The lightest bottle

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.

Thank you for your feedback.

Great lightweight bottle.

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.

Thank you for your feedback.

Great bottle

Doesn't off flavor water. Larger volume. Light with easy to use spout. Diameter is a little slim for many cages. Bottle can pop out when hitting a big bump.

Thank you for your feedback.

I like these bottles alot.

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...

Thank you for your feedback.

Don't buy this bottle.

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.

Works great!

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.

Thank you for your feedback.

Great Value Killer Looks

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.

Thank you for your feedback.

Avoid - virtually impossible to drink out of one-handed.

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.

Thank you for your feedback.

Disappointing

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.

Thank you for your feedback.

Not like the complimentary bottles that companies give out. Just try one and I think you will be back for another one.

Light as claimed with some problems.

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 ,-)

Thank you for your feedback.

Elite Fly 550ml Bottle

What can I say about a lightweight water bottle? It holds water, fits my bottle cage, and holds enough liquid for my purposes. If you purchase one on sale, so much the better.

Wide mouth makes it easy to load with ice. Easy to squeeze while riding and flow is steady. Ultralight but very effective.
