Elite Custom Race Plus Water Bottle Cage Over the past decade the Elite Custom Race has become almost ubiquitous in the World Tour peloton Over the course of the past two seasons Elite have been working with some of their most trusted athletes to get detailed feedback on where the Custom Race could be improved The result is the Custom Race Plus, it's the Custom Race, but fine tuned with a precise eye for detail By increasing the size and changing the alignment of the tension rubber Elite were able to eliminate the 'bottle creep' that could affect the old design in gritty conditions Reshaping the sides has also allowed greater flexibility in bottle insertion and reduced binding during removal
