Trying out the lightest cycling water bottles on the market - Elite FLY and ICE FLY Review HD

In today’s review, we’ll be looking at the Elite FLY water bottles as well as the insulated Elite ICE FLY bottle. Although Elite is better known for their impressive bicycle trainers, the FLY bottles are used by a number of professional cycling teams world wide. They are well known for the light weight, easy modulation and cool designs.Claimed to be the lightest 550 and 750 ml bottles available worldwide, we weighed them in at a feathery 54/58 grams respectively. The ICE FLY weighed in at a heavier 124 grams but has a spout cover and is insulated to keep upto 500 ml of fluid cool on warmer days. While you can’t buy premium light weight cycling water yet, you can satisfy your inner weight-weenie and shed some grams using the Elite FLY bottles. We tried two standard FLY bottles - the 550 and 750ml size variations, as well as a 500ml insulated ICE FLY with the simple logo design. These bottles are visually unadorned and have a logo on on one side and the bottle name printed on the other. The accent and valve color on the bottle match each other for a sleek look. Form factor-wise, the bottles have the standard 74mm diameter and a slight narrowing near the cap. The taller 750ml bottle as well as the ICE FLY also have a short inset ring near the upper portion of the bottle for improved grip. The ICE FLY bottle differs from the standard bottles with a dual wall design and a geometric faceted surface to further improve the grip. Overall, the Elite FLY bottles are affordable and sleek bottles. The lightweight and thin bottles are easy to grip and squeeze as well. We did find the exterior of the bottles showed wear and tear after a few rides though. Although the few grams you save with the FLY bottles may not give you a new PR on your local climb, with a variety of designs and color schemes, you can easily match these to your ride for extra style points. ~ 00:00 Intro 00:13 Unboxing + Weigh-in 01:52 Fit and Finish 05:10 Comparison 06:42 Final Score ~ Visit Our Website - https://thesweetcyclists.com/elite-fly-and-ice-fly-water-bottles/ Follow Us On Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thesweetcyclists ~ Todson Website - https://www.todson.com/collections/elite/bottles
