Nitto Stainless Bottle Cage Type R

Yes, the Type R is designed to fit standard cycling water bottles snugly. Its thin-pipe stainless steel construction provides enough tension to keep bottles secure over rough roads without making them difficult to remove.

No, the high-quality stainless steel used by Nitto is highly resistant to corrosion. It is an excellent choice for all-weather riding and will maintain its finish far longer than aluminum or painted steel alternatives.

No, it uses standard frame bosses. You can install it using the same M5 bolts found on almost every modern bicycle frame.

While it is slightly heavier than ultra-light carbon fiber cages, the thin-pipe design keeps the weight impressively low for a metal cage. You are trading a few grams for significantly higher durability and a classic aesthetic that won't fatigue over time.

Like any metal cage, there is a possibility of minor scuffing on plastic bottles over time due to friction. However, the smooth, handcrafted finish of the Nitto Type R is generally gentler on bottles than stamped aluminum cages with sharper edges.
