The S-Works Carbon Rib Cage III uses a split design to strike the perfect balance between bottle hold and ease of entry/exit. It also happens to look drop-dead sexy.
I have 2 of these now: one on road bike, the other on my Epic Evo. Stable and grip the bottle well, but still easy to access. Works well, looks amazing
Had these for over 5 months, and they’re just as great as the day I bought them. These cages can handle anything, even Midwest roads in the winter. Had a hard crash, and to my surprise the bottles didn’t budge. Being some of the lightest cages definitely help keep the overall weight down too. Only issue is the price, but if that isn’t a worry, then definitely splurge on these!
I have two of these mounted, one vertical (seat tube) and the other diagonal (down tube) and both are easily accessible. I’ve ran them through some of the worst terrain you can imagine, and the bottles stayed secured. Only downside is they’re a bit pricey, but I bought these with the intent of lifetime use. Considering I’ve lost countless bottles with other bottle cages, they pay for themselves after the 3rd or 4th bottle being replaced. Additionally, they look incredibly sexy next to the flat black/grey paint on my bike.
Have had these on my aethos pro for awhile. They look good but the bottle will eject if you hit a hard bump. Lost a bottle in a pace line a few weeks back, could have been really bad. Replacing these with more sturdy cages to avoid accidents in the future

Looks so nice. And light weight. But this cage will damage the water bottle. Like scratch all over. Overall I like it

Nothing to complain about but the high price. Fortunately these were on sale so couldn't resist!

I recently purchased the SL7 Tarmac Expert. It come from the shop with a standard Specialized cage and I needed the second cage for those longer rides. I bought the S-Works carbon rib cage and fitted it. It look that good, I bought a second cage to replace the standard one supplied from the shop. Two is better than one!
