This is excellent! I paid less than $8 including shipping; what a deal! It's very solid once mounted tightly and the front of the cage is of course a little bendable so you can get a nice tight fit on a range of different sized bottles. The only thing I suggest is making sure you have room on your handlebars; I just barely got it squeezed in between all the cables on my mountain bike. You need to make sure you have about an inch of straight, handle bar thickness tube to clamp it to, and enough clearance with the cables. I suggest just taking a water bottle and eye-balling to see if you have the space. If your handlebar is just a straight, horizontal bar then you're probably fine. But if you have a different handlebar (like I do) then you should check before buying. Probably 90% of bikes out there will be OK!

Highly recommend!

It secures the bottle perfectly within easy grasp on your bikes handlebar. Great for long trips when you need two water bottles. Also with the new womens bikes the normal cage gets in the way getting on and off the bike. Had seen one years ago and could never find it in a store. I know everyone who see's it is going to want one.

I've wanted one of these for years. I've ridden on 3, 1,000 mile bike trips and kept kicking myself each time for not having one of these. I bought two and put one on each bike. So much easier to access as well as to have an extra water bottle available for the long hauls. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that I thought it had typical water bottle mounting screws on the part that attaches to the handle bars which would have meant that if something happened to the cage I could simply replace it with another cage which would have been REALLY nice. But it's a solid weld, so if the cage breaks the whole thing is trash. But for the price it's still a reasonable purchase.

This is a handlebar mounting bottle cage and worked great for my son's bike which does not have the regular bottle cage bolts and also has large diameter frame tubes all over. So, standard bottle cages just don't work but this one mounts on the handle bar and it's black color matches the handlebar as well.

Purchased two of these for use on my kids bikes as their frames have no boss mounts for frame mounted cages as found on adult bikes. Fits my son's bike securely, however it does not fit my daughter's bike as her handlebars don't have a large enough diameter. Thus the cage slowly spins around once weighted with a full bottle which means the bottle constantly falls out. I've tried to sandwich in the extra foam they provide but even that doesn't snug it enough on her bike, thus the cage is basically useless.

Note these cages are pretty large/long and could pose a hazard if you smash against your handlebars as the long back part of the cage will be pointing right at you, assuming you mount it to the handlebar as designed. Thankfully it's rounded, not pointed or squared.

My daughter's bike has no other place for a water bottle holder, so this works just fine to put one on the handlebars: problem solved.

New problem #1: it does not grip the handlebar totally steadily. It shifts (rotates) a bit as the bottle is pulled-from and shoved-into the holder. I'll have to try putting some handlebar tape under it and see if that helps.

New Problem #2: it breaks. We've gone through two of these in two years, as they have both broken at the weld in the middle. Then again, the item is so inexpensive that I find it silly to complain much about that. I just think of it as a consumeable product that needs replacing annualy (when it breaks).

The Sunlite Handlebar Mount Bottle Cage is a great product reasonably priced. It arrived quickly and was packed well.

I already had two bottle cages on my frame however I would often forget about drinking until I was thirsty. Not a good thing on long rides. With this cage mounted on the handlebar, my water bottle is out front where I can see it easily and I am now in the habit of drinking regularly.

The mounting process was easy and even with the mass of cables and cycling computer, I still had plenty of room for this cage.

I highly recommend the Sunlite Handlebar Mount Bottle Cage.

Our kids bikes didn't come with water bottle holders. The space where one ususally goes was not big enough for a more then and 8oz water bottle. This very well made holder for the bikes was great. Very easy to attach and really handy any size bottle can come for the ride too.

My daughter's bike did not have any place for a bottle cage so I looked on-line and found this one. It was inexpensive and the quality was better than I expected. It very easy to install and holds a regular sized bottle just fine.

This is absolutely the best (and only) black handlebar mounted water bottle cage that I have ever bought. It works flawlessly and has never stopped working. I think it works so well because it is painted black. Every time I ride my bike, it is dependably hanging from the handle bars just like I left it. I don't know how I survived the long (2.5 mile) commutes to work without it -- I am surprised I haven't died of dehydration before -- absolutely worth the 7 bucks or whatever it cost to save my life! I am not sure if it works so well because it is painted black or not, but it sure holds a water bottle, down streets, up driveways, etc -- it hasn't failed to hold a water bottle yet!
