???? What it is
PRO Bottle Side Cage Alloy
A lightweight aluminium water bottle holder that lets you remove your bottle from the side instead of straight up.
???? What it does
- Holds a standard bike water bottle securely
- Lets you slide the bottle out sideways (left or right depending on version)
- Designed for easier access in tight frame spaces
???? Especially useful when a normal top-entry cage is hard to use.

- Use frame bags or suspension layouts
- Want easier bottle access while riding
