Sets the high bar for bottle cages.

I've used Arundel cages for the better part of 20 years. Occasionally I've strayed and have been seduced to use other brands, but I've always come back to Arundel. In my opinion, Arundel cages are the best for the money in terms of materials, weight, and most importantly - how well they grip your bottles. Not too tight that you can't easily grab a bottle while under riding or racing stress, and not too loose so that you're always "that rider" who keeps losing their bottles after hitting a bump in the road.

Thank you for your feedback.

Great product Arundel

Very nice bottle cage. Secure, lightweight and looks beautiful on the bike. An investment, but worth it.

Thank you for your feedback.

Beautiful and very secure

I have the carbon bottle cages on one road bike and the steel cages on another. Both are very secure and look awesome. I like them better than any other cages I've had I think. Somehow it's just easier to get the bottles in and out of while I'm riding but they aren't loose.

Thank you for your feedback.

Best Bottle Cage!!!

I use this cage on all my bikes. It has a strong grip and bottles won't go flying on their own. If you ride group events your fellow riders will thank you. Hands down the best bottle cage out their in my experience although it's a little $$$ at retail. I've reused for over a decade on multiple bikes so they travel well.

Doesn't work with Bivo Raw stainless bottles because it sounds like nails on a chalkboard and is hard (impossible???) to get bottles in and out. Works with the Bivo silicon coated bottles without any rattling... This is the price you pay for great bottle retention, I guess. Went with a stainless insulated bottle for better cold retention and no plastic taste. Can also clean up sports drinks better.

Thank you for your feedback.

Easy to install and very dependable with no water bottle slippage.

The traditional bottle cages were causing issues with the bottles falling out and causing possible injuries to other riders. The Arundel Mandible cages hold the bottles snug and not to tight for easy removal. The cages are light weight, strong, and are attractive yet very functional. The older style cages would allow the bottles to slip out when riding a bumpy road and be either broken or lost. Good product for the safety feature a bit pricey but well worth the investment. Nothing worst than to go backwards when looking for a water bottle during a ride.

Thank you for your feedback.

Best. Cage. Ever.

These are expensive, but worth it. They are the only cages I've found capable of securely holding bottles through the fast, rocky descents on my cross bike.

Thank you for your feedback.

It Just Works

I have had one set of Mandibles on a road bike for 13 years now. Never ejected a bottle in 25,000+ miles, positive in/out. I don't think about it. Highest compliment I can pay to a water bottle cage.

Thank you for your feedback.

Holds Water Bottles Snug

I bought these for a new bike. My old Zipp cages worked great for many years but were starting to flex a bit too much. I got these on sale, they shipped quickly and now have 300 miles on them. So far i am very happy with them.

Thank you for your feedback.

Tighter than a gorilla fist

Great hold for any terrain. Currently running them on my gravel bike. I have rode everything from single track to road and these cages don't let the bottles slip or dislodge. Super happy with the purchase and would recommend.

The best cage.

I bought these to replace some great King stainless cages on my gravel bike. The King cages still lost a (tall, full) bottle once and a while on really rough surfaces. That hasn't happened yet with the Arundel Mandible Carbon cages and the rough surfaces haven't changed. Bonus that they are ultralight and look fantastic. Worth the money.

Thank you for your feedback.

Excellent light bottle cage

There may be slightly lighter cages available but these are my favorite so far. They VERY SECURELY hold bottles and look very carbon sweet. I have both the matte and gloss version, it just depends on the look of that particular bike. They certainly aren't the cheapest but in this case you definitely get what you pay for.

Thank you for your feedback.

Good bottle cage

Looks good and works great. Bottles are easier to access than with the King cages I use on my other bike but they still keep the bottles from bouncing out on rougher roads, Can't speak on longevity yet but they seem well made and I don't expect any problems. A little on the expensive side.

Thank you for your feedback.

Expensive but awesome.

It's an expensive cage and I am not really a fan of carbon cages.

But Arundel makes fantastic stuff.

I wanted the best, most reliable cage to keep a bottle secure and this is it.

BTW, the "oil slick" finish is very nice.

Thank you for your feedback.

The last bottle cages you will ever need

Yep that is right - once you buy these, you will be done ever shopping for bottle cages. I have been a Arundel user for the last 6 years...I will not choose another brand. They are lightweight but more importantly I have never lost a bottle from them. And that is both on pothole ridden road rides and rough gravel adventures.

You will not be disappointed - go ahead, add to cart!

Thank you for your feedback.

Best Carbon Cage you can get

I've been through a lot of water bottle cages. Most lightweight cages either break after just a short period of use or don't hold bottles securely. These, however are both lightweight and strong. definitely the best cages I've ever used!

Awesome grip and a sleek profile

Replaced the great CYFAC cages that came with my bike, due to one having been stolen. These are not the very lightest cages, but offer super secure grip on your bottles which are not going to get launched when you hop over the next set of railroad tracks. I dig the look on my frame, I have a pair of them.

Thank you for your feedback.

The carbon cages were easy to install and hold the water bottles very tight with no slippage.

Previous to my purchase of the Mandible Carbon Cages I was using the more traditional water bottle cages and was having problems with the bottles falling out. This was a hazard when cycling with other riders and usually the bottle were either damaged or lost. The Mandible Carbon Cages are light weight and very strong they have a tight grip on the bottles but easy to remove. When riding over bumpy roads the bottles do not move or fall out. There is more cost but worth the investment. I have recommended the Mandibles Carbon Cages to other riders.

Thank you for your feedback.

Super light and super strong.

What is the saying, strong, light, cheap...pick two? It is amazing that a cage this light can be this strong. If there is any fault at all, it is that the bottle is VERY secure. There is no slippage, no rattling and absolutely no launching. This may be the best bottle cage ever designed. Light enough for the most expensive, light weight steeds, great carbon look and does its job to hold the bottle. What more can you ask for? Okay, maybe a little cheaper...

Thank you for your feedback.
