PDW Rattlesnek Kej Water Bottle Cage

Side-entry cages are essential for smaller bike frames, full-suspension mountain bikes, or frames with tight geometry where a vertical bottle pull is obstructed by the shock or top tube. They allow you to slide the bottle in from the side, making hydration accessible even when space is limited.

Yes, the orientation determines which side you pull the bottle from. If you plan to mount the cage on your downtube, a right-hand cage is typically best for right-handed riders. If you are mounting it on your seat tube, you may prefer the opposite side to keep your dominant hand free.

The Rattlesnek Kej is crafted from 5052 alloy, which offers a great balance of durability and weight savings. While it is lightweight, the metal construction is robust enough to handle the vibrations and impacts common in gravel and light trail riding.

Yes, the cage includes the necessary stainless steel hardware to mount it directly to any standard bicycle frame with existing bottle cage bosses.

The sinuous design is engineered to grip the bottle firmly. While it is designed for easy retrieval, the alloy material provides enough tension to keep standard water bottles secure during typical road and gravel riding.
