Cannondale GT-40 Cage

Side-loading cages are designed for bikes with smaller frames or rear suspension setups where vertical clearance is limited. They allow you to slide your bottle in from the side, making it much easier to access your water without hitting the frame or shock.

Yes, the Cannondale GT-40 uses a standard two-bolt mounting pattern that fits virtually all modern bicycle frames. As long as your bike has standard water bottle cage braze-ons, this will mount securely.

The cage is engineered with a wrap-around design specifically to provide secure retention. While it is not a dedicated downhill mountain bike cage, it is built to hold bottles firmly in place during typical road, gravel, and light trail riding.

No, the alloy construction is chosen specifically to balance durability with a lightweight profile. It provides a robust, long-lasting hold without adding unnecessary bulk to your setup.

This specific model is a left-side load, meaning the opening faces the left side of the bike. If you prefer to reach for your bottle with your right hand while riding, you would typically mount this on the seat tube or look for a right-side loading version.
