Review by CO CyclistReviewed 1/20/2023by CO CyclistCycling EnthusiastCOBest 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.

Review by pedalmikeReviewed 5/29/2023by pedalmikeCycling EnthusiastTucson, AZ + CTIt Just WorksI 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.

Review by AnonymousReviewed 5/18/2023by AnonymousCentral Florida Holds Water Bottles SnugI 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.

Review by LoditrekerReviewed 10/22/2014by LoditrekerCycling EnthusiastLodi, CA1 of 1 customers found this review helpful.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.

Review by tracyaReviewed 8/8/2014by tracyaCycling EnthusiastSeattle, WA2 of 2 customers found this review helpful.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.

Review by TypeeteReviewed 9/19/2022by TypeeteIndianaTighter 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.

Review by Michigan bikerReviewed 6/2/2022by Michigan bikerCompetitive RacerSE MichiganThe 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.

Review by DKeithReviewed 4/22/2022by DKeithMonument COExcellent light bottle cageThere 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.

Review by sjhaynes7Reviewed 12/28/2021by sjhaynes7Competitive RacerKansas CityGood bottle cageLooks 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.

Review by OR/MI RiderReviewed 12/23/2021by OR/MI RiderCompetitive RacerMichiganExpensive 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.

Review by SpencerReviewed 8/23/2021by SpencerCompetitive RacerIndianapolisThe 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!

Review by CSCylistReviewed 5/19/2021by CSCylistCompetitive RacerMt Holly, NJ1 of 1 customers found this review helpful.Best Carbon Cage you can getI'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!

Review by bobvinReviewed 4/6/2015by bobvinCycling EnthusiastPortland2 of 2 customers found this review helpful.Awesome grip and a sleek profileReplaced 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.

Review by LoditrekerReviewed 10/20/2014by LoditrekerCycling EnthusiastLodi, CA1 of 1 customers found this review helpful.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.

Review by AnonymousReviewed 7/4/2014by AnonymousCompetitive RacerNew Mexico2 of 2 customers found this review helpful.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...

Review by DerekReviewed 11/15/2021by DerekCaliforniaBest bottle cage madeVery light, looks good and I've never had a bottle ejected even on some rough gravel roads in 7 years of use. Expensive but they will last as long as your bike will.
