Bidon Fly Tex 750 ml black

Elite Bidon Fly Tex 750 ml – black

The Elite Fly Tex in 750 ml is a water bottle for cyclists who want to combine low weight, quick handling and reliable leak-proofness. Its textured Tex-Grip ensures a secure hold even in rain or with gloves, while the soft bottle body delivers a strong flow with minimal pressure. Thanks to its universal 74‑mm diameter, the bottle fits standard bottle cages and stays securely in place due to the shaping indent at the neck. Made with around 30% less plastic than the market average, the Fly‑Tex series is one of the lightest solutions in cycling and is widely used by WorldTour teams.

Technical Details and Features

The bottle is made from a lightweight blend of PP and plastomer; the cap is made from PP, the valve from TPE/PP – all BPA‑free and suitable for recycling. The opening is widened to 54 mm and, combined with the Push‑Pull valve, optimised for high flow, making quick, controlled drinking during competition easy. At 57 g (750 ml), the Fly‑Tex variant ranks among the lightest bottles in the world; this is achieved through a material-reduced construction using around 30% less plastic. The 74‑mm diameter fits standard cages, and an indent near the bottle neck improves retention in the cage on rough terrain. Use with cold drinks is recommended, and the maximum liquid temperature is 40 °C.

Applications and Benefits

Whether on road, MTB or gravel around the Swiss mountain passes – the compact Fly Tex can be easily inserted and removed even in smaller frames. The soft bottle body delivers a high flow rate quickly on long climbs or intervals, without requiring much effort. The grippy Tex surface stays secure in your hand even in rain or with sweaty palms, making drinking in technical terrain easier. Thanks to the standardised 74‑mm diameter, the bottle works with common cages on road bikes, trail hardtails or commuter bikes. If you frequently ride in muddy conditions, you can grab the compatible Fly Tex MTB protective cap to shield the valve from dust and mud.

Care and Hygiene

To keep your bottle in great shape for longer, we recommend washing it by hand with lukewarm water and mild washing-up liquid – please keep it below 40 °C to protect the material and seal. The cap can be fully disassembled for thorough cleaning, making it easy to remove residue from sports drinks. After washing, leave the bottle open to dry so no odours develop; the food-safe material is naturally odour‑ and taste‑neutral. If needed, replacing the valve or cap is straightforward, which extends the product's lifespan and reduces waste. This easy-care design makes the Fly Tex a practical, everyday choice for training and racing alike.

Extra: Lightweight Design with Real-World Benefits

The Fly series regularly features in tests and top lists as a weight-saving tip, which is especially valuable on long alpine rides or marathon events. The very soft bottle body makes dosing on the go precise, without the bottle rattling in the cage. At the same time, the body remains sufficiently shape-stable so the bottle sits securely in both carbon and plastic cages. The result is a well-rounded combination of minimal weight, quick handling and reliable leak-proofness – developed for the race environment and everyday rides in Switzerland.
