Reviews over the

Elite Fly

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

Pros & Cons

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

Pros & Cons

Fine water bottle in use.

Pros & Cons

Perfect water bottle on the bike

Pros & Cons

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

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 good light yet sturdy water bottle.

Pros & Cons

Excellent (smaller) water bottle

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

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

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

In itself a nice practical water bottle that drinks well and is easy to keep clean. Damaged quickly in the bottle cage, but what bottle doesn't. Would have preferred the larger 850ml+, which elite also used to have in their assortment.

Pros & Cons

Fine water bottle, fits a lot despite being slightly smaller

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

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

Pros & Cons

Top water bottles nice to drink out of for a nice price and fit well in all the bottle cages on our bikes

Pros & Cons

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

Pros & Cons

Great water bottle and perfect in the elite holder

Pros & Cons

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

Pros & Cons

Nice water bottle, which drinks fine, but does not last very long.

Pros & Cons

Very lightweight water bottle with large fill opening so no mess with filling. Soft drinking spout makes for comfortable drinking. Material is a bit thin so when unscrewing do not hold under as the water bottle may twist.

Pros & Cons

I think the Elite Fly is a fine water bottle, weighs very little but drinks tremendously fine and looks good. The only downside is that the outside of the water bottle gets scratched quite quickly, but I personally don't mind that much.

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

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

Pros & Cons

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

Pros & Cons

Ideal Bidon with fine drinking spout

Pros & Cons

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

Pros & Cons

Great price for a stylish and functional bottle. Opening/closing works well. The plastic is quite soft, which can be good to know if you do not like it.

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

lightweight and easy to use.

Pros & Cons

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

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

Large capacity bottle for long bike rides. Very good outlet that allows you to drink water quickly.

Pros & Cons

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

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

Very fine material soft and light

Pros & Cons

Fits my bike well, convenient size

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

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

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

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

Best water bottle, have several.

Pros & Cons

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

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

Comfort and lightness, it adapts better than others to the bottle cage of the brand facilitating the extraction.

Pros & Cons

Light weight and bpa free, nice design water bottle. Happy with it!

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

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

Light and ergonomic bottle. 100% recomendable

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

Have more of this type of water bottle, super.

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

My previous water bottles from Elite were, after 7 years, in need of replacement. Obviously chose Elite again, like them very much. But these look like they are a year old after only 1 use. The print is almost gone. The plastic is also thinner, I was also disappointed. I like the cap better than the Tacx cap. For still a bit of a setback.

Pros & Cons

Nice light water bottle but is a bit on the slippery side. Which made the bottle fly out of its holder at the first real bump.

Pros & Cons

A little light on thickness for mountain biking.

Pros & Cons

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

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

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

Everything okay

Pros & Cons

Fine light water bottle that you drink easily from. Nice drinking cap too. I like it better than the Tacx caps. I left the bottle empty in the sun on the windowsill. The heat caused the bottle to deform slightly. Made a small dent in it.

Pros & Cons

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

Pros & Cons

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

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

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

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

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

Erg fijne bidon, drinkt makkelijk door goeie dop. Beschadigd wel erg snel waardoor hij al na een paar keer gebruiken oud lijkt

Pros & Cons

Personally find these very nice water bottles to use. Super light, nice looking and sit super in the Elite bottle cages. Disadvantage, they do get wear spots very quickly. And available in a wide range of colors and sizes.

Pros & Cons

Matches my expectation. Good to squeeze and get a good amount of drink in.

Pros & Cons

The flexible material and light weight makes this water bottle somewhat unique. I have two of 500ml that I take with me on the shorter evening trips.

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

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

Fine light water bottles which have a good solid cap!

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

Easy drinking due to the soft material.

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

Pros & Cons

I only use this type of water bottle because of the convenience of the mouthpiece

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

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

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

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.

Pros & Cons

Been using these for a while now and they are the lightest bottles I have found. They do last pretty long too which is good.

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

Pros & Cons

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

Pros & Cons

Lightweight water bottle. Dents a bit in your water bottle cage so it scratches quickly.

Pros & Cons

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

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

Very nice to use, good flow without too much effort by squeezing or sucking, and stay fresh

Pros & Cons

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