The Blackburn Camber CF has a flared mouth to improve ease of bottle insertion. Unique reinforcing side ribs increase stiffness to boost strength and bottle grip. The lower cradle/bottle stop area is designed to provide more support for critical strength in an area where other carbon cages fail. And the whole thing is optimized for an ideal balance between quick bottle access and optimal bottle grip.
Of course it's lightweight—a mere 32 grams to be exact—but more importantly, it''s strong. Strong enough that it''s backed by Blackburn''s Lifetime Warranty.
This is Blackburn''s earlier version of the Camber cage made with woven carbon fiber. The UD, unidirectional, newer Camber cages can been seen here. Once these woven cages are gone, they''re gone.

I have two of these on my cannondale caad 10 and they look sweet. they hold onto my bottles really well regardless of the roads that I'm on. I would def. recommend this cage to a friend...and when treefortbikes has a pricematch/will find you the best deal and then price match, why would you buy from anyone else?

Many of the roads I ride are pretty rough and that has broken the bottom tab on other bottle cages that were mounted on the seat tube. The blackburn cage has a stronger tab.
Summed up: You'll never be the guy getting T boned due to you be stopped and picking up you water bottle.
Yes, I would recomend this to a friend.

These cages look great on white bike frames (I put them on my wife's 2012 Cervelo R3). They are super lightweight and durable. you can't beat the price (trust me I tried).
I looked specifically for this cage because I had read numerous positive reviews. After seeing it in person, and more importantly how they looked on my bike, I am very happy I bought them. Blackburn was one of the few companies that offered a matte carbon finish.
Just as important is how well they perform, and I wasn't disappointed. Easy bottle entry, yet a good firm hold with no rattling.
