Product Description
This bottle platform started as a project to shave weight for pro cyclists racing in Europe. An Italian design, produced in Croatia, it employs a sophisticated technique that reinforces its top and bottom while significantly thinning the sides. The one thing the original smooth-sided build never solved was grip, and a slick bottle in a sweaty hand is how bidons end up on the road.
The Elite Fly Tex Bottle keeps it's place as one of the lightest bottles in the world while reinforcing it's a race-day ready. The Fly Tex adds a textured exterior so a hard squeeze holds even in the most pressure-filled moments.
Sweat-Proof Grip – A textured surface across the body keeps the bottle locked in your hand on hot, sweaty, or rain-soaked rides so you are not chasing a slipping bidon out of the cage mid-ride.
Race Day Light – At 51 grams for the 550ml size it carries the same feather weight as a standard race bidon, so the added grip texture costs you nothing on the scale.
High Flow Cap – A push-pull valve with a mouth opening 20% wider than standard delivers a full stream on the first squeeze, even mid-effort.
More Colors — Choose from classic Navy, Fluro, Smoke, Pink, Black or Clear. All feature a minimalist "The Feed" logo with more color options.
That same construction cuts material use by roughly 30 percent compared to an average bottle on the market, which adds up to roughly 40 percent less weight and about 50 percent more flow than a standard bottle. The body and cap fully separate for cleaning, and everything is BPA-free and recyclable. A universal 74mm diameter means it drops into any standard cage, including tighter frames on gravel and MTB builds.

The Feed Elite Fly Tex Bottle FAQ's
Everything you need to know before getting started.
Anytime grip matters most, like hot rides, humid conditions, or rainy commutes where sweaty or wet hands make a smooth bottle harder to hold and squeeze.
The 550ml size weighs 51 grams, the 750ml weighs 57 grams, and the 950ml weighs 68 grams.
It is designed for cold fluids and rated up to a maximum liquid temperature of 40°C, so stick to cold water or drink mix rather than hot liquids.
Yes, on the top rack. Washing it at high temperatures can warp or damage the plastic body, though. The body and cap fully separate, and pulling the nozzle off makes it easy to reach the inside. Bottle Bright is recommended for a deeper clean between dishwasher runs.
