Bottle cage from Specialized in the TOUR test
The Zee Cage II from Specialized combines a bottle cage and mini tool set.

At the lower end, a drawer accommodates a 60 gram mini tool (hexagon socket 3, 4, 5, 6, 8 mm, T25 Torx, slotted screwdriver). The carbon bottle holder holds bidons from the side, there are versions for insertion from the left or right, and the cage also reliably holds large drinking bottles. The mini-tool is practical for simple adjustment work, but it is difficult to handle the tiny tool when screws are stuck.

PLUS Holds large bottles; practical for small frame sizes
MINUS Low leverage with the minitool

Price 55 Euro
Weight 110 grammes
