A bicycle water bottle cage holder is designed to securely mount a water bottle to a bicycle frame. Key specifications include material, size, and mounting method. Common materials are aluminum, carbon fiber, and plastic. Sizes vary, but many fit standard 21-26 ounce cycling water bottles. Mounting often involves screws attaching to dedicated frame bosses, or clamps for handlebars or other tubing.
