Elegant, Timeless, & Extremely Secure
The King Cage Iris Bottle Cage utilizes hollow, large-ish diameter stainless steel tubing, which weighs next to nothing, but the real magic is in the Iris' unique and highly functional design.
Aside from a timeless classic French randonneuring aesthetic, the Iris cage may possibly be the most bottle-secure adventure cages on the market. Rather than the traditional single-sided pressure-cradle design which can loosen over time, the Iris employs an elegant dual-sided V-shaped retention layout with a small tailstop to lock bottles firmly in place no matter what the terrain.
And because there is no upper backplate offset, which traditional cage designs use to lock standard cycling bottles in place, the Iris cage can be used with 27oz non-insulated and 16oz insulated Kleen Kanteens for bikepacking.
Features:
- 304 Stainless Steel won't mark up your bottle
- Elegant bottle hugging design locks bottles down
- Compatible with longer, non-traditional Kleen Kanteen-style bottle shapes
- Hand-Made in Durango, CO
- Mounts to standard bottle cage bosses
- Weight: 48g

Very solid - steel is always real
I use these on my bikepacking rig. Having the tubing go over the bottle rather than under is very helpful when keeping it in place while riding technical terrain. You really can't ask for more out of a cage that also looks pretty amazing at the same time. A very solid piece for any serious rider.

Super Secure Bottle Cage
Great bottle cage. Using this on my gravel bike to hold the tool bottle underneath the downtube. I use an additional velcro strap to help hold the bottle in place but the bottle cage along is super secure and tight. Stainless steel seems strong and won't break like aluminum or carbon.

Great cage
I think the carbon cages are ridiculously expensive and ugly.
These are gorgeous and work great.

Stainless steel cages are the best.
You have to look closely to see the design is a little different. I can't tell whether it is better, but it works great. I was suspicious of my carbon cage from the start. It only lasted ten years. Back to stainless steel for me - more durable and a lot less expensive.

Classy looking bottle cage yet functional
I've used this bottle cage for a couple of months now and find that this cage works better than most cages because it fits my KleanKanteen better and it doesn't rattle.
The look was also one of the reason I bought this cage.

Very pretty! And a pretty darn good grip!
Super neat design, firm grip on the bottles, and they really don't mark up the bottle!

Good-looking cage that works well with stainless and other metal bottles
Bought one for my road bike. With a 30-min commute, I go on rides longer than an hour infrequently, so I wanted to just be able to use my everyday stainless insulated bottle (same size as Klean Kanteen). This lets me do that without marking my bottle up like an aluminum cage probably would. When I'm not carrying water, it's light enough for my taste and looks pretty good doing nothing.
May not recommend for someone trainingracing who needs to hydrate much more frequently than I do - the design is such that you can't tilt the bottle until it's pretty far out of the cage already - but if you're a serious roadie you're likely not looking at this anyway.

Holds everything!
I bought this as the third bottle holder to fit under the down tube on my Wi.De. I already had two on the traditional spots, and had to whale on them a bit so I could actually get the water bottles out without a major effort. I had a less stout cage there to carry my water bottle storage unit, but it disappeared after a bumpy ride. Now it�s totally locked down.

Perfect
This cage just doesn't let go, I've never lost a bottle or even had one come mildly loose, even on the roughest descents. I use these on my road bike for the light weight and my mountain bike for the good grip. It's lighter than many aluminum cages and can be bent back into shape if it gets mangled in a crash.

Great bottle cage
I like the upside down design and the fact that my metal water bottle is silent when seated in the cage.

classic awesome cages
Great finish, classic, relatively lightweight for the material. Definitely one of the prettier cages ever made. Might not fit every frame as well. In my guess these actually fit better though.

Elegant, functional awesomeness
The Iris cage is sleek and sexy, and gently flexes to hold a variety of water bottles. I use stainless Klean Kanteen bottles, that rattle in other cages and are held securely in these. Made in USA, steel is real. LOVE these.
