If they add ano colors they can ride on two coat tails

I wish them well , they look nice but will most likely cost 2 bundles of cash. Besides I like nitto cages more.

Odd, I use Iris and Podium bottles without an issue. But I'm strong and all get-out so I have no problem with the light fit.

Another vote for the Iris.

I use the Iris on my dirt bike and standard Kings on my road bike. As others have said, the Iris grips the bottle tighter. I'll also add that it requires a more straight up/down motion to remove/reinsert the bottle as compared to the standard cage design. I don't know about the Camelbak Podium comment, but I can say that they work fine w/ Purist bottles.

It's an issue I brought up with Ron at NAHBS one year and he admitted the Iris cage, with newer CamelBak battles, wraps around the top lip of the bottle body in such a way that you just can't get the bottle out all that easily. The solution was easy, just go with the King standard cage instead.

this must be a camelbak specific issue. I prefer the iris cages to the ti cages. They are thinner, look sleek and hold all my bottles in without ever popping out. I've used many random brands of bottles and they have been great with all of them. Thanks for telling us about camelbak.

Duh, I have camelbak podium and big chill bottles and I have not found any issues with removing them.

This whole thread is just about hundred-dollar-plus bottle cages?
