-
Grip: Strong bottle retention, even on rough roads or trails
-
Shape: Based on the Dave-O design, so it balances easy access with a secure hold
-
Mounting: Two sets of bolt holes → lets you fine-tune positioning on your frame
What it’s good for
- Everyday road cycling
- Gravel or light MTB riding where you still want reliable bottle grip
