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**.

## 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.
