Technical Details and Features

The 550 ml version measures a compact 184.5 mm in height and weighs just 51 g. All materials are BPA-free, food-safe (FDA/CE) and fully recyclable. Use with cold liquids is recommended, with a maximum temperature of 40 °C.

Applications and Benefits

The Fly Tex comes into its own wherever low weight, fast drinking and secure handling matter. On the road bike, you'll appreciate the ultra-light squeeze body that makes mid-ride fuelling and drinking stops virtually effortless. On gravel and MTB trails, the textured surface ensures a reliable grip, while the compact design fits neatly even in smaller frame triangles. The high flow rate lets you drink in a controlled way without exerting much force – particularly welcome during intense intervals. Because the bottle is widely used by professionals, you're getting a product that's been proven in real-world conditions. At the same time, it stays practical for everyday use: neutral in taste, easy to clean and durable enough to handle many weeks of training.

Care and Sustainability

For maximum hygiene, the bottle can be fully disassembled – body, cap and valve can be cleaned separately and dried thoroughly. The generous opening makes it easy to remove residue from powdered drinks; rinsing with lukewarm water works best, as the recommended maximum temperature is 40 °C. The Fly Tex follows an eco-design approach: it's manufactured using around 30% less plastic than conventional bottles, without compromising on seal integrity or durability. The plastics used are BPA-free and fully recyclable, making it a considered choice for high-volume training seasons. That way you combine performance with responsible material use – ideal for long summer training blocks and the daily commute alike.
