This is one handsome bottle cage! It holds bottles tightly, is easy to place and remove bottles and did I mention it looks good too!
Finishing touches on my Dura-Ace Di2 disc build would not be complete with out two Arundel clear carbon fiber water bottle cages. Go big or go home!!!
The product is exactly as described, and works great
This is the perfect lightweight yet secure bottle cage - I love these so much I now have them on two high end carbon road bikes.
I lost two water bottles in races with my old cages. The Arundel have not let me down, especially at Snelling where there are some rough stretches.
Best bottle cages I've ever had. These look great, are light, and secure bottles well!!
Living up to all the positive reviews. Theres nothing cheap, nasty or wasteful about a cage like this ... representing money well spent.
My LBS carries the same product but at a considerably higher price. These are well made bike cages that will not release your bottle until you are ready to pull it from the cage. Cages are made locally, so I have to support them!
This cage is the perfect addition to a high-end carbon road bike. It really looks great and works well. I've been using it for almost a year now and I've never had a bottle bounce out.
The mandible is a great holder, it looks really cool on my Ridley. I would have given it 5 stars but it's a little snug putting in an insulated bottle like the Camelbak. Other non-insulated bottles work great, your bottle will stay put.
On my frame I have King Ti cages. However, I have attach XLab Super Wing to my seat for long rides where I need more than two bottles. The Super Wing cages are at a more horizontal angle than the frame cages and I went through a few different cages before I bit the bullet and bought the Mandible. The only time I have lost a bottle in them is when I didn't put one in properly. They hold my Camelback Podiums very securely. They look great, too, with different colors and finishes to choose from. I am a very satisfied customer.
I am more focused on something that would work well, forever. Bling and lightness are not so critical to me. However, the Arundel Mandible Carbon Cage delivers great quality, great aesthetics at a light weight. Bottles remain perfectly secure and they are easy to remove. The price is not low. However, after using it for about one month, I would buy it again if ever that were necessary. Although, I suspect this cage is going to outlast me!!!
Hold the bottle tightly. Great looking design! Got a white and a black to compliment my white and black Pinarello.
I have these on several bikes and they are top shelf.
I finally sprang for really nice cages on a fancy new bike. I've used cheap cages for years and had some nice Ti ones too (Blackburn) that finally broke after a decade. These are very spendy but it's really easy to get your bottles in and out and so far none of bounced loose on bumpy roads. I've used them a couple months. I'm hoping my bottles don't get as scuffed up too-I think this is the case.
This beats the Elite Pase carbon. A tough act to follow. Been through many high end cages.
If you are looking for a light bottle cage that is also secure on both road or mountain bikes this is a good choice. I've used these for hundreds of miles of road and MTB riding as well as XC racing. I've never lost a bottle and they show no signs of wear.
Reviewed a number of different carbon cages and purchased these (4) for both of my road bikes. I had the Zipp carbon cages on my SWORKS SL3 since I purchased it in 2010 but they did not hold the bottles very firmly nor were they positioned optimally on the seat tube of my 52CM frame. After a 500-600 miles of testing and riding I would strongly recommend the Mandible Carbon Cages.

Excellent grip on bottles but easy to remove when you need it. Also a slightly different look which is always nice.
Worth the price, securely holds water bottles, I've never had an issue with it.
