If you're looking for a drinks holder for your downhill bike, this looks ideal.

Possibly quite useful that you can transfer it to a wheelchair.

That's an awesome photoshop.

Also suitable for XC race bikes. I expect to see these all camo stickered up at the next UCI world cup race.

May as well chuck my £60 hip pack on the bin!

Also, I love that they're suggesting you use it to hold a can of fizzy drink, on a mountain bike. That'll end well.

Possibly way cheaper than a pukka travel reducer and certainly more refreshing...

Handy to clip onto your top tube, though might hit your knees off it when you pedal.

Looks like a cheap way to ruin your balls looking at images four and six.

Now ask them to brake or shift gears too...

My Oh bought two very similar things to this from Amazon and they're brilliant.

Attached to the handlebars on the Turbo trainer, great for holding the Steam controller for the PC, mobile phone and TV remote.
Not a lot of cop for drinks past 500ml as the clamps slip during sprinting.

Would be hilarious on a real bike.

Thanks, I've been looking for a way to carry a can of Monster on my handlebar.

I love that they’re suggesting you use it to hold a can of fizzy drink, on a mountain bike. That’ll end well.

Better than Schwinn, who on their iconic gas tank put an inset bit to supposedly hold a coffee cup, but it also suggested bottles of beer and I was just thinking that had you a bottle in it, and slid forward in a front impact. It's goodnight Vienna to your dangly bits.
Best case scenario with a hot (jumbo sized) coffee, would be third degree burns on you knapsack.

All in all not a weell though out idea.

Incidentally. If you ride over a fizzy drink can, it crushes, and folds itself around the tyre, revolving around to the forks and off you go over the front. I did this going down a hill aged 9, still got the scars. Avoid cans on the road like their explosives.
