Tune Wasserträger 2.0 Carbon Bottle Cage review

published on 27/03/2017 by Remo Knops

Tune Wasserträger 2.0 is a lightweight carbon bottle cage of only 9 grams, that perfectly suits the stealth look of my Canyon Ultimate CF SLX road-bike. The Tune Wasserträger 2.0 comes with aluminum bolts and has a black tune logo on it. For a reasonable price-point you get a Tune branded water bottle with the bottle cage as well.

Tune Wasserträger 2.0 carbon bottle cage design

Tune describes the Tune Wasserträger 2.0 carbon bottle cage on its product page as:

“Constructed completely out of premium carbon fibre, and molded to firmly and gracefully entwine a water bottle. No more losing your bottle, even when mountain-biking, and the flat wound shape ensures optimum aerodynamics. It is attached to the frame with tapered aluminum screws.”

The Tune Wasserträger 2.0 carbon bottle cage has a slim and graceful design.  The Tune logo is black on carbon, so very subtle to see. Tune provides a Tacx Source water bottle with Tune branding and a set of two rubbers that will keep the water bottle even more gripped into the cage. Personally I didn’t install the two rubbers, and I’ve never lost a water bottle on a ride.

Water bottles tested with the Tune Wasserträger 2.0 carbon bottle cage

I’ve tested the Tune Wasserträger 2.0 carbon bottle cage with various water bottles:

  • Assos water bottles are black, and fit perfectly;
  • Camelbak Podium water bottles, don’t fit properly;
  • Elite Corsa water bottles, fit perfectly;
  • Tacx Shiva water bottles, fit perfectly;
  • Zefal Arctica thermo water bottles fit perfectly;

Unfortunately the 2016 version of the Camelbak Podium water bottles didn’t fit (removing the bottle was painful). But so far that’s the only water bottle that didn’t fit the Tune Wasserträger 2.0 perfectly.

Together with the carbon bottle cage you will get the two aluminum bolts (black color).

I’ve replaced the aluminum blots with a set of titanium bolts 6AL-4V grade 5 with measurements M5 x 12 mm. These titanium bolts are perfectly suitable for bottle cages due to the bolt head with a diameter of 11 mm. as you can see in the picture above. The maximum tensile strength is 950N/mm² and the weight is about 1,25 gram per bolt.

Concluding thoughts and wrap-up

The Tune Wasserträger 2.0 is a lightweight, slim and graceful carbon bottle cage of just 9 grams, with a reasonable price-point of € 45,50 (with a Tacx Source water bottle included).

Most quality carbon water bottle cages have a price-point from around the € 50,–. The weight however is much higher, and most of the times no water bottle is included. I only know one lighter bottle cage from carbon works that only weighs 5 grams. and costs about € 60,–.

So overall the Tune Wasserträger 2.0 has an excellent value and weight for the price you pay.

Please make sure you check out another Tune Wasserträger 2.0 review on Life is a Beautiful Detail with some very cool high quality pictures.

    I ran a pair of 750 ml Elite Corsa water bottles on bad Belgian roads. When full they rattle, more than the original Tune water bottles. However I’ve never lost a bottle during that specific ride.
