Axis Ultimate Carbon CI Cage

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"The Profile Design Axis Ultimate Carbon CI is the cage I recommend when riders want carbon-level weight without full carbon pricing. The carbon injection construction holds up to repeated use, the retention keeps bottles in place even on rough roads and cobbled sections, and the long mounting slots give real flexibility in bottle positioning across different frame geometries and BTA setups."

Bottle cage selection on a performance build comes down to three things — weight, retention, and compatibility — and the Profile Design Axis Ultimate Carbon CI Cage resolves all three without asking for a premium price. Carbon injection technology produces a cage that achieves a 25-gram claimed weight while maintaining the structural integrity needed to hold bottles securely through rough roads, aggressive cornering, and the vibration that accumulates over long efforts.

The aerodynamic profile keeps the cage's contribution to frontal area low at down tube and seat tube positions, and front BTA system compatibility extends its usefulness to triathlon and time trial builds where cockpit hydration placement is a performance consideration. Long mounting slots give riders meaningful adjustability in bottle placement along the tube, accommodating different bottle lengths and frame geometries without requiring additional hardware. For riders who want a reliable, lightweight cage across multiple positions on the bike, the Axis Ultimate CI delivers at a price point that makes equipping every mount straightforward.
