Product Information
Full details
The Elite Rocko Carbon Cage is designed for cyclists seeking a lightweight and versatile bottle carrying solution, particularly those with compact or uniquely shaped bike frames. Its key benefit is the secure, easy access to your bottle from the side or front, a feature crucial for smaller frame geometries. A potential caveat is its minimalist design, which may require careful bottle selection for optimal retention on extremely rough rides. This cage offers exceptional strength at an ultra-lightweight of 21-25 grams, ensuring it won't hinder performance. It's crafted from injection-molded carbon and proudly made in Italy.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
What is the weight of the Elite Rocko Carbon Cage?
The Elite Rocko Carbon Cage weighs approximately 21-25 grams, making it exceptionally lightweight.
Can I insert the bottle from the front as well as the side?
Yes, the innovative design allows for easy side or front bottle insertion and removal, which is particularly useful for bikes with limited frame space.
Is this cage suitable for mountain biking?
Yes, it is designed for secure retention, making it suitable for various cycling disciplines, including mountain biking, especially on frames where access is limited.
What material is the cage made from?
The cage is constructed from injection-molded carbon.
Where is the Elite Rocko Carbon Cage made?
It is proudly designed and made in Italy.
Will this cage fit any standard water bottle?
The cage is designed to fit standard bicycle water bottles. However, due to its secure retention, very smooth-surfaced bottles might be more prone to rattling on extremely rough rides.
How do I clean the carbon cage?
Clean the cage with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the carbon finish.
Troubleshooting
Bottle feels loose or rattles
Ensure the cage is securely bolted to the frame. Try a bottle with a slightly different diameter or shape, or consider using a bottle with a grippier texture.
Difficulty inserting or removing bottle
Check for obstructions in the cage. Ensure the bottle is inserted straight. On very rough terrain, the retention might be extra secure; try a slightly different angle for removal.
Cage appears damaged after a fall
Visually inspect the cage for cracks or significant stress marks. If damage is suspected, replace the cage to ensure safety and reliability.
