I was putting in an order with XC Racers shop and looking for a third item to get the discount and found these bottles. I wanted some new black bottles for my Nano Black Ltd Edt road bike and something which holds more than 500ml. These state 650ml and come with a wrist band to hold a gel on the bottle. I will not be using the gel bands just the bottle but a good idea. They come as a pair for £8.99 inc p&p. They are thinner than the High 5 ones and you cannot see how much juice you have left but can judge it by the weight of the bottle when you lift it out of the cage. They also have a very large mouth piece so the juice comes out faster, which it does. They fit all my cages well and are not too loose or rattling about. Time will tell as to how long they will last.
PS they also don not hold 650ml, its just over 500ml !!
Here is a link to the bottles and here is the blurb -
Uses the classic "big mouth" design where you can suck or squeeze a massive amount of fluid out in one go - that leaves you more puff for pedalling.
There's also a "specially designed gel clamping band" - so you can stick a gel under it for extra energy.
The big lid enables full-on access to the internals, so you can keep it nice & clean.
It's in bad boy black, so it looks good and the scuffs don't show up so much.
650ml - an ideal size particularly in multi lap XC races and just nice to drink out of generally.
Fits the MT ZOOM 11g carbon cage nicely.
Sold in pairs.
