PROVEN IN COMPETITION
XLAB Hydration and Repair carriers have often been copied, but never bettered. With over a decade's experience of designing these carriers and winning more Ironman Distance World Championships than all its competitors combined, XLAB has now launched the first of the next generation of alloy XLAB Hydration Carriers.
Rear carriers should not interfere with the air over your back, but instead fill in the turbulence 'hole' behind your posterior, thereby reducing your drag - which accounts for almost two-thirds of the energy used on a race bike. In wind tunnel tests, the bottle was placed behind the rider to 'catch the draught'. As a result, it causes no extra drag.
CUTTING-EDGE STORAGE SOLUTION
XLAB 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 Top Bag which drops vertically and easily into the rear 'luggage compartment' and is secured by the top strap.
As you can see below, you have two choices for storing your CO2 cartridges and Nanoflator, or Speed Chuck on the rear of the Super Wing, using the optional hexagonal X-Nut or in the Xlab Mini Top Bag.
Tyres and tubes are always an issue, so now you can attach them neatly under the Super Wing inside the Xlab Mezzo Lower Bag, Xlab Mega Lower Bag, or without the bag.
HYDRATION WITH NO SPEED PENALTY
With the new Super Wing you can use a single bottle cage on the rear or one on each side. These cages have no restrictive protrusion where the bottle enters the cage.
ADJUSTABLE MOUNTING
One of the key features devised by XLAB is the multiple mounting holes for the saddle rail clamps. One position sets the bottle cages close to vertical and others incline the cages for rider preference. Because of it's past success, we have kept the same feature in the XLAB Super Wing for customising the installation.
In addition, there are four sets of holes for the lower cage bolts which with the front holes provides a total of 12 different cage angle positions.
LIGHTWEIGHT
We use the latest aerospace aluminium alloy to provide the toughest alloy carrier on the market with no twisting like other hydration carriers. Without hardware the XLAB aluminium Super Wing weighs only 85 grams.
