Zipp Alumina Bottle Cage Road/MTB/CX In Black

Product Description

Zipp Alumina Bottle Cage In Black

Zipp is an American company that is best known for designing, manufacturing, and marketing carbon-composite bicycle wheels for road cycling, triathlons, track racing, and mountain biking.

The company's product range also includes handlebars, stems, seat posts, tires, inner tubes, handlebar tape, and bags.

In 1988, the company was founded by motorsports engineer Leigh Sargent and released its first carbon fiber disc wheel. 

Zipp was acquired by bicycle component manufacturer Sram in November 2007. In October 2010, Zipp relocated from its original design and manufacturing facility in Speedway, Indiana to an expanded site in Indianapolis.

The company was first to market with dimpled discs and rims (they also own the patent), to induce boundary layer turbulence and prevent detached airflow in crosswinds.

Zipp has done pioneering research in aerodynamics, using various high tech wind tunnels, and has published advanced papers in this area.

The company was also the first to produce disc wheels, deep section rims, and cranksets using carbon fiber technology.

Zipp Alumina Bottle Cage In Black

Optimized for both side and direct bottle entry the Alumina cage provides easy access to hydration, especially on smaller frames and those with tight angles. 

Thin-but-strong arms flex for easy bottle insertion and removal, at any angle. Worry free hydration when speed matters.

The new Alumina aluminum cage shares the same innovative sleek design as the carbon SLSpeed cage and challenges any titanium cage costing twice as much.

Alumina cages are both designed for seat tube or down tube mounting on road, cyclocross and mtb frames.
