XLAB Aero Carbon Wing Gen 2 System - Gorilla Cages - carbon matte

The Ultimate in Rear Hydration Systems

Positions your bottles and storage bag in a prime aerodynamic position behind the athlete, where air pressure and overall drag decreases.

Features

• TWICE AS FAST
  Extensive aero research offers nearly twice the time savings over previous generations.
• INCREASED ADJUSTABILITY
  From the carrier to the cage, all optimizing speed and bottle access.
• INCREASED BOTTLE RETENTION
  Cages re-positioned for optimum retention and easier access.
• CARBON BEAM
  Special proprietary layup helps reduce cage vibration.
• WIDER COMPATIBILITY
  Fits the widest range of saddle rails by mounting on the saddle's horizontal rail.
• ROAD AND BOTTLE USAGE
  Approved for pavement roads with 769 mL (26 oz) bottles or smaller.

Aerodynamic Advantage

Optimized through Aerodynamic Simulation
Improved aerodynamics optimized through real world testing and over 260 Computerized Fluid Dynamic (CFD) aero simulations. The result is a system that effectively creates no additional drag while allowing airflow to quickly become streamlined and increase speed.
Fastest Yet 
Nearly twice the time savings over the previous generation CARBON WING. Placing your bottles behind the saddle provides significant time savings versus mounting them on your frame. Using the AERO CARBON WING can save over 7 ¾ minutes over the course of a full distance triathlon, our quickest design by far!

Time Saving Over 180 Km (112 mi):
24 km/h (15 mph) – up to 7:45 min
32 Km/h (20 mph) – up to 5:43 min

Adjustable and Compatible

Saddle Rail Adjustment 
Whether you ride with your saddle nose up or down, we have you covered. Rail Bracket provides 18 degrees of adjustment allowing the Aero Carbon Wing to remain in the most aerodynamic position, parallel to the ground.
Cage Arm Adjustment 
25.4 mm (1") vertical and 12.7 mm (0.5") horizontal placement options allow you to dial in the perfect ergonomic position making bottle access easier and reduce drag further.
Cage Rotation Adjustment 
Provides a full 55 degrees of cage rotation.
Extensive Saddle Compatibility 
Fits over 50 of the most popular saddles. Mounting brackets fit standard 7 mm diameter steel and titanium saddle rails. Approved for use with bottles 769 mL (26 oz) and less.

Thoughtfully Designed

Hidden Repair Storage 
Tucked into the underside of the beam is room for a complete repair kit without increasing drag. The perfect fit for the new  AERO MINI BAG.
Quick Disassembly 
Mounting bracket easily detaches from saddle rails for convenient travel packing or transfer to another bike. Simply remove 2 top bolts and loosen 2 lower and the system rotates free.
Advanced Ultra-light Construction 
Engineered with an Ultra-Light Carbon Monocoque beam, 7075 T-6 aluminum alloy Cage Arms and Rail Brackets, for increased lateral stiffness, torsional resistance, and overall durability while keeping weight down.
