Rear carriers should not interfere with the air on the rider’s back, but instead fill in the turbulence ‘hole’ behind the riders posterior, thereby reducing the rider’s drag  (which accounts for 64% of energy used on a racing bicycle). XLab positioned the carrier in the Wind Tunnel to 'draft' behind the rider causing no extra drag.

One of the key features invented by Xlab is the multiple mounting holes for the saddle rail clamps. One position sets the bottle cages close to vertical and others incline the cages for rider preference. Because of it's past success, Xlab has kept the same feature in the Xlab Super Wing for customizing the installation.  In addition, there are 4 sets of holes for the lower cage bolts which with the front holes provides a total of 12 different cage angle positions.

The Gorilla helps prevent bottles ejecting from cages on bumpy roads, mountain bikes and saddle-mounted water bottle carriers. The cage has over 2X the gripping force of conventional carbon cages due to the 6 high shouldered carbon gripping fingers, tall retention tab at the top and thicker carbon. The Gorilla cage will fit on any standard cage mounts.  Weighs 38g.

Quite often Triathlon framesets have smaller frame triangles and shorter head tubes in an effort to make the frames more aerodynamic. This results in having to pull the water bottle somewhat sideways in order to get it out of the bottle cage. Most current cages on the market make bottle extraction difficult.  The engineers at XLAB have a cage that grips very well over bumpy surfaces but also has a special cut off angle of 30 degrees which testing has proved is the optimum angle in Tri framesets. It is super quick to get the bottle out of the cage.
The cage features stiff bottom lip to support large bottles, stiff upper tab to retain bottles in the cage and slots in the back to provide vertical adjustment on the frame.  Made with the same high temperature and pressure process as the successful Gorilla rear cage and in extra stiff carbon.  The 6 arm design and graphics match the Gorilla so you can now have a consistent bottle cage design on your racing machine but with cages designed for each specific purpose. Use Gorilla Cage for rear hydration carriers.

Inspired by dozens of triathletes who have been injured while training, Xlab’s chief guru set a goal to introduce a Daylight Training Strobe with 5 bright LEDs, a 270 degree visibility, weighing under 35 grams. Another Xlab World’s first. ‘Don’t be seen without it.

As if XLAB’s rear carriers were not light enough, XLAB's crazy engineers have come up with Titanium lightening kits for their SONIC WINGS.  XLAB uses only top quality 6AL-4V Grade 5 titanium and includes a sachet of Ti-Prep lube.  The kits replace the steel screws in the standard product.
Grade 5 titanium has a Tensile Strength of 130Ksi, which far exceeds the design requirements. Which is why aircraft designers select them. The SONIC WING KIT replaces the four 5mm and two 6mm steel screws for a great weight saving of 13g. Why carry excess weight when you don’t have to?
