Have seen the specialized swat system and the trek fuel ex now has a similar system on there carbon bikes but both outside my price range. Do any other bikes has similar?
Thanks
Nope, you couldn't really form those shapes into aluminium. Just get a saddlebag, or there are various bottle cages designed to hold CO2, tools, puncture kits etc under the bottle.
I did see an article on some bespoke touring bikes years ago which had sealed tubes so you could fill them with fuel for your stove which was really cool, but a bit niche and not very #ENDURO.

Worth a look for ideas
I just use a sort of bottle-tool-capsule thing. it's like a softcase bottle with a waterproof zip that fits into a bottle cage. It holds a pump, tube, multitool, tyre levers, tubeless repair kit, piankillers, a couple of bolts and a spare chainlink. I just swap it in seconds to whichever bike i'm riding. far more versatile than a saddlebag if you've got multiple bikes or often stop a lock the bike. it also keeps my jersey pockets free for phone, food, gilet, etc.
This is a similar thing from eBay
I tried just using an old water bottle, but its a pain to get the right thing out of it when you need it and it rattles - this doesn't.
Carbonwasp make one, but it’s in the same price bracket (maybe more) than the Spesh and Trek.
I think more manufacturers will jump on the bandwagon, eventually, though.
need an MTB version of the DOPPELGANGER Road Yacht
as above bottle tool thingies, or take a look at 76 projects. They have frame mounted tool bags, one that fits to bosses and one that fits anyhwere. I have tested both and they are very good.
