Stainless Supremacy
Get better flow by design with the 21 oz Bivo Trio, the first insulated stainless-steel bottle with a flow-rate designed for cyclists. Leveraging ex-NASA engineering experience, Bivo methodically developed their bottles to achieve an unmatched flow-rate without the need to squeeze. The result is a smooth, consistent and enjoyable drinking experience designed for cyclists. And with top class insulation you can count on 12+ hours of chill.
Have serious fun with less waste. Bivo's goal was to drink out of less plastic and keep the planet healthy by caring deeply about the impact of raw materials on humans and humanity. They scrutinized every decision when it came to the materialization of this bottle and have offset its impact to be completely carbon neutral.
And sustainability doesn't have to mean sacrifice. This bottle was designed so you never have to experience the taste of plastic or mold again. From selecting high quality stainless steel, to food-grade silicone, to ensuring you can disassemble and clean your bottle with ease, they thought of everything.
And since it's built with the newest lightweight double wall vacuum insulation technology on the market, the Trio is 25% lighter and uses 25% less material than traditional insulated metal bottles.
Bottles For Bikes
Get cage freedom. It's obviously is important for any bidon to stay in the cage over bumps, potholes, and rough roads. Yet, it's also important to be able to get your bottle out with ease. Bivo was designed around most major bottle cages so the shape fits comfortably and stays put while loading and unloading easily.
Plus get more grip while avoiding rattle. Whether it is a long grind through a washboarded gravel road or the next hit on your mountain bike, the Bivo's silicone exterior coating is designed to keep your bottle in your hand, in your cage, and quiet enough to hear the birds.

Reviews
Love this vacuum steel bottle. This is now my regular bottle. Even when not biking, I love taking it around as my drink bottle. My review pertains to the 21oz vacuum bottle in "Raw" color (ie stainless steel). POSITIVES: (a) Keeps cold much longer than plastic thermal bottles, the difference is especially noticeable in the summer season. (b) High flow rate, more satisfying to drink from than all the various brands of plastic bottles I've had. To drink, you cannot squeeze the bottle ('cuz metal). Rather, with the valve in the open position, you hold the bottle upsidedown. Then you either let the water flow freely into your mouth without it touching your lips (wow that flow rate is most satisfying), or you suck on the valve for an even higher flow rate. (c) No plastic taste. (d) Easy to disassemble the cap/valve assembly, for easier cleaning , better hygiene. (e) Nice to look at. NEGATIVES: (1) More expensive (but to me, worth it, because plastic thermal bottles just can't cut it in the summer). (2) Shutting the valve is clumsy. This is why I don't give it a perfect 5-stars. You have to press down on the valve hard, and make sure it's really seated. And if you forget to shut it, or don't shut it we'll enough, and you tip the bottle (say it tips in your travel bag, or you lay your bike flat on the ground with the bottle still attached to the bike, or you drop the bottle), the water flows out at great volume, because ironically it's got a very good flow rate. (3) Metal gets banged up if you drop it. It scratches if your bottle cage is tight. (4) Heavier than plastic (but to me, a small difference, not an issue)
This is an updated review after using from February through June in southeast Texas. I have the Raw (stainless steel) version. My first review was before hot weather really set in after purchasing and using. First of all, I don't have to worry about nicking the colored epoxy coating since I have the Raw SS bottles. They are scuffed from using in my bottle cages. However, they basically look normal. The bivo logo is wearing off, but not a big deal to me. The trick for me is to count the number of ice cubes I put in each bottle so they melt at the right rate - little more in the second bottle. You can't drink ice, but you want the liquid to be cold when you need it. You can definitely put enough ice in the bottle to stay frozen for three plus hours. I open and close the liquid flow using my front teeth in the ridge of the nipple - no flipping and pressing against my thigh. Another plus is that the outside of the bottle will stay dry in high humidity which lessens the risk of the bottle slipping out of your hands. I have seen water condense on the top of the lid when the bottle itself was dry. It should be noted, however, that if you drop the bottle in a peloton and another rider runs over it, there will be no give. Regardless, whether stainless steel or plastic, either can be disastrous for a fellow rider if you drop a bottle. The stainless will be damaged, plastic not so much. I liked the first one enough to buy a second raw bottle - no rules violation or points deduction for mismatched bottles on my bike. One or even two bottles easily get me to our group's coffee stop where I can refill on and add electrolytes before finishing a 50 mile plus/minus ride in the summer.
I ordered a Mango 21Oz Bivo, it arrived just after a weeklong ride, so no chance to try it there. I did fill it with icewater and set in the evening sun/heat, 2 hours later little sign of ice melting. Downside is with too much ice, getting the siphon/vent to stick down into the icewater can be challenging, think of try to push a wet noodle. Given the different material types of the bottle coating and lid, I expect colors to fade differently in the sun over time, and not look so cool. And finally, another $5 for a nozzle dirt cap seems excessive given the price of the bottle to start.
I grew tired of insulated plastic water bottles that never really kept the contents cool, as well as the malodor/weird taste that developed over time while using them. I decided to try out the Bivo Trio 21oz Insulated SS bottles and I have to say, I'm Impressed!!!
I purchased two in the yellow (costs less due to unpopular color) and found them priced the lowest at BikeTiresDirect vs. competitors.
I got to try them out during a weeklong trip through Wisconsin in June '24. The contents remained exceptionally cold (I could even still hear the ice clinking against the walls as I pedaled, hours after initially filling! They remain secured in my bottle cage and were easy to operate while pedaling (just pull up the pliable spout with your teeth and tip bottle back - contents flow freely down your gullet!!! There were a few instances whereby I had to repeat the process because there wasn't much flow; I simply repeated the process and it resolved the issue (not sure if it was due to an air bubble or something else?). The Bivo bottles have a nice finish to them and appear to be fairly durable to abrasions.
I'm extremely happy with the Bivo Trio 12oz Insulated Stainless Steel bottles and would recommend them to those that are looking for a better solution to insulated plastic water bottles.
This bottle will indeed keep your liquids cold. I got this in late December. Now it is past mid-April in SE Texas and things are warming up 2500 miles and four months later. I waited until the days reached at least mid-eighties to submit this review. The trick for me has been to put the right amount of ice in it so that the liquid stays cold, but that the ice melts by the time I finish its contents. You can't drink ice. I wish the insulated bottle was 24 ounces instead of 21. An additional three ounces makes a big difference when riding for three hours, about 50 miles, in high heat and humidity. I have the raw version of this bottle. I've had it in and out of the bottle cages enough that the Bivo logo is wearing off. The stainless steel is not the new, shiny surface it was when new, but it actually looks fine and normal to me. None of my plastic bottles look new and they are much less attractive after much use. I'll probably add another raw Bivo for the summer so I have two matching ones instead of one Bivo Tiro and another popular plastic brand like I've been carrying. I like the nozzle and internal air tube system with the provided silicone squeegee for cleaning it. The competitor's nozzle is difficult to take apart and clean. Bivo's is easy. I will buy a second Bivo Trio.
I really love the metal bottle with the silicone valve. It feels great in my hand, not too slippery, and the purple is so bright and vivid. It fits snuggly in my bontrager cages - it feels like I�m scratching it when I put it in and out, but so far no damage to the exterior. I�m still trying to get used to the flow. You don�t suck at all, only tilt the bottle up and water flows out. It seems to work better when the bottle is more full, and I get more air and it takes longer to get a drink as it empties. Overall I still like the benefits of no plastic over the flow, I�m sure I�ll like it more over time with more use.
This water bottle keeps the drink so cold. I love the finish as well. I was worried it would be marked up from putting it in and out of a water bottle cage but it still looks brand new. Also I love that it comes apart and is dishwasher safe. I highly recommend it. Expensive but worth it!
Water bottle works as advertised, flow rate is great, bottle has a nice texture that isn�t slippery. Haven�t been on any rides out in the heat yet so can�t comment on how well it maintains temperature. Overall great water bottle, just on the pricey side.
I have used my 20 oz Bivo Trio insulated bottle on 70 and 80 degree F, 2.5 to 3.5 hour rides. I like its ability to keep liquid cold and ice still present long after the ride is finished. The ease of flow of liquid contents is awesome. I bought the raw stainless steel version and it does get scratched when placing and removing it from a stainless steel bottle holder with which my gravel bike is equipped. It did not get scratched when I used it in a carbon fiber bottle holder on my road bike.
I use this bottle on all my rides. I have ridden up to 4 hours in temps ranging from 60-80F and still had some ice in the bottle at the end of the rides. The flow rate is as-advertised and is excellent. You can drain the entire bottle in about 10 seconds.
