Who’d have thought a brand could re-invent the function of a water bottle? Seriously? Well it’s time to start believing. English brand Fabric have created the revolutionary ‘cageless’ water bottle and not only is it a cool idea, it’s also a legit weight saver. Mounting directly to your frame without a cage, the bottle is simple, easy to use and lightweight. The bottle simply slots on to lightweight mounts that are secured to standard water bottle bosses. The bottle is held securely to the mounts, yet removed easily when needed. Each bottle is supplied with 4 studs and bolts (2 needed for a single bottle) that sit where your cage would normally sit and weighing only 1.5g each, you can hardly see them and you definitely can’t feel that they are there. What will Fabric re-invent next? The wheel perhaps…
