Most high-end cycling aficionados know Black Inc as a component and accessory supplier for Factor Bikes, but this small company is known for creating components made from the exact ideal material for the application. Their statement is that "Black Inc is all about control", as in control that dictates material selection, manufacturing, and finish. To make premium components that is the only dictum that matters to Black Inc. For most cyclists, control is the primary feature of a water bottle cage, as in, it better hold the bottle on rough roads, yet still be easy to retrieve, and be wholly reliable. Of course it must then also look awesome, cool, and slick, while weight next to nothing.

Enter the UD Black Inc Carbon Water Bottle Cage. The clean, sculpted form is distinct, without being odd, and offers the entry/exit angle for easy retrieval and storage. The UD fiber is well known for it's stiffness and resilience, while being lightweight. A simple Black Inc log finishes off the cage, and you get two black laser-etched alloy bolts to mount it securely. The cage weighs just 23 grams, with the pair of bolts? Just 3 more grams. While there are plenty of super light carbon bottle cages on the market, none on this weight range can meet the stiffness and hold of this Black Inc Carbon Water Bottle Cage.
