Blackburn Clutch Carbon Side-Entry Cage

Side-entry cages are essential for smaller bike frames or full-suspension mountain bikes where space in the main triangle is limited. They allow you to slide the bottle in from the side, preventing the bottle from hitting the top tube or rear shock.

Yes, the Blackburn Clutch is designed with a secure retention system that holds bottles firmly in place. While it prioritizes easy access, the carbon construction provides enough tension to keep your bottle from ejecting on bumpy terrain.

It is designed to fit standard cycling water bottles. However, if you use oversized or non-standard insulated bottles, you may find the fit to be tighter or incompatible.

Installation is straightforward and only requires a standard Allen wrench. The necessary mounting hardware is included in the box, so you can attach it to your frame's existing bottle cage mounts immediately.

This specific model is designed for a specific side entry. Be sure to check your frame's bottle cage mount orientation to ensure you purchase the correct version for your preferred access side.
