This guide is for cyclists seeking a lightweight and easy-to-access bottle cage, ideal for smaller frames, MTB, and gravel bikes. The Elite Prism offers a secure hold with a convenient side-entry design, though its compact nature may limit compatibility with oversized bottles. Key features include its durable carbon construction, ambidextrous accessibility (though this specific model is left-entry), and Italian design.

Yes, the side-entry design is ideal for full-suspension MTBs, especially on smaller frames where top access can be difficult.
Left-hand entry cages are designed to be pulled out from the left side of the bike, while right-hand entry cages are pulled from the right. This specific model is for left-hand entry.
This cage is optimized for standard water bottles. Oversized or unusually shaped bottles may not fit securely.
Use a soft cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers to protect the finish.
Typically, bottle cages do not include mounting screws, as most bikes come with them pre-installed or use the ones from a previously installed cage. Please check the product packaging for specifics.
The 'Black Glossy Red' refers to the aesthetic finish of the bottle cage, likely a black base with glossy red accents or detailing.
It indicates that the cage has been manufactured using materials that have a reduced environmental impact compared to conventional alternatives.
Ensure you are using a standard-sized bottle. Check that the cage is mounted correctly and screws are tight. For very rough terrain, consider adding a retention strap or using a cage designed for extreme conditions.
Confirm you have the correct hand entry (left-hand for this model). Ensure no obstructions are present. For new cages, a brief break-in period might be needed, or try inserting and removing the bottle several times.
Check that the mounting screws are adequately tightened. Clean the cage and bottle contact points. A small amount of bike-specific lubricant or anti-seize compound on the screw threads might resolve creaking from the mount.
Setup:
The Elite Prism bottle cage is designed to be mounted on standard bottle cage bosses found on most bicycle frames. Use the provided or appropriate M5 screws (not included) to attach the cage. Ensure the screws are tightened securely but do not overtighten, as this can damage the carbon material or frame threads.
