S-Works Carbon Rib Cage III

I have used on Epic Evo for several hundred miles and hasn't missed a beat. Bottles are easy in and easy out. Looking to add to my road bike next.

These are excellent bottle cages. I’ve been using 3 of them on a road tandem with no issues. We have a fourth bottle cage mounted horizontally on the copilot’s top tube. For that we use the Rib Cage II for extra security. The original Carbon Rib Cage was good, but held the bottles a bit too tightly which could make bottle removal difficult. This redesigned cage is the perfect balance of bottle grip and ease of insertion/removal.

I´ve been riding with these cages for two months and have to say I´m very disappointed on how easy is for the bottles to go flying out of the cages while bunny hopping, avoiding road furniture or even on rough roads. Didn´t thought this could happen with a top tier brand. Now, I bought other cages, and everything is back to where it should be: trouble free riding.

They don’t hold the bottles tightly. Over the last 18 months they I have owned these, my bottles fly out almost every other ride when I hit a pothole I didn’t see. It’s a shame because I love the design.

They’re especially easy to get the bottles in and out without looking down while riding, but I’ve had bottles fly out several times now going over train tracks or bunnyhopping over potholes. I’ll be replacing mine.

Nice looking and high end carbon but they don’t hold your downtube bottle when going over bumpy terrain. For this kind of coin I recommend avoiding these nice looking but ineffective cages.

I have 2 of these now: one on road bike, the other on my Epic Evo. Stable and grip the bottle well, but still easy to access. Works well, looks amazing

Had these for over 5 months, and they’re just as great as the day I bought them. These cages can handle anything, even Midwest roads in the winter. Had a hard crash, and to my surprise the bottles didn’t budge. Being some of the lightest cages definitely help keep the overall weight down too. Only issue is the price, but if that isn’t a worry, then definitely splurge on these!

I have two of these mounted, one vertical (seat tube) and the other diagonal (down tube) and both are easily accessible. I’ve ran them through some of the worst terrain you can imagine, and the bottles stayed secured. Only downside is they’re a bit pricey, but I bought these with the intent of lifetime use. Considering I’ve lost countless bottles with other bottle cages, they pay for themselves after the 3rd or 4th bottle being replaced. Additionally, they look incredibly sexy next to the flat black/grey paint on my bike.

Have had these on my aethos pro for awhile. They look good but the bottle will eject if you hit a hard bump. Lost a bottle in a pace line a few weeks back, could have been really bad. Replacing these with more sturdy cages to avoid accidents in the future

Looks so nice. And light weight. But this cage will damage the water bottle. Like scratch all over. Overall I like it

Nothing to complain about but the high price. Fortunately these were on sale so couldn't resist!

Great quality

I recently purchased the SL7 Tarmac Expert. It come from the shop with a standard Specialized cage and I needed the second cage for those longer rides. I bought the S-Works carbon rib cage and fitted it. It look that good, I bought a second cage to replace the standard one supplied from the shop. Two is better than one!

Maybe overpriced but I like the design

nice bottle cage

Easy to install, very strong and light weight material.

Great fit and quality

Well, you get what you pay for. It’s simply beautiful and perfect. I got it on sale, so that’ convince me to finally order it. No store had it in white. In reality it should cost no more than 39.95.

I love these bottle cages. They hold onto my bottles firmly, but it’s also not a struggle to remove/insert them. I got them on sale so they were also a great deal.

Great cage, but I think it is priced high.

Super light and durable

Great product. Holds bottle securely while minimizing on-bike weight. A little pricey, but if you've got the investment in the bike you're putting this on, it's minimal.

Light works well and good looking

Looks great and works well

Works great. Compliments the looks of my diverge well. Holds bottles well. Not worried about losing bottles at all even over rough terrain.

Amazingly light weight but holds a bottle firmly...oh and did I mention incredibly light?

Great product and service

These cages are excellent. Have two of them on my 2021 SL7. I don't have any weird bottle. Just a normal, very popular bottle and the cages hold the bottle tight. No rattling at all. The cages look sleek and modern as well.

I bought the previous years cages and they are outstanding!! It's Fact12 Carbon, they don't stretch lol! I've had them a year now and wish I could get two more of the same style cause I just got the cage mount for my saddle to carry 4 bottles on my long rides with no water stations. I would absolutely recommend this cage!!
