King Cage Ti Side Loader

Side-loading cages are essential for smaller bike frames or full-suspension mountain bikes where space inside the main triangle is limited. They allow you to slide your bottle in from the side rather than pulling it straight up, which prevents the bottle from hitting the top tube or rear shock.

Titanium is exceptionally durable and corrosion-resistant, meaning it won't rust or degrade over time like some aluminum or steel cages. It also provides a secure grip on your bottle while remaining lightweight, making it a reliable, long-term investment for your bike.

Yes, King Cage is known for its precise engineering. The titanium material has a natural springiness that grips standard water bottles firmly, keeping them in place even on bumpy gravel roads or technical trails.

You can, but keep in mind that the 'side' direction will change depending on where you mount it. If you mount it on the down tube, the bottle will load from the right; if you mount it on the seat tube, it will load from the left. It is worth checking your bike's clearance to ensure the side-access direction works for your specific frame.

Titanium is smoother than many aluminum cages, which often have sharp edges or painted coatings that can scuff bottles. While any cage will eventually show wear on a plastic bottle, the smooth, tubular design of the King Cage is generally much gentler on your gear.
