Adjustable Stainless Steel Single Bottle Carrier

Three Ways to Dial in Your Fit

  • Position: The mounting chassis has a high and a low position to allow you to adjust the system position on the saddle. Use the high position to tuck the system nice and tight under the saddle. Use the low position for extra room to clear saddles with transition hooks.
  • Rotational: The second adjustment offers 15 degrees of rotating cage adjustment to fine tune the cage angle.
  • Vertical: The cage mount bar offers 15 mm of vertical adjustment to raise or lower the cage’s position relative to the saddle.

Worry-Free Bottle Security

  • Sturdy and reliable stainless steel mount.
  • Your choice of either our world famous GORILLA Cage with 10 lb or our GORILLA XT cage with 14 lb of grip to eliminate unexpected launches.
  • Anti-vibration locking hardware for safety and security.

Aerodynamic Sweet Spot

  • Our DELTA Systems, with the largest degree of adjustability of any rear carriers, allow you to place your bottle in the aerodynamic “sweet-spot” directly behind the rider, minimalizing drag and maximizing time gains.
  • Depending on rider speed, our DELTA Systems can save you between 120 to 165 seconds over the course of a full distance triathlon.
  • Eliminates the need for a frame bottle. Standard frame-mounted bottles have high aerodynamic drag, so place your bottle at the rear instead.

Refill Your Front Hydration System

  • Use the DELTA 400 to refill a front drink system, like the TORPEDO VERSA 200. Just bring the spare standard bottle forward from the DELTA 400 and use it to refill your TORPEDO BOTTLE. Quick, easy, and best of all, no need to stop your race or ride!
  • Using standard bottles? The DELTA 400 can store your extra full bottle until it’s time for a swap and then hold your empty for the rest of the ride.

Easy Storage Upgrades Available

  • Add the AERO POUCH 300. The tidiest repair storage solution for single bottle rear systems!
  • Add an XLAB MULTI-STRIKE REPAIR HOLDER – a compact storage bracket that sleekly mounts behind the cage! Carries a clincher repair kit – tube, tire levers, CO2 Cartridges and XLAB INFLATOR. It can also carry a full tubular setup including tubular tire and inflating foam sealant.
* It is not recommended the two storage options be used together due to the additional weight load on the rear carrier’s mount.

Why Mount a Rear Carrier?

When a rider drafts behind another rider, the rider behind has a reduction in power required due to having less drag as they are riding in the low pressure wake of the rider in front. This can be as high as a 29% reduction. The other result is that the rider in front also goes faster as the air sees the two riders as virtually connected and the airstream jumps the gap between the riders, causing a lower drag on the front rider.

So the idea is to place the rear bottle in the draft of the rider, in other words in the low pressure area usually in the location of the back of the seat/seatpost. One is trying to basically fill in the low pressure void behind the rider.

Testing Methods

This has been validated in Tunnels all over the world for years but recently reaffirmed with Velodrome testing using the Alphamantis technology with world champions who are able to hold constant aero positions and power outputs.

Proven Results

Adding a single bottle at the back reduced the full distance race time by 102 seconds (1 min 42 secs) with a 200 watt output. This saving is in addition to the time saved by removing the bottle and cage from the downtube.
