Overview
A Bottle That Stays Put in the Black Inc Water Bottle Cage
Black Inc built the Water Bottle Cage around one job, keeping a bottle in place when the road stops being smooth. The arms come from full carbon fiber monocoque construction, so the grip is in the layup rather than in a spring or a clamp, and the cage holds firmly without fighting you when you reach for the bottle. Listed weight is 28 grams. The finish is unidirectional carbon under a gloss and matte clear coat, which is why it reads as part of the frame rather than as an accessory bolted onto it.
It takes a standard two-bolt bottle mount and ships with laser etched alloy bolts, so nothing on the bike has to change to run it. Black Inc is Factor's in-house wheel and component brand, and it runs its own CFD, FEA, and prototyping rather than badging someone else's parts. If you ride a Factor Ostro VAM, Ostro Gravel, or Monza and want the frame-matched aero option instead, the Black Inc Aero Cage Set is that one, and we stock it at the Lab. This cage fits any frame with standard cage bosses.

Good questions
Get to know Black Inc
There's more to Black Inc than this one product. Our Black Inc page has the full Black Inc lineup we carry and more about the brand.
Visit the Black Inc page →How much does the Black Inc Water Bottle Cage weigh?
The Black Inc Water Bottle Cage is listed at 28 grams. That comes from its full carbon fiber monocoque construction, which puts the retention strength into the carbon layup rather than into added hardware.
Does the Black Inc Water Bottle Cage come with bolts?
Yes, the Black Inc Water Bottle Cage ships with laser etched alloy bolts. It mounts to standard two-bolt bottle cage bosses, so no adapter or frame-specific hardware is needed.
What is the difference between the Black Inc Water Bottle Cage and the Aero Cage Set?
The Black Inc Water Bottle Cage is a single carbon cage that fits any frame with standard bosses. The Aero Cage Set is a two-cage set shaped specifically for the Factor Ostro VAM, Ostro Gravel, and Monza, and it is frame-specific rather than universal.
Will the Black Inc Water Bottle Cage hold a bottle on rough roads?
Black Inc designed the Water Bottle Cage to grip securely on the roughest terrain, which is the stated purpose of the arm shape and the carbon layup. It is tuned to release easily when you pull the bottle, which is the other half of the job.
