Elite Fly MTB 550ml Bottle (Black, Tex) – Lightweight, High-Performance Mountain Bike Bottle

-

Compared to other lighter and thinner counterparts, the material and construction seems to be durable. Also, there is no plasticy or toxic smell at all.

Superb bottles. Long lasting and lightweight.

Easiest to squeeze bottle I've ever used. Great functionality. The clear color will stain through. Tossed my clear one eventually and bought the black color.

I love the elite water bottles, the softness of the squeez and high flow nozzle allow you to get a lot of water at one time when you want it, which is great on the bike instead of small sips. You could take a gulp and keep moving.

REVIEW UPDATE: After some usage time, it is not odourless anymore. MY FORMER REVIEW: I am convinced that the bidons material is too thin for making it lightweight, but I observed that it makes the bidon so vulnerable that it can easily change its default shape even under slight temperature and pressure changes; I mean the natural changes like from evening to the morning. Plus I worry about grabing it a little bit hard to not harm its shape. However: 1. It is really odouless (my last bidon was making me feel like I was drinking micro plastics if I left the water in it more than one day and I made an experiment with this bottle in 3 days' time). 2. The lid isn't leaking (you don't have to screw the lid too hard for making it leak-free unlike my previous bidon). 3. The water flow level is really good as much as you don't struggle to take the right amount of water. 4. The flip top doesn't close whenever you raise the bidon to drink (which is a good thing).

Used once on the trip, Fits my giant bottle holder. I found out that if u close the cap and squeze, somehow the air gets out through some tiny space and creates like a vacuum insdie and keep the bottle in a weird shape. But for its money its worth it. If you will use ont he extrnal bottom frame, near the front wheel or ground.The plastic cover will help from mud and dust. as extra bottle on the trip is good.
