Bidon Fly Tex 950 ml Black

Elite Bidon Fly Tex 950 ml – Black

The Elite Bidon Fly Tex 950 ml in Black is the benchmark among cycling water bottles and is used by WorldTour teams. With a capacity of 950 ml, the bottle weighs just 68 g, setting new standards in lightweight design for road, gravel and MTB. The new Tex surface provides noticeably better grip, even with wet gloves or when things get rough. The ergonomic push-pull cap with a 20% larger opening delivers a very high flow rate with minimal pressure. Thanks to its standard 74 mm diameter, it fits most bottle cages and stays securely in place thanks to its compact, bike-optimised design. Made from BPA-free, recyclable materials and designed for cold drinks up to 40 °C, the Fly Tex combines performance with responsible material use.

Technical Details and Features

The Fly Tex is built for maximum efficiency on the bike: compared to the market average, it uses 30% less plastic, without compromising on sealing or durability. The 54 mm wide filling opening makes it easy to mix drinks and, combined with the high-flow valve, significantly increases flow performance thanks to the larger cross-section. A subtle indent on the upper bottle body improves stability in the bottle cage, especially at speed or on rough terrain. In the 950 ml version, it weighs just 68 g and measures 267 mm in height; the 74 mm diameter fits standard bottle cages on road, gravel or MTB frames. All components are made from food-safe, BPA-free plastics and can be processed through standard recycling streams. Recommended for use with cold liquids up to 40 °C.

Applications and Benefits

The generous 950 ml capacity is ideal for long summer rides, alpine passes or marathon MTB stages with few feed stations. The very soft bottle allows controlled sips even when out of the saddle, while the Tex surface sits reliably in your hand. The compact, bike-optimised design makes it easy to grab and replace even in tight spaces, such as on gravel or full-suspension MTB frames. If you're riding off-road, you can pair the bottle with the separately available protective cap (Fly Tex MTB) to shield the valve from dust and mud. The fact that the Fly range is among the favourite bottles of weight-conscious riders and is available in multiple sizes and colours is confirmed by independent expert reviews. The Elite Fly is consistently rated as exceptionally light, easy to use and offering high flow – perfect for ambitious riders across Switzerland.

Care and Materials

For hygienic cleaning, the Fly Tex can be fully disassembled: the body, cap and valve can each be dried and cleaned separately. The wide opening (54 mm) makes it easy to fill with water or powder and to rinse out after your ride. All materials used are food-safe, BPA-free and comply with FDA and CE guidelines, ensuring a neutral taste and safe use. The bottle is designed for cold drinks up to 40 °C; hot liquids should be avoided. Thanks to recyclable plastics, caring for your bottle goes hand in hand with responsible use of resources.

Sustainability and Design Philosophy

Elite systematically reduces excess material in the Fly concept – resulting in very lightweight bottles with a noticeably lower plastic footprint. The Fly Tex uses on average 30% less plastic than standard sports bottles on the market, while remaining robust, leak-proof and ready for everyday use. The result is an iconic cycling water bottle that's just as at home in the professional peloton as it is on your after-work ride around Lake Zurich, up the Uetliberg or through the Furka passes in summer. The clearly bike-optimised shape improves handling in the cage, while the Tex surface enhances grip in any weather. The Fly Tex brings together performance, feel and resource efficiency in one modern package.
