Super Lightweight and Sturdy Carbon Bottle Cages for Little Money
The carbon bottle cage by Riderace is minimalistic, low-weight, and very affordable. The design is extremely stiff and bottles sit super tight in every situation.
When browsing on AliExpress, I recently came across some matte carbon bottle cages that promised to be ultra-low-weight at a super low price. I paid just under $20 for two of them, so just about $10 per bottle cage. If you buy the bottle cages separately, you will pay between $10-12. They weigh less than 20 grams, are incredibly well-made and super stiff.
The bottle sits super tight in its place with no rattling and no chance of falling out. Not even on the bumpiest roads, I ever dropped a bottle. The bottle cages are available in matte or glossy carbon finish, as well as in matte or glossy black painted versions. I bought the matte carbon optic version, which looks and feels very high-end, but is the priciest of all the options. My assumption to this is, that the manufacturer uses the highest quality carbon molds for this action, whereas they have the possibility to cover less perfect units with paint to hide the imperfections.
Conclusion
If you are looking for a minimalistic, super-low-weigh, and affordable bottle cage, the carbon bottle cage by Riderace could be for you. Weighing only 18 grams, being manufactured from a single piece of carbon mold at a price of only $10-12, this bottle cage is a really great deal. I have mine for quite a while already, it works flawlessly, and looks great on my bike.
