Pros & Cons
5 / 5
More than excellent water bottle.
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.

The best water bottles!
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.

Both lightweight and light in your wallet
Fine water bottle. Drink nicely and squeezing it brings out a good sip.

Practical
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.

Good water bottle
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.

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.

Well-priced competitive water bottle.
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.

Good bus for the price, highly recommended!
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

I like the water bottle and motivates me to cycle.
While cycling very easy to use. Very easy to squeeze. The drinking hole seems a bit larger, giving you "a lot in one gulp.

A big gulp between two breaths
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.

Een aanrader, voor mij geen andere seinvuren meer

Good water bottle, but variable quality.
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.

Good water bottle
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.

Fine drinking water bottle, with some drawbacks.
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.

Best water bottle I ever had
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.

Beautiful misfire
Beautiful appearance to not functional. Bottle feels too soft and cap falls back while drinking. Basically a misfire.
Pros & Cons
3 / 5
Drinks well due to good mouthpiece and flexibility, but fails at keeping the liquid in.
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.

Fine lightweight water bottle with smooth solid closure
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
3 / 5
For the price, a fine water bottle, but a little too wide.
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.

How beautiful and practical come together
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.

super light and excellent operation
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.

No nonsense water bottle that is definitely recommended.
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.

Ideal water bottles until they start leaking
These would have been perfect water bottles if they didn't start leaking at/under the valve after several months in use.
Pros & Cons
1 / 5
Too good to be true
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

Good biddon, slightly less prone to mold (and thus nasty odors)
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 :).

Great bottle at a great price.
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.

Very nice water bottle
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.

Thin, floppy and lightweight water bottles
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
3 / 5
Medium
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.

Drinks fine though fragile
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.
