Our Hydration and Repair carriers have often been copied, but like any copy, it is never as good as the original.  With over a decade of experience designing these carriers and winning more Ironman World Championships than all our competitors combined, we have launched the first of the next generation of Xlab Hydration Carriers.  Already endorsed by Michellie Jones, the 2007 Ford Ironman World Champion, this new ‘wing’ will be on winning race rockets for the next several years.

Rear carriers should not interfere with the air on the rider’s back, but instead fill in the turbulence ‘hole’ behind the riders posterior, thereby reducing the rider’s drag  (which accounts for 64% of energy used on a racing bicycle).

One of the key features invented by Xlab is the dual mounting holes for the saddle rail clamps. One position sets the bottle cages close to vertical and the other inclines the cages for rider preference. Because of it's past success, we have kept the same feature in the Xlab Carbon Wing for customizing the installation.

We use the latest carbon fibre composite with a special lay-up and resins to provide the toughest carbon carrier on the market with no twisting like other carbon hydration carriers. Without hardware the Xlab Carbon Wing weighs only 55 grams.
