KILOMETRO Water Bottle 550 ml

The KILOMETRO Water Bottle with 550 ml is the practical companion for training, commuting and weekend rides in Switzerland. Thanks to its compact size, the Bidon fits well into tight frame triangles and can also be gripped easily on smaller frames. The 550-ml class is considered by cyclists a versatile choice for short to medium distances because it offers a good balance of weight, space requirement and fluid supply. This corresponds to common recommendations for bottle size in cycling and makes planning your Hydration on road bike, Gravel or in everyday riding easier.

• Volume: 550 ml for training, everyday use and indoor sessions
• Slim shape for standard bottle cages on the bike
• Handy size for tight frame triangles and aero setups
• Neutral design, matching various setups and frame colors

Technical details and functions

The 550-ml format is designed for the standard of modern bottle cages that are built for bidons with the typical 73–74-mm diameter. This ensures the bottle sits securely in the cage while still allowing quick removal, which is particularly helpful on Swiss mountain passes or stop‑and‑go city traffic. The compact height also improves reachability without colliding with top-tube bags or tightly routed cables. Overall, you get balanced handling that performs well on road bike, gravel bike and commuter.

Applications and benefits

On road bike rides around Lake Zurich, on gravel paths in the Mittelland or during the daily commute, the 550-ml size shows its strengths. It provides enough capacity for intervals, coffee rides or indoor workouts without carrying unnecessary weight or volume. Riders in the mountains can combine it with a second bidon depending on the frame or plan short stops at fountains, as found in many Swiss municipalities. That way you stay flexible, well supplied and save space on the bike.

Additional care and usage tips: Rinse the Bidon promptly after rides with sports drinks and clean it regularly to maintain taste and hygiene. Plan your fluid intake according to the intensity, temperature and duration of your ride; in heat or on long climbs a second bottle can be sensible. Make sure the bottle cage holds the bidon securely and that you can pull it out easily with one hand. These simple routines extend the lifespan of your bottle and make refuelling on the go easier.
