Elite Pria Pave Water Bottle Cage in Soft Black

Jettisoned bidons bouncing merrily down steep cobblestoned climbs are a hallmark of the spring classics that may add to the spectacular atmosphere for fans but present a serious danger for competitors.

Elite's Pria Pave Water Bottle Cage corrals the free-range bottles of spring with a dialed enclosure similar to the knob at the rear of your helmet's fit cage.

Like your helmet, the idea is simple: an adjustable fit better tailors the case-in this case, the bottle cage-to the thing it's supposed to be enclosing.

A snugger fit is a more secure fit, and more security means less chance of an untimely ejection whether you're barreling over pave, cattle guards, or train tracks.

Losing a bottle in these situations is bad news because it leaves you bereft of a beverage but also presents a moving obstacle for everyone in the pack behind you-the cycling equivalent of a red tortoiseshell.
