Elite's latest addition to the range is the Cannibal XC cage, crafted using bio-plastics derived from castor beans.

• Objective is to develop a production model for cages that prioritizes sustainability by utilizing renewable sources. The Cannibal XC cage, derived from bio-based materials, predominantly utilizes a sustainable polymer sourced from castor beans instead of relying on industrial fossil fuels. This innovative approach reduces dependence on fossil resources while maintaining the same level of impact resistance.
• This cage is reinforced with fiberglass construction for durability and wraps completely around the bottle for security with an elastomer section to allow the cage to automatically adjust for different bottle shapes.

A more sustainable production model

• Business need to acknowledge their responsibilities when it comes to global pollution, and Elite wants to act accordingly. We have decided early on to do everything in power to reduce ecological and carbon footprint. We are excited to start new strategies to provide customers with more ecological friendly products and raw materials of excellent quality for resistance and durability.
• Elite’s Cannibal XC is made from more than 40 % of bio-based plastics that are sourced from renewable sources, particularly castor beans. We decided to make use of bioplastics and biomass feedstocks for production as a more circular solution to conventional plastics made from petrol.

Allows insertion at a wide variety of angles

• With compact road geometry, suspension hardware or bikepacking kit all competing for space on modern bikes, the Cannibal XC is ideal for making the most of your loadout with its huge entry point that allows the insertion of bottles at a wide variety of angles. This is a smart way to minimise the space required for carrying a bottle even during the most intense riding efforts.
• The bottle cage’s structure wraps completely around the bottle for security with an elastomer section to allow the cage to automatically adjust for different bottle shapes.
