Elite Fly Bottle (550ml)

Those of us that are "upper body challenged" love this bottle. Perfect in winter, even better in summer. Sure, they may wear out faster, but its a water bottle, get more. 'Nuff said, these are 5 star.

I love the look of this bottle and that it's different from the Specialized bottles I see everywhere these days. The colors currently on offer are awesome. I picked up some light green ones and they are a great compliment to my green bike frame. Functionally, the bottles work well. The nozzle has great flow. I like the design of this bottle better than others even though I am having a slight problem with one of them where the nozzle is a little too easy to close. Maybe I got a dud. Either way, the bottle works fine. The top needs to be screwed on tight to avoid leaks. A slightly quirky bottle, but still my favorite.

I been involved in road cycling and racing for significant time and tried all types of bottles , but the Elite Fly Bottle (550ml) delivers in all areas, lite weight,great grip and easy to hold, looks great on your road bike and is definitely a head turner when you match the any of the great pro cycling colors they offer to match your bike and kit. I like a bottle that blends into your bike . I highly recommend this bottle you wil feel like you have a brand new bike once you drop you new Elite Bottle into your water bottle cage.

Good because I am a weight weenie and this is super light. Good because it is minimalist and looks cool in my bike. Good because it is easy to grab, easy to squeeze for a big volume drink and turns back to shape immediately.

Best bottle to save precious grams, thinner than most and do not recommend for metal alloy bottle cages as they seem to crumple the bottle vs the carbon bottle cages work well with these bottles

These are the best water bottles super light easy to squeeze they work best with any elite bottle cages.

If you have the Elite Vico cage, this is a (the only?) bottle that will definitely fit. It weighs virtually nothing. The cap design works well for me. The 2 negatives on the bottle are that the graphics wear off pretty quickly, and the clear bottle stained the first use from my drink mix. Neither of these issues bother me too much, since I keep buying these bottles. The oldest one I have is about 3 seasons old, and it functions just fine.

The best water bottle, easy to use , light .

I love the bottles and they look amazing (new). Lightweight and I didn't find any issue at all with the thin sidewalls or valves.

My only negative is that the lettering and branding on the bottle quickly rub off from the bottle cages.

Great water bottle, very soft when squeezed, only negative is the imprinting wears away but might be due to the type of water bottle cage you have.

I'm not a tall guy and I like riding with a revelate design frame pack. When I do, these bottles fit perfectly underneath in my bottle cages and not protrude too much into my frame pack. Yes, I'm also using one of those bottle cage adapters that lets me mount the cages lower. I just wished there are also lower profiles frame packs out there.

Fantastic color choices featherweights,If your weight- weenie These are 31.3 grams less then a standard specialized water bottle.

Your best bet is to use these for your Short fast group rides or crit races,

I have no issue with these leaking Easy to clean to.

The Elite Fly Bottle is my new favorite because it's made of a nice squeezable material, it has a straight shape with a large mouth that makes it easy to fill, and it's lightweight. The cap secures nicely with no leaks, the nozzle delivers fluid quickly, and the whole thing cleans up easily. I didn't know a bottle could be this good.

I got a pair of these to use on shorter rides, and found they were easy to use, easy to drink out of while riding and look great on the bike..being the right size and clean lines. I think I will get more soon...

This bottle is so thin that when you try to drink out of it, it compress's. Then you have to try to get it back to it original shape. Don't waste your money.

I was in the market for a nice water bottle, and this is the one. If you have a bike thats red, it looks good on it. If you have a bike thats white, and blue, you can use it on Independence Day! Any other color bike would probably look good too though, but I havent tried it yet. Give it a try. Maybe you can get lucky like me. Oh yeah, it holds water well too.

I used store credit to get this bottle & cage for my bike, so the value for this bottle is phenomenal. The Elite bottle is finished in grey white & red graphics which match my bike perfectly. The bottle fits snugly in the cage & will be used to stow liquids & gels.

Avoid this water bottle. It's so flimsy that it collapses when you flip it upside down to drink out of it. Also, the nozzle is so loose that by pressing against it with your lips you automatically close it. So impossible to drink out of with one hand. Need one hand to keep the nozzle from closing and the other hand to squeeze the bottle. Pointless.

I bought three of these bottles to use on my indoor trainer. Unfortunately, one had a small hole in the bottom in the injection site that dripped incessantly, one leaks around the nozzle when I drink, and one works fine. I'm not too broken up about it because I purchased these on closeout at a ridiculously low price. It didn't seem worth the trouble to go through the return process, etc. just for a few bucks. So hopefully BikeTiresDirect has exhausted their inventory of these pitiful products and I will try to be less of a cheapskate in my future purchases.

I bought this to check out the claims. Yes, you can save some grams. However, the plastic is very thin as expected and it can stay sucked in after taking a drink as the valve self-closes and then it doesn't fit in the cage correctly.

I wouldn't use it as a daily bottle, but I will save it for Strava hunting ,-)
