I commute on it and don't drink while riding, but I wanted something that could hold a lot of different drink options from insulated coffee bottle, to water, to single use plastic bottles. The strong metal cage is perfect for durability. I really appreciated that it has numerous mounting holes spaced down the spine. I was able to use a hidden tracker holder behind the bottle cage to extend it from my mounting location on an inset cargo wall panel and then offset as high as possible over a protruding frame member. I don't love the straps, they are way too long and have to be carefully wrapped up when nothing is being carried. I plan to replace them with a Voile-style strap that's shorter in the near future. However, the straps do work and did a nice job of holding a fast-food plastic cup. I didn't even think about it while riding and several miles later, including an off-road shortcut, the cup hadn't spilled a drop. Review: Best cage on the market for oversized water bottles! - This holds my 87 ounce insulated water bottle flawlessly. I love it. My giant water bottle is lowkey my adult security blanket, and it’s awkward to carry it in my backpack. So I’ve been trying to find a cage for it that would securely anchor an 87 ounce insulated water bottle to my bicycle frame as long as I’ve had it. I’m not gonna lie: This thing is overpriced at almost $40 for what is essentially just a piece of aluminum and some quality straps, but it absolutely WILL securely hold up to an 87 ounce water bottle when it’s full (thats about 11 extra pounds by the way) with no problems and honestly the straps would accommodate something even wider, but I’m not sure how much additional width you could fit between your knees before it would become problematic. And anything taller than my 87 ouncer wouldnt fit. But the cage is super adjustable, it fits my gigantic water bottle perfectly, it’d hold any size of Nalgene bottle or any other kind of water bottle effortlessly. Also, it’s literally a two hex key bolt installation that takes about 2 minutes, and the design is totally solid for extra large water bottles. ## Features - CARRY BULKY ITEMS - Three sets of mounting holes to fit different size frames - INCLUDES STRAPS - Securely strap down odd size bottles and other gear, such as bags and clothing - Securely strap down odd size bottles and other gear, such as bags and clothing - Three sets of mounting holes to fit different size frames ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00NT4KXBA | | Best Sellers Rank | #79,465 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) #127 in Bike Water Bottle Cages | | Brand Name | Blackburn | | Color | Black (Updated) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (1,850) | | Included Components | Bottle Cage | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 22"L x 4"W x 20"H | | Item Type Name | Blackburn Outpost Cargo Water Bottle Cage (Black, One Size) | | Item Weight | 4 Ounces | | Manufacturer | Blackburn | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | Subject to a limited lifetime warranty for the lifetime of the original purchaser. | | Material Type | Metal | | UPC | 196178238489 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Blackburn - **Color:** Black (Updated) - **Manufacturer:** Blackburn - **Material:** Metal - **Product Dimensions:** 22"L x 4"W x 20"H ## Images ![Blackburn Outpost Cargo Cage - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/7166buOTTNL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: would this cage be ok for holding a battery on a Ebike conversion..?** A: I holds a 1.5L Nalgene water bottle, which is about 3.3lbs. Four pounds would probably be okay, but most eBike batteries weigh considerably more. **Q: what is the spacing of the holes for attaching to the bike? my bike has holes 5.5 inches apart, which is larger than the standard hole sizing.** A: Max spacing of existing drilled holes is 3.75 inches. However - overall length of drilled surface is 6.75 inches. So there is room enough to drill another hole in the bracket or consider adding a Wolf Tooth B-RAD 3 or 4. **Q: would this fit two msr 30oz fuel bottles?** A: I'm reluctant to say NO outright, because where there's a will, there's a way. However the bottles you mention are about 3-inch diameter each, while the cage is about 4-inches across. Thus the cage will not cradle 2 bottles of that diameter side-by-side snugly. I would not buy it for that purpose. The cage does work well for single larger diameter flasks and bottles that will nest between the side rails. **Q: Is it a blayblad are a cup holder** A: It has seven platypus cupholders. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice cage, straps ehh... *by N***D on December 4, 2025* I spent a lot of time looking for the right water bottle cage for my front loader cargo bike (Riese & Muller Load4 75).

While they're not as light as some other cages out there, they're sturdier which for me means more than saving a little weight. The cages are metal. I have other cargo cages that are a composite material but wouldn't last with some of the rougher conditions I've used these in. Yes, there are only two sets of three mounting holes. You can still mount them to a fork though that has bosses. I like the fact that they can be adjusted by choosing any one of the different mounting holes to keep them clear of chainrings, etc.. They can carry large Nalgene bottles, Klean Kanteens, cargo bags and even a crowler can of your favorite local beer (see picture). I'm purchasing two more cages to mount permanently to the gravel rig so I don't have to swap back and forth anymore. Blackburn did a good job with these although they could do with a third set of mounting holes. I read a lot of people drill a third hole for fork mounting which could save people the time and effort. ## Frequently Bought Together - Blackburn Outpost Cargo Water Bottle Cage - Blackburn Outpost Elite Cargo Bag Rolltop 6.5l 420D Nylon - Moosetreks Bike Stem Bag | Bikepacking Food Snack Water Bottle Storage | Bicycle Touring Commuting Insulated Pouch --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/13984431-blackburn-outpost-cargo-cage](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/13984431-blackburn-outpost-cargo-cage) --- *Product available on Desertcart Great Britain* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-04-26*
