XLAB Sidekick Carbon Bottle Cage
The Sidekick features a unique design that makes accessing water bottles from the left or right effortless, perfect for bicycles with tight geometry or for use with frame bags.
Available in two variants, left or right, each cage is optimized for entry and removal from the designated side i.e. the left cage would be easier to remove with your left hand when mounted on the downtube, and your right hand when mounted to your seat tube.
Features:
- Lightweight, sleek looking carbon fiber
- Low cut side with flared entry lip provides fast bottle access
- Tight 8lbs grip force (approx) on bottles
- Thick bottom tab keeps larger bottles in their place
- Slotted holes for a custom position fit for your bike

So far so good
I have only used this bottle cage a couple of times but it seems to hold my bottles pretty securely.
My bike frame is size Small and I use a 20 or 24 oz bottle so having the side release is helpful.

Expensive but worth it!
Buy once is my motto. Bought these for my gravel bike for Bikepacking trips. The frame bag made it hard to access the bottles with a top loading cage. This was the perfect solution. I liked these bottle cages so much I got a set in Matt black for my new Canyon Ultimate road bike. I find the side loading cages easier to use. This will probably be my new go to cage for all my bikes. Like I said expensive but worth it.

Great cage for limited frame space
Bottle is easily removed, yet doesn�t fall out. Extremely lightweight and looks great!

This cage holds a full bottle over New York City torturous terrain when other asymmetrical cages have failed.
