XLAB Aero Carbon Wing System Gen 2 w/Gorilla Cages

The XLAB Aero Carbon Wing System Gen 2 w/Gorilla Cages delivers elite-level aerodynamic hydration for triathletes and time-trial riders. Featuring a carbon fiber beam and high-grip Gorilla carbon cages, it mounts securely to saddle rails, positioning bottles out of airflow for reduced drag and maximum accessibility.

Lightweight yet robust, this rear hydration solution offers extensive adjustability—vertical, horizontal, and rotational—to tailor fit your riding position. Certified carbon construction ensures vibration damping, while compatibility across saddle rail types makes it universally adaptable.
