FAQ

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.

Best For

Best for the rider finishing a high-end road or gravel build who wants the cage to disappear into the frame rather than announce itself, and who counts grams where they are easy to count. It is also the sensible single-cage choice if you ride a Factor but not one of the three frames the Aero Cage Set is shaped for.
