While many cyclists love the super light weight and cool effect of carbon bottle cages, replacing them if damaged is done with a grimace due to cost. The fair price, durability, and reasonable weight of reinforced nylon is a much better choice for most cyclists especially commuters, mountain bikers, gravel and recreational road types. The Ritchey Comp Bottle Cage is pretty much ideal for most folks. The open wrap design of the curved arms secure bottles well, but allow for clean and manageable access for bottle entry and withdrawal. The mounting zones are recessed and reinforced to keep the cage secure and bolts off your bottle. The simple, clean look goes with any frame design or finish.
