Product Information

Full details

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.

FAQs

What makes the side-entry design beneficial?

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.

Is this cage suitable for all types of bikes?

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.

What is the warranty if I use a non-Elite bottle?

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.

How much does the Elite Prism Carbon bottle cage weigh?

The cage weighs approximately 33 grams, making it exceptionally light.

How do I know if I need the right-hand or left-hand entry model?

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.

Can I use any type of water bottle with this cage?

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.

Where is this bottle cage made?

The Elite Prism Carbon bottle cage is designed and proudly made in Italy.

Troubleshooting

Bottle is difficult to insert or remove.

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.

Bottle rattles or falls out during riding.

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.

Cage appears loose on the frame.

Re-tighten the mounting bolts using appropriate tools. Ensure the mounting bosses on the frame are clean and undamaged.

Scratching or damage to the carbon finish.

Clean with a soft, damp cloth only. Avoid contact with sharp objects or abrasive surfaces. Handle with care during installation and removal.
