Tune Wasserträger 2.0 review

In this article I’m going to give you my honest Tune Wasserträger 2.0 review.
It’s a carbon bottle cage where the bolts weigh over half the weight of the bottle cage itself, for a total of 14 grams. The bottle cage is 9 grams.
I paid €48.80, which is more than 56 USD excluding shipping costs. So the main question is why on earth would you spend that kind of money on something, that besides the minimal weight gain and aesthetics, offers nothing else in terms of functionality. Some people buy an entire bike for that kind of money.
So first of, let’s get one thing out of the way and that’s the following. The Tune Wasserträger 2.0 is a really good bottle cage, that does it’s job near perfect.
The bottle cage comes with two rubbers that are kept into place with the two bolts. These rubbers make sure your water bottle stays where it should be, because carbon doesn’t give much in any way and can’t provide stretch as with classic aluminium bottle cages.
I lost one of the rubbers really quickly, probably when I removed the water bottle while riding. This wasn’t a big deal, because two provided too much grip anyway. But that’s something to keep in mind.
I also believe that 9 grams is one of the lightest bottle cages in the world. So as far as weight gain with the help of a bottle cage is concerned, this one scores an A+.
The bottle cage is very well engineered with a small curve in the top lip that helps getting your water bottle in without losing much grip.
And after a lot of use it hardly shows any signs of wear.
