RestrapHow bottles & bottle holders also fit into small frames

Who hasn't experienced it: The bottle just fits into the frame, but pulling it out while riding? That's tricky!

Bikepacking specialist Restrap has introduced new bikepacking accessories. A bottle holder for removing bottles from the side - no longer a problem with the frame bag or kinematics - and matching water bottles.

The problem of water bottles not being compatible with frame bags is a well-known one. The smaller the frame, the less space in the frame triangle. However, this also applies to mountain bikes, whose angled frames offer hardly any space next to the shock. The solution: the Restrap bottle cage, where the water bottle can be removed from the side. How nice for the eye when there are also matching water bottles in the typical Restrap design.

Restrap bottle cage

The bottle cage for removing the water bottle from the side is a new addition to the Restrap range. It is particularly practical for bikes with a compact frame or for use with frame bags that can restrict the space available for bottles. The foldable base, which can be found at the top and bottom of the holder, is practical because it allows the opening to be positioned on the left or right. A grip strip is included as frame protection, with a 25 mm adjustment option for a perfect fit. The cage also has a rubber loop to secure the bottle, especially in rough terrain or on the trails. In addition to the down tube or seat tube, the bottle cage can also be mounted in various places on the bike if there are threads in the frame - for example on the fork.
