In order to capture the title of Ultimate Bottle Cage, the aspiring vessel holder would have to meet several criteria. First, easy insertion. Second, fail-proof retention. Third, easy release. Fourth, great aesthetics. Fifth, light weight. Surpassing all but the last requirements, and it could never be called heavy, is the Elite Cannibal Bottle Cage, with the added bonus of accepting bottles from any angle: right side, left side, or straight on. Elite's famous penchant for style is evident in the Cannibal, whose shape exhibits smooth lines culminating in well-placed apexes. Security duties are handled by the unique shape of the Cannibal along with an elastomer band which stretches for a snug fit on cycling bottles.
