Product Information

Full details

The XLab Delta 105 is designed for competitive triathletes and endurance cyclists looking to optimize their bike's aerodynamics by repositioning hydration behind the saddle. This system provides a stable, vibration-free platform that reduces drag compared to traditional frame-mounted cages; however, users should be aware that the system is strictly for rear-mount use and does not include a bottle in the package.

FAQs

Does the XLab Delta 105 come with a bottle?

No, the system includes the mounting bracket and the Xenon cage, but the bottle is not included.

Will this fit any saddle?

It is designed to fit most standard saddle rails, but it may not be compatible with certain proprietary or highly integrated rail systems.

Can I use this with a seat bag?

Compatibility with seat bags depends on the size of the bag and the mounting position, though it may be tight depending on your specific saddle configuration.

Is the material durable?

Yes, the system is constructed with durable nylon, designed to withstand the vibrations and stresses of long-distance cycling.

How do I ensure the bottle doesn't fall out?

The Xenon cage features high-grip properties specifically engineered to hold bottles securely even on rough terrain.

Troubleshooting

The system rattles during rides

Check all mounting bolts on the saddle rails and ensure the cage is securely attached to the bracket.

Bottle is difficult to insert

Ensure the cage is mounted at an angle that accommodates your saddle position and check for any obstructions near the entry point.

Bracket shifts on saddle rails

Verify that the bracket is positioned on the straight section of the rails and tighten the hardware firmly.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly reduces aerodynamic drag
  • Secure hold prevents bottle ejection on bumpy roads
  • Easy-access funnel design for quick hydration
  • Robust and stable mounting prevents swaying

Cons

  • Bottle is not included with purchase
  • May interfere with some under-saddle seat bags
  • Limited to single-bottle capacity

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation of the Delta 105 involves securing the mounting bracket directly to the underside of your saddle rails. Ensure all bolts are tightened to the recommended torque specifications to prevent the unit from shifting during rides. Periodically check the mounting hardware after the first few rides to ensure no loosening has occurred. Clean the cage occasionally with mild soap and water to remove road grime and debris to maintain the integrity of the high-grip surface.
