Building on a 20-year legacy of victory, the Custom Race X takes the Pro Peloton's cage of choice and further improves it with better ergonomics and a 35% weight reduction. Over the past two decades, the Elite Custom Race has become almost ubiquitous in the World Tour peloton; in recent years, over 50% of riders in the Tour de France were using them, a level of domination almost unmatched by any manufacturer in modern times. The Custom Race X utilizes the latest refinements in Elite's molding and stress-analysis technology to reduce the weight of the cage to just 28.5 grams, 35% lower than the previous model. Lowered side supports allow for better side access and easier removal in high-pressure situations; more support at the base ensures this has been achieved with no loss of retention. High-strength polyamide construction with fiberglass reinforcement for improved durability and vibration damping.
