Elite's latest addition to the range is the Cannibal XC cage, crafted using bio-plastics derived from castor beans.

Their objective is to develop a production model for their cages that prioritizes sustainability by utilizing renewable sources. The Cannibal XC cage, derived from bio-based materials, predominantly utilizes a sustainable polymer sourced from castor beans instead of relying on industrial fossil fuels. This innovative approach reduces their dependence on fossil resources while maintaining the same level of impact resistance.

This cage is reinforced with fiberglass construction for durability and wraps completely around the bottle for security with an elastomer section to allow the cage to automatically adjust for different bottle shapes.

With compact road geometry, suspension hardware or bikepacking kit all competing for space on modern bikes, the Cannibal XC Bio-Based is ideal for making the most of your loadout with its huge entry point that allows the insertion of bottles at a wide variety of angles. This is a smart way to minimise the space required for carrying a bottle even during the most intense riding efforts. 

The bottle cage’s structure wraps completely around the bottle for security with an elastomer section to allow the cage to automatically adjust for different bottle shapes.

The cage’s design features a front structure made to fully embrace the bottle and improve bottle retention even in challenging conditions, such as high-speed descents, rough terrains or off-road paths. 

The bottlecage’s front elastomer section self-adjusts to bottle diameter and makes it perfect for bottles of different sizes.

Cannibal XC Bio-Based is compatible with all frames and is particularly suited for bikes with sloping frames and smaller triangle geometry.
