloy Bottle Cage is designed for performance-minded cyclists who require a lightweight and secure hydration storage solution. Featuring a robust, heat-treated aluminum construction, this cage excels at holding bottles firmly on rough terrain while maintaining easy accessibility during rides; however, its rigid metallic design may be less forgiving to plastic bottle surfaces over extended long-term use compared to softer composite cages.

FAQs
Does this cage include mounting bolts?
No, the cage is typically installed using the standard bolts already present on your bicycle frame.
Is this cage suitable for mountain biking?
Yes, the integrated upper catch is designed specifically to keep bottles secure on rough, uneven terrain like mountain bike trails.
Can I use this with large insulated bottles?
It is designed for standard cycling water bottles. Very large, wide, or thick-walled insulated bottles may be too tight to fit securely.
Will the aluminum scratch my bottle?
The edges are designed to be smooth, but as with any metal cage, consistent friction against plastic bottles may cause minor cosmetic surface wear over time.
How do I clean the cage?
Simply rinse it with water and mild soap, then wipe it dry with a clean cloth.
What is the weight of the cage?
The Lezyne CNC Alloy Bottle Cage weighs approximately 39 grams.
Troubleshooting
Bottle is loose in the cage
Gently squeeze the sides of the aluminum cage inward to increase the tension on the bottle.
Cage rattles against the frame
Verify that the mounting bolts are tightened properly. If the rattle persists, check if the cage is touching the frame and consider adding a small rubber washer behind the cage.
Difficulty inserting the bottle
Check that the cage is centered on the frame bolts and that the bottle is not being obstructed by a frame bag or other accessories.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Extremely lightweight at approximately 39g
- Highly durable heat-treated aluminum construction
- Excellent bottle retention due to the integrated upper catch
- Easy to adjust thanks to ovalized mounting holes
- Sleek, minimalist aesthetic
Cons
- Rigid metal construction can scratch plastic bottles over time
- Less flexibility than composite or carbon fiber models
- Requires careful installation to avoid frame rub
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation is straightforward. Use the two standard mounting bolts provided with your bicycle frame to secure the cage through the ovalized holes. Ensure you do not overtighten the bolts, as this can deform the aluminum bracket.
Compatibility: This cage is designed to fit standard bicycle water bottles. Because of the rigid aluminum structure, it is recommended to use standard plastic bidons.
Care: To maintain the finish, wipe the cage down with a damp cloth after rides in muddy or wet conditions. If you notice the cage losing its grip over years of heavy use, you can gently squeeze the aluminum ribs inward to restore the original tension.
