Proven Design!

Reliable Grip

A cage you can depend on. 

  • Nylon Matrix Composite: The VEE Cage is made of a strong, but lightweight nylon matrix composite.
  • Top Cage Hook: We add a stiff top cage hook to fully engage your bottle’s neck groove and lock the bottle onto the cage.
  • Bottle Conforming Arms: The VEE Cage’s arms are designed with high arching arms, giving it unparalleled cage / bottle friction for a non-carbon cage.

Bottle Hugging Design

The key to the VEE Cage‘s effectiveness is in the design!

  • Through the use of a rubberized arm brace, the VEE Cage’s arms automatically conform to a standard water bottle’s shape.
  • The rubberized brace also acts as a vibration dampener, helping prevent your bottle from shaking loose on rough roads.

Positioning

Optimized for In-the-Frame or Between-the-Arms mounting.

  • The VEE Cage works perfectly as a frame cage. Mount it on your seat tube or your down tube for superior bottle retention.
  • The VEE Cage is standard issue for our VERSA 200 and TORPEDO 50+ front hydration systems. Need a replacement cage for your TORPEDO VERSA system? Be sure to order from our TORPEDO VEE CAGE SPARE page to ensure you receive the correct hardware.

Need even more grip?

Pair our cages with our COOL SHOT or AQUA SHOT bottles and gain an additional 2-3 lb, of grip! Our bottles are designed to securely lock into XLAB cages.

  • Our COOL SHOT bottle is the perfect complement to all of our cages. Insulated, light-reflective, and a secure sealing high flow nozzle make it a must-have on your daily rides & races.
  • Our AQUA SHOT bottle is designed with racing in mind. Fluid level graduations printed on the side, self-sealing nozzle, and quick squeeze and drink action will have you turning to it on race day.

Compatibility

One of the most important facts in bottle retention is the interface between cage and bottle.

  • To ensure the best possible fit with the VEE Cage, use a bottle that has a consistent groove all the way around it’s neck. It should be uniform and fit tightly against the VEE Cage‘s top retaining hook. The bottle surface should be smooth without raised texture. For best results, use our auto-nozzle AQUA SHOT or our insulated COOL SHOT bottles.

Installation

Proper installation of the cage will provide you with years of trouble free use and ensure maximum performance.

  • Always use the proper tools to install your cages.
  • This VEE Cage will come with hardware for frame mounting. To use on a Torpedo Versa system, please purchase the Torpedo VEE Cage spare which has different hardware, specific for horizontal mounting.
  • Bolts should be properly torqued. VEE Cages should be tightened to 1.7 Nm (15-in-lb) of torque.

Care

As with all cycling accessories, our cages require regular care.

  • Leaving your bottle inserted in the cage for long periods of time can potentially deform and/or damage your bottle. Both of which can compromise bottle retention. We always recommend that you remove your bottles from their cages when not in use.
  • Friction between the cage and bottle is an important component in bottle retention. Residue build up, dirt, impact damage, and scaring can all effect how well your cage works. As with any cycling accessory, our cages should be regularly checked for damage and cleaned.
