The Elite Prism Carbon Bottle Cage (Right Hand Side Entry) is designed for cyclists seeking an ultralight, durable, and secure way to carry their water bottles, especially on bikes with limited frame space. Its primary benefit is the easy side-entry access, ideal for mountain bikes, smaller frames, or bikes with bags. A key consideration is that using non-Elite brand bottles (with some exceptions) may affect warranty and potentially make removal difficult.

The side-entry design allows for easier bottle access when space is limited, such as on smaller bike frames, full-suspension MTBs, or when using frame bags for bikepacking. It allows you to pull the bottle out from the side instead of directly upwards.
It is particularly well-suited for MTBs, smaller frames, and bikes with sloping top tubes or bikepacking setups. It can be used on road bikes, but the side-entry might be less critical unless frame space is unusually constrained.
The warranty may be voided if you use bottles other than Elite brand (excluding the DEBOYO model). It is recommended to use Elite bottles for full warranty coverage.
The cage weighs approximately 33 grams, making it exceptionally light.
The right-hand entry model is designed for insertion and removal from the right side when mounted on the down tube, and from the left when mounted on the seat tube. Consider how you will access the bottle most easily given your frame's geometry and your riding position.
While it is designed to hold standard bottles, Elite recommends using their own brand bottles for optimal fit and to maintain warranty. Some hard material bottles might be difficult to remove.
The Elite Prism Carbon bottle cage is designed and proudly made in Italy.
Ensure you are using a compatible bottle. Elite recommends their own brand bottles. If using a hard-shell bottle, try a slightly different insertion angle or consider a more flexible bottle. Ensure the cage is not deformed.
Check that the bottle is fully seated in the cage. Ensure the cage is securely mounted to the frame by tightening the mounting bolts. Try a different bottle with a more consistent profile.
Re-tighten the mounting bolts using appropriate tools. Ensure the mounting bosses on the frame are clean and undamaged.
Clean with a soft, damp cloth only. Avoid contact with sharp objects or abrasive surfaces. Handle with care during installation and removal.
