We start with the same proven design and shape of the World Champion GORILLA CAGE and beef it up to 14 pounds of grip! Extreme conditions call for extreme grip.Bottle RetentionMore Grip: Extra layers of carbon fiber add over 4 lb of additional grip than our standard GORILLA CAGE, making it the perfect cage choice when seeking the ultimate in bottle retention. Rough roads? This cage can handle them.More Friction: We added more carbon fiber layers into the spring-loaded arms, compressing the bottle and ultimately increasing the friction between cage and bottle.More Strength: We paid special attention to the top hook and the bottle shelf, increasing the cage thickness and durability in these key locations. This allows you to carry heavy bottles on rougher roads.AccessibilityA flared cage opening assists blind bottle access when you need to be focused on the road ahead.Arched cage arms positioned to grip mid-bottle help retain the bottle throughout your ride.A narrow center opening maximizes the amount of contact around the bottle and helps encourage vertical bottleremoval, matching the natural movement of your arm.Fine tune your cage positioning with long mounting slots.PositioningOur GORILLA XT is the athlete’s go-to cage choice, when ultimate grip is a necessity. The GORILLA XT features the same high-tech shape and design of our standard GORILLA CAGE proving it excels at Behind-the-Saddle mounting.It also excels as an In-the-Frame cage, and is a great choice for those items that you only need occasional access to, such as storage pods and canisters. ## Features - High Grip - Uses the same design as the standard Gorilla cage, but the Gorilla XT is engineered with extra carbon fiber layers to increase the grip force to 14 pounds. A robust bottom shelf provides support with heavy bottles. A reinforced top cage hook shaped to match the contours of your bottle, securely locking into the bottle’s neck. Properly supporting the bottle and locking it in place means fewer bottle ejections. - High Arched Arms – Tall cage arms positioned to grip mid bottle help retain the bottle throughout your ride. A narrow center opening maximizes the amount of contact around the bottle and helps encourage vertical bottle removal, matching the natural movement of your arm. A flared bottle opening assists blind bottle insertions when you need to be focused on the road ahead. - Purpose - Optimized for rear mounted hydration systems, but excels wherever installed. The increased grip force makes it a great choice for Triathlon and Road bikes where bottle ejection from rear carriers is a concern. Also performs well when used as a frame cage. Fits most standard diameter water bottles. For maximum grip, use a bottle that has a consistent groove all the way around its neck. It should be uniform and fit tightly against the Gorilla XT‘s top retaining hook. - Installation - Quickly and easily mounts with included bolts. Oval mounting holes allow for fine tuning cage placement. Perfect for down tube or seat tube installation. - Materials - Strong and durable (49 grams) cage is constructed out of a proprietary carbon fiber composite layup. Included steel mounting hardware is highly corrosion resistant. Carries a limited lifetime warranty. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00FAZH5VW | | Automotive Fit Type | Universal Fit | | Best Sellers Rank | #304,772 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) #496 in Bike Water Bottle Cages | | Brand Name | XLAB | | Capacity | 1 Fluid ounces | | Color | Matte Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (71) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00817195010987 | | Hand Orientation | both | | Included Components | Water Bottle Cages | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 10"L x 8"W x 2"H | | Item Weight | 0.07 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | XLAB | | Manufacturer Part Number | 2108 | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | Limited Warranty | | Material Type | Carbon | | Model Number | 2108 | | UPC | 817195010987 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** XLAB - **Color:** Matte Black - **Material:** Carbon - **Product Dimensions:** 10"L x 8"W x 2"H - **Unit Count:** 1.0 Count ## Images ![XLAB Gorilla XT Carbon Water Bottle Cage for Triathlon and Road Bikes 14 pounds of Grip Force – Matte Black | bike-water-bottle-cages - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71s5-XIGToL.jpg) ![XLAB Gorilla XT Carbon Water Bottle Cage for Triathlon and Road Bikes 14 pounds of Grip Force – Matte Black | bike-water-bottle-cages - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61M1TrZp9aL.jpg) ![XLAB Gorilla XT Carbon Water Bottle Cage for Triathlon and Road Bikes 14 pounds of Grip Force – Matte Black | bike-water-bottle-cages - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61C5RjHgOcL.jpg) ![XLAB Gorilla XT Carbon Water Bottle Cage for Triathlon and Road Bikes 14 pounds of Grip Force – Matte Black | bike-water-bottle-cages - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/712nx9r+03L.jpg) ![XLAB Gorilla XT Carbon Water Bottle Cage for Triathlon and Road Bikes 14 pounds of Grip Force – Matte Black | bike-water-bottle-cages - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71PaShC5WBL.jpg) ## Frequently Bought Together - XLAB Gorilla XT Carbon Water Bottle Cage for Triathlon and Road Bikes 14 pounds of Grip Force – Matte Black - XLAB Turbo Wing - XLAB Mini Bag --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sk/products/22010424-xlab-gorilla-xt-carbon-water-bottle-cage-for-triathlon-road](https://www.desertcart.sk/products/22010424-xlab-gorilla-xt-carbon-water-bottle-cage-for-triathlon-road) --- *Product available on Desertcart Slovakia* *Store origin: SK* *Last updated: 2026-08-09*
