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

Beautiful water bottle, cannot be put in dishwasher (max 40 degrees!)
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.

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

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
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.

After a few uses not so nice anymore.
Nice water bottle but scratches very fast. So is quickly ugly.
Pros & Cons

Light, but too soft
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

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

Good products
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

Wears out quickly.
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.

Fine thing but a little too slippery for my holders
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.

Overall, a good product for the road.
A little light on thickness for mountain biking.

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.
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.

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.

Good water bottles for a soft price!
Fine light water bottles which have a good solid cap!
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.

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.

Super water bottles for groomed riders
The pros use these water bottles for a reason. If you want good water bottles, light and not vacuum pulling, these are the ones to have.

My choice
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.

Fine water bottle that drinks well
Fine water bottle. Drinks easily and is easy to squeeze. Thereby, a lot of water/sports drink comes through the drinking spout.
Pros & Cons
4 / 5
Good, but color fades
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.

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.
Pros & Cons
4 / 5
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.
Pros & Cons
4 / 5
Practical water bottle, good to keep clean
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.

One of the best water bottles you can get
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.

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

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, 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.

Fine light water bottle
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.

Practical lightweight water bottles.
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.

No other water bottle for me anymore
Since using these water bottles I finally drink enough. Just because you automatically take bigger sips than with other water bottles. Also nice is that your sports drink doesn't run down your down tube. Cap and valve close well

Lightweight, easy-to-use canister.
Easy to use, it looks like it's going to fly off at the first bump in the road, but despite its lack of rigidity it holds up well on the bottle cage.

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.

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.
