Elite Bidon Fly Tex 750 ml transparent

The Elite Bidon Fly Tex in 750 ml is the iconic cycling water bottle for training and racing – widely used throughout the WorldTour. Weighing just 57 g in the 750 ml version, it's one of the lightest bottles around, and the textured Tex surface gives you a secure grip in hand. The soft bottle body compresses effortlessly, delivering a fast, powerful flow through the push-pull cap. An opening approximately 20% larger than standard makes filling with drink mix easy and ensures high flow on the bike. The compact 74 mm standard diameter fits virtually any bottle cage, even on smaller frames. Produced with an average of 30% less plastic, BPA-free and recyclable, the Fly Tex combines performance with responsible design.

Technical Details and Features

The 750 ml version measures 225.5 mm in height and remains a remarkably light 57 g. The body made from PP + plastomer, the cap from PP, and the valve from TPE + PP are designed for durability and taste neutrality. The push-pull cap features an opening approximately 20% larger than standard; the bottle neck measures 54 mm, so powder pours in cleanly and cleaning is easier. The bottle diameter of 74 mm fits practically any cage on a road bike, gravel bike, or MTB. For maintenance: fill with liquids up to 40 °C; after your ride, the cap can be fully disassembled for thorough cleaning. The variable wall thickness design makes the bottle particularly soft and enables high flow with minimal pressure.

Applications and Benefits

Whether it's a long endurance ride, fast alpine passes, or rough trail laps – the Fly Tex delivers wherever you take it. The compact format makes it easy to grab from tight frame triangles, while the Tex texture provides a secure hold even with gloves. Thanks to the 74 mm standard diameter, the bottle sits securely in the cage – ideal for road, MTB, and gravel. The soft body means you can drink quickly and in a controlled way even at high intensity, without taking your eyes off the road. If you're regularly riding in muddy conditions, you can add the separately available protective cap from the Fly Tex MTB to better shield the valve from dust and spray.

Care, Hygiene and Sustainability

For everyday use, hygiene matters: the Fly Tex is BPA-free, food-safe to FDA and CE standards, and made from fully recyclable materials. The wide 54 mm opening and the disassemblable cap make it easy to rinse out sports drinks and dry the bottle after your ride. To maximise the bottle's lifespan, keep to the maximum temperature of 40 °C when filling and cleaning. Because Elite uses an average of around 30% less plastic in the Fly range, you benefit from lower weight and a more resource-efficient design. Independent specialist media regularly cite the Fly as a benchmark for particularly lightweight bidons in cycling. The result is a bottle that's practical for everyday use, high-performing, and well-suited to Swiss conditions – from after-work rides to marathon events.

"after only a few rides the water bottles showed some significant scratches.','context':'Durability observation after riding'},{"

The reviewer finds the Elite FLY and ICE FLY water bottles affordable, lightweight, and easy to squeeze and clean, with a high-flow valve. The bottles show visible scratches after only a few rides, and the push-pull valve is not self-sealing, so they can leak if upside down or opened.

"I've been using Elite Fly Tex bottles as my primary choice for six years, and it's not just because they're among the lightest cycling bottles on the market.','context':'Reviewer's experience and reason for use"

The reviewer has used Elite Fly Tex bottles for six years and praises their very low weight, full disassembly for cleaning, and easy nozzle drinking. Drawbacks include a soft material, a cap that is hard to open with wet hands, leaking around the cap over time, and a cap that cannot be bought separately. Despite these issues, the reviewer continues to recommend the transparent version and keeps using them.
