Elite Fly Tex Cycling Water Bottle 550ml – Amaranth – Ultra-Lightweight, BPA-Free, Easy-Squeeze Sports Bottle for Road, MTB & Gravel

These Elite bottles are the lightest out there I have found. Easy to handle with textured sides and easy to clean and disinfect. Flow freely for efficient drinking.

Really lightweight, high flow volume, great bottle. The cap is a bit prone to leaking if you don't really tighten it but overall, a nice bottle. They fit great in just about any bottle holder you could imagine as well. I would buy again.

Fits cage well, very secure. Bottle material is grippy enough to prevent dropping while riding. Spout provides really good squirt option that only requires minimal squeeze of the bottle. The 550 mL size, at first glance, seemed underwhelming but is actually plenty.

I really like this bottle. I've bought 3 of them and am about to buy 2 more. It's very light, and the high flow nozzle is great to get fluids down quickly on the bike. I'm deducting a star for two reasons: 1) You do have to pull the rubber valve top/nozzle off to clean it properly, and this leads to it becoming loose and over time, leaking when you drink, 2) They're quite fragile; one bottle split down the side when I dropped it (while full) on my kitchen floor, and the top broke on another when I dropped it. In 40 years of cycling, I don't think I've never had another bottle break. But, even with these flaws, I will still buy this bottle. Looks great - especially with the Elite cages - and works great. I can accept paying a bit more for replacements every few months. Would still absolutely recommend to serious cyclists.

This bottle is lite! I'm a weight weenie when it comes to equipment for cycling so I'm always looking for ways to shave grams where I can. One item that is often overlooked are water bottles. Depending on the thickness of the plastic used, and if they have insulation, those bottles can get heavy. This bottle is not only light, but it is also comfortable in the hand, easy to squeeze, and it dispenses more liquid per squeeze than other bottles that I have used.

Bottle plastic is a little thin Hooe it holds up but seems to be a good quality product

I was eager to try this bottle since people rave about how lightweight and effective these bottles are. Elite bottles are the pinnacle of water bottles. After using another brand for a few years, I decided to purchase this Elite bottle. While it is indeed very thin and lightweight, every time I squeeze it for a large sip, it leaks from underneath the cap (from where the pressure of my fingers is). The valve itself operates well, and the bottle looks great, but that’s where my satisfaction ends. This has been the "leakiest" bottle I’ve ever owned, from day one. Well, I guess it's back to Polar Breakaway bottles for me.

Excellent water bottle wide mouth easy to squeeze liquid come out fast with good volume. Easier to clean the cap than specialized cap. Have used and purchased for several years will buy again.
