Introduction

Our Hydration and Repair carriers have often been copied, but like any copy, it is never as good as the original. With over a decade of experience designing these carriers and winning more Ironman Distance World Championships than all our competitors combined, we launched the next generation of XLAB Hydration Carriers. Rear carriers should not interfere with the air on the rider’s back, but instead fill in the turbulence ‘hole’ behind the riders posterior, thereby reducing the rider’s drag (which accounts for 64% of energy used on a racing bicycle). XLAB¬¨¬®‚Äö√тĆCARBON¬¨¬®‚Äö√тĆWING¬¨¬®‚Äö√тĆis designed for 7mm metal saddle rails. For¬¨¬®‚Äö√тĆcarbon¬¨¬®‚Äö√тĆrail saddles use the included¬¨¬®‚Äö√тĆcarbon¬¨¬®‚Äö√тĆrail hardware kit.

Storage

We wanted the next generation of carriers to solve the problem of storing keys, cell phones, cash, tire levers, and other essential items. These and other items can be stored in the XLAB MINI BAG which drops vertically and easily into the integrated compartment and is secured by the top X-STRAP.

As you can see, you have two choices for storing your¬¨¬®‚Äö√тĆAIR STRIKE¬¨¬®‚Äö√тĆCO₂¬¨¬®‚Äö√тĆcartridges and¬¨¬®‚Äö√тĆNANOFLATOR, or XLAB¬¨¬®‚Äö√тĆSPEED CHUCK¬¨¬®‚Äö√тĆon the rear of the¬¨¬®‚Äö√тĆCARBON¬¨¬®‚Äö√тĆWING, using the optional hexagonal¬¨¬®‚Äö√тĆX-NUT¬¨¬®‚Äö√тĆor in the XLAB¬¨¬®‚Äö√тĆMINI BAG.

Tires and tubes are always an issue, so now you can attach them neatly under the CARBON WING inside the XLAB MEZZO BAG.

Hydration

With the CARBON WING you can use a single AQUA SHOT bottle cage on the rear or one on each side. XLAB recommends using either the GORILLA CAGE or the GORILLA XT CAGE for rear carriers.

Adjustable Mounting

One of the key features invented by XLAB is the dual mounting holes for the saddle rail clamps. One position sets the bottle cages close to vertical and the other inclines the cages for rider preference. Because of its past success, we have kept the same feature in the XLAB CARBON WING for customizing the installation.

Bottom Line
