Elite

The craftsmanship and finish are top-notch ' the carbon weave and Elite branding give it a premium look that complements any high-end bike setup. I've used it with both Elite and non-Elite bottles, and compatibility has been perfect so far.

What stands out most is how it blends performance and practicality: ultra-light without feeling fragile, aerodynamic without being overdesigned. After multiple rides and a few rough descents, there's no rattle or flex, which says a lot about its build quality.

Perfect water bottle. Cheap, easy to fill, and easy to squeeze water out

This really improves your engagement with Zwift. You pay much more attention to the twists and turns of the road, making the experience more immersive. I also run Zwift Sauce in order to see the drafting meter, and combined with the Sterzo, I am much more deeply engaged in my Zwift rides. I also have the Zwift play controllers that allow steering, but their approach is nowhere near as intuitive as this. I also have to give a shout-out to Sterzo customer support. A spring broke on my Sterzo after a couple of years of use. I contacted them for a replacement spring, and they sent me a whole new unit. Bluetooth connection is rock solid.

Purchased this as a gift and installed 2 on my daughter's brand new gravel bike.

We did some punchy/rough rides together and she never lost a bottle and they look great.

The side enter/exit is critical since she's 5' 3', so it's not a large frame triangle to navigate.

She loves these compared to her past cages on her prior gravel bike.

Full transparency, I'm partial to Elite cages: I have 2 on my ORBEA Orca OMX that have never failed.
