Reviews over the

Elite Fly

Nice water bottle, nice and thin so no need to squeeze hard.

Pros & Cons

Perfect water bottle on the bike

Pros & Cons

It is just one water bottle that does live up to expectations. Good price

Pros & Cons

The transparency allows you to see from a distance if they still need some filling. They have a large flow-through opening and with one squeeze you already have enough inside. Stays firmly in place but is easy to slide in and out of the holder because of the machined outside.

Pros & Cons

I started with the cheap Tacx bidons of few € because I thought there can't be that much difference with the more expensive bidons. Well I can say that these Elite Fly bottles are from another planet and not even much more expensive considering the good price at Mantel. The water bottles are light, flexible, and "smooth" to use. Have a set of black and beige water bottles and I'm going to order the gray ones too! Have to say though that howevel the beige ones are very fancy they words quickly get dirty from 'road dust' and don't get them clean. With the black ones you don't see that. Therefore 7/10 for the beige and 10/10 for black.

Pros & Cons

Fine water bottle. Drink nicely and squeezing it brings out a good sip.

Pros & Cons

Fine bidion, very light so super for cycling. The transparent version is handy because it allows you to keep an eye on whether you are drinking enough water! Perhaps the bidion does not last as long because it is made of thin plastic.

Pros & Cons

The water bottle sits tightly in the holder but is also easily grabbed out, drinks easily and then seals well again and personal taste: the blue color matches my bike well.

Top thing! Much better than my old "normal" water bottles!

Pros & Cons

Best water bottles out there

Easy to use. The flexible material makes it easy to squeeze for quick drinking.

Pros & Cons

Good, light canisters, but they mark up very quickly when you put them on and take them off the canister holder. One 3-hour outing and they feel like they're already 1 year old.

Pros & Cons

Very light and flexible bottle. The teat is also very soft.

Pros & Cons

A not too expensive extremely light and fine drinking water bottle. Totally awesome so just a pity it can't go in the dishwasher. And that after 10 times out of my bottle cage it is completely scratched.

Pros & Cons

Does what it is supposed to do. Used 3x two hours now and already quite a few scratches can be seen, versus my Tacx canisters this is a downside though

Pros & Cons

Very nice product and the mint green color matches my canyon Aeroad perfectly

Pros & Cons

Have more of this type of water bottle, super.

Pros & Cons

While cycling very easy to use. Very easy to squeeze. The drinking hole seems a bit larger, giving you "a lot in one gulp.

Pros & Cons

A super-light, flexible can with a high-flow nozzle. I've got three of them, and I'm very happy with them. I highly recommend them.

Pros & Cons

Eens je deze gebruikt hebt wil je geen andere meer. Geen gedoe met dop die dichtgaat terwijl je drinkt.

3rd year in a row I order 2, very nice water bottles of almost 1 liter, so I always have enough drinks with me.

Pros & Cons

lightweight and easy to use.

Pros & Cons

Easy to grip and easy to drink thanks to its softness

Pros & Cons

Beautiful water bottle and light in weight. Because it is made of thin material, the water bottle is also easy to squeeze, allowing you to take big sips quickly. Ideal for during a race. The opening is also generous, so you can easily scoop in the sports drink powders without throwing everything next to it. I always order several, because during the race I sometimes throw them away at other riders' attendants so I can take another one and then the fly water bottle doesn't always come back. Because of this, I did discover a difference in quality. Some water bottles are perfect and others leak slightly and with some the (suction) cap comes off. The latter is quite annoying when you clamp the bottle between your teeth to change the holder or when refueling. Then you can just have the cap between your teeth and a full bottle falls on the ground in the middle of the peloton. That doesn't make you any friends in the peloton. All in all, I'll keep ordering these water bottles. The disadvantages outweigh the advantages.

Pros & Cons

Great water bottle, large twist cap convenient design, can squeeze it well and there is no dirty plastic smell.

Pros & Cons

Great, but moves even with a can holder from the same brand (the cannibal).

Pros & Cons

Pleasant water bottle, drinks more pleasantly for me due to large spout. Nice and light.

Pros & Cons

Nice water bottle but scratches very fast. So is quickly ugly.

Pros & Cons

Easy drinking due to the soft material.

I have been using the elite water bottles for years. Very satisfied with them.

Pros & Cons

Great water bottle. Have yet to see how it performs when it goes in the dishwasher.

Pros & Cons

Its length/size makes it easy to grab from the bottle cage while riding. It is of flexible material, so easy to squeeze to push drink out. MINPUNT: Don't know if it's there, but it was only in black at Mantel. Other colors would have been nice too.

Pros & Cons

Good light sturdy water bottle

Pros & Cons

Used it on 3 rides so far and I'm absolutely happy with the bottle. Fits great, sits great, easy to use.

Pros & Cons

Fine drinking water bottles. Good to squeeze and a mouthpiece that gives a good drinking spray. Susceptible to scratching, though. The wall of the water bottles is very thin. This makes the bottle easy to empty, but it also causes the bottle to deform easily. Especially as soon as water of a higher temperature enters, for example when rinsing. Except for the cap, these water bottles are not dishwasher safe.

Pros & Cons

Very good product, I was surprised by how little it weighed when I first picked it up. Comfortable to use

Pros & Cons

Bottle meets expectations. Light, large capacity, easy to use.

Pros & Cons

Excellent (smaller) water bottle

Pros & Cons

Nice and light (every gram counts ;-) ), does not leak, drinks perfectly

Pros & Cons

57gr for the 750ml version. My "normal" water bottles are 98gr. With two, that's still almost 100gr "gain" should you care.

Pros & Cons

The best water bottle I've had to date, have the black version. Easy to squeeze, a fine drinking spout that is easy to open and close and lets a lot of drink through if you want. Easy to fill due to large opening so no messing with powders. And then it's light too! That it scratches and the logos come off a bit quickly, yes but that is hardly different with other water bottles. Have no reason to believe it won't last a whole season. It fits perfectly in my BBB holders. Only minor drawback is that the large version is a bit small. 750ml is really filled to the brim. You often see that different with other models. The 550ml Fly, for example, holds 600ml.

Pros & Cons

Top product

Pros & Cons

Lightweight water bottle with pleasantly large spout and large opening what water/powder needs to go through. Too bad the water bottle is scratched after a few rides, but this does not detract from the performance.

Pros & Cons

We always buy these Elite bottles (we have like 5 of them). Reasonably priced, do not taste like plastic and the nozzle is just great.

Pros & Cons

Super easy to use. Looks very good. Everything as I imagined it at a top price.

Fine water bottle

Pros & Cons

Fine light water bottles which have a good solid cap!

Pros & Cons

Beautiful appearance to not functional. Bottle feels too soft and cap falls back while drinking. Basically a misfire.

Pros & Cons

I love the design, you drink from it very easily because the flexible material allows you to suck or squeeze through nicely. The large mouthpiece also contributes to this, it is comfortable and also easy to open. A water bottle has two functions, thirst quenching when needed and storing the liquid the rest of the time. At the latter, this product fails. At first use already leakage, mainly from under the mouthpiece. This worsened after a few uses to substantial splashing every time you close the mouthpiece. I wonder if this is inherent in the design or if my water bottle is slightly defective.

Pros & Cons

Super bottle, everything good, but unfortunately also not tight

Light and ergonomic bottle. 100% recomendable

Pros & Cons

I like to have new fresh water bottles on a regular basis. It should be light and have a flexible drinking spout. Not one of those stiff ones that you run around fumbling to get it open while cycling. This water bottle from Elite totally meets those requirements and it's also great value for money!

Pros & Cons

Nice light water bottle with easy outflow, which I am very happy with after years of rigid water bottles. It does sit just too tight in the holder which damages the paint quickly and makes it hard to take out.

Pros & Cons

Fine water bottle. Drinks easily and is easy to squeeze. Thereby, a lot of water/sports drink comes through the drinking spout.

Pros & Cons

A nice water bottle that is softer and therefore easier to squeeze. The drinking spout is easy to open without getting stuck with your lip. I replace all my water bottles for this type.

Pros & Cons

Opted for the beige water bottle, something different for once. Fits perfectly in my bottle cages (also purchased through Mantel).

Pros & Cons

Have a 750ml and 500ml. Water bottles are nice and compact.

Pros & Cons

Ordered the water bottles earlier, the best I've had in years

Pros & Cons

An excellent purchase, lightweight, soft plastic, so easy to squeeze and the mouthpiece allows plenty of liquid to pass through. The cap is large, which contributes to easy cleaning. Because of the large opening, the water bottle is also great for storing spare parts. Just a pity that the print does disappear very quickly.

Pros & Cons

Too recent to meet my expectations.

Pros & Cons

Great inexpensive and compact water bottle. Does not rattle and wring in Elite's carbon holders. This is different with the Corsa and other models of this brand. Because of the flat cap, the bottle is not as long as other models. That takes some getting used to when you're facing the road, blindly trying to grab your water bottle from the front. The same goes for putting it back in its holder. The water bottle hardly weighs anything and you don't have to use much force to squeeze it. The material is nice and flexible. The wide opening makes it easy to clean. Also the cap and spout can easily be taken apart for cleaning. The only disadvantage is that the bottle discolors quickly due to dyes in beverages. By the way, that says more about the drinks than the water bottle. But a transparent water bottle that turns completely yellow quickly doesn't look fresh anymore. You make that mistake once and since the bottle is not expensive, I immediately ordered a new one.

Pros & Cons

These would have been perfect water bottles if they didn't start leaking at/under the valve after several months in use.

Pros & Cons

Looks nice on the pictures but once put into use the water bottle quickly loses its shape due to the (too) thin material and gets all scratches on it which makes it look bad

Pros & Cons

Excellent water bottle. Fits well in a standard bottle cage. Light weight and easy to squeeze.

Pros & Cons

Exactly the impression that this PVC composition is slightly less susceptible to mold than the other biddons on the market. So hangs nasty odors a little less easily (some always manage of course :).

Pros & Cons

Very light water bottle, nothing to complain about! :-)

Pros & Cons

All good feels good in the hand and is good quality.

Pros & Cons

Great bottle. It is a semi hard bottle that you can squeeze so you can drink quickly. In retrospect, a black bottle was not so convenient because it gets hot in the sun. Of course that is my own fault. All in all a fine bottle for a fine price.

Pros & Cons

Top water bottle, very light and ideal for drinking from.

Pros & Cons

Nice water bottle, lightweight. But be careful with dishwasher: the water bottles can only withstand 40 degrees. With us it is set higher by default, in no time the water bottles are broken.

Pros & Cons

price-quality

Great water bottle and perfect in the elite holder

Pros & Cons

A good light yet sturdy water bottle.

Pros & Cons

The water bottle is superfine to use: the spout opens easily, the bottle is easy to squeeze and also quickly regains its shape. The surface of the water bottles have a special relief so you have more grip. The water bottles are very thin and thus lightweight. I don't yet know if that affects durability and dishwasher resistance. In terms of capacity, they seem to me just a sip smaller than my previous Elite water bottle.

Pros & Cons

Drinks well, feels nice and good in the hand

Pros & Cons

Pros & Cons

If you don't mind the text coming off quickly and being damaged, it is highly recommended

Pros & Cons

Good and decent drinking can for little money.

Pros & Cons

Very fine material soft and light

Pros & Cons

Choked on so much water coming out the first time. Not used to it, haha!

Pros & Cons

Does the job

Pros & Cons

Best water bottle, have several.

Pros & Cons

Fine water bottle, nice and light and with fine drinking cap.

Pros & Cons

I bought these water bottles to use with a frame bag. Since my frame is relatively small, the water bottle could not be too big. This one fits perfectly without going smaller than a volume of 550ml.

Pros & Cons

Very practical, flexible bottle for drinking, easy to wash compared with older models. Impeccable

Pros & Cons

The water bottle is definitely light, and not expensive. I just find it too soft and thin. They get dented by my BBB bottle cage, not ideal.

Pros & Cons

Great water bottle for just the right price. No undertaste.

Pros & Cons

Fine bottle with decent drinking spout that does not leak.

Pros & Cons

Fine lightweight water bottle, but very sturdy they are not. The material is very thin. Not a good combination with the Elite Custom Bottle Holder. They are way too tight in here and deform completely. And once they are in, they don't stay straight. Very unfortunate.

Pros & Cons

Great water bottles for cycling, but totally unsuitable for mountain biking. The bottles do not seal very well, so they leak quickly. Because of the thin wall, the bottle is very limp, causing the drink to squirt out. And the shape is straight, so there is no grip. All features that are inconvenient for mountain biking, but need not be a problem for cycling.

Pros & Cons

High-quality product with no apparent defects, even with off-road use.

Pros & Cons

Works as it should.

Pros & Cons

Best and easiest drinking water bottle, highly recommended.

Pros & Cons

This cap drinks very nicely. Bottle itself is very thin-walled. Therefore does not last very long. Bounced out of my mtb 1 time and immediately ruptured. Would be nice if Elite would make a water bottle that is a bit more solid. You won't notice those few extra grams and it will increase the lifespan considerably.

Pros & Cons

Fine water bottle, fits a lot despite being slightly smaller

Pros & Cons

Not really important. But too bad the letters come off so quickly.

This is just the best water bottle so far, large drinking opening, very light weight, yet sturdy enough. Price is not too crazy either what more could you want!

Pros & Cons

fine water bottle with large drinking opening. Because the body is quite thin you can easily squeeze it to drink. The disadvantage is that the bottle needs to be replaced sooner due to wear and tear.

Pros & Cons

Great product. Not for dishwasher!!! Distortion...
