Description

With the overwhelming number of triathlon hydration systems designed to provide around 20 to 24 oz, the fact that the FC System offers a 35 oz model is a significant upgrade. This is likely in part due to the fact that, aside from being made of carbon fiber, the mounting hardware is extremely light as well. Moreover, this frame mounted hydration system is also easy to install. Example of Elite Chrono aero water bottle and cage system How many watts does an aero water bottle save?

Frame – The frame is one of the few mounts to use both the cage and the contained types of hydration systems. Most of the frame mounted hydration systems are the cage type, but there are a few contained types to go along with them too. The frame has some distinct advantages over the other types with the main one being that it is far less likely to be damaged during a crash or fall than the other types. When it comes to frame mounted aero water bottle, XLAB once again takes our top spot, though the competition is a bit more fierce. It can also be mounted in a variety of arrangements, though this hydration does not come with a cage. Rear Hydration Systems Rather than using aluminum alloy or carbon fiber like normal, XLAB opts for a Xenon nylon cage that is incredibly lightweight but also less durable. Placing it behind the saddle was best - 2.5w at 40kph and 1.1w at 30kph, and having it on the seat tube was 3.6w (40kph) and 1.6w (30kph) slower. It wasn't possible to fit the bottle between Jess' arms as it was so big!The biggest difference between the Mini Wing 105 and most of XLAB’s other rear mounted hydration systems comes down to materials. Aero bottles provide to some extent an aerodynamic advantage over a standard water bottle. It is a relatively low advantage, as water bottles being protected by the downtube do not generate much more drag than the frame of the bike. Still, the Torpedo Versa 200 makes room in an already crowded market by providing pretty much everything that the Torpedo Versa 500 does at a lower cost. Give and Take

Rear – This is a cage type of mount for the hydration system. The main benefit of this System is that it looks familiar to most of the bikers. This is because most of the bikes come with a rear cage, and thus it does not feel anything like new. The main problem with this rear mount is that it takes more time to use, and it also creates more vibration. The Nex-Gen ‘cage-less’ aero water bottle is the world’s first truly cage-less drink bottle designed to fit bicycle frames of all shapes and sizes with potential to reduce overall weight and significantly enhanced aerodynamic features resulting in less drag.The weight of the hydration system is also a significant factor to consider while buying. You have to choose the right weight according to the needs of your body. Choosing an inadequate hydration system will not be worth spending money as it will not fulfil the desired task. On the other hand, selecting a heavyweight system will consume your more energy that can put effects on your race. Thus, choose the weight carefully by considering all the essential factors. This allows you to get a great price on a carbon fiber cage mounted to the frame, though it is not especially secure or durable. Reasonably Decent The way that XLABs is able to keep a near clone of their flagship hydration system at such a low price is by using a nylon cage.

It has been hard work finding an aero water bottle. My first one kept falling out, which makes it no good. I’ve recently bought an X-Lab Aero TT bottle, which hopefully will stay put, and save the odd couple of watts. Specialized S-Works Aero Water Bottle Orbea’s testing showed the relationship between adding weight to a bike, versus the extra power required to overcome that additional mass on various gradients. Orbea XLAB is the other company primarily known for manufacturing hydration systems which can be found in numerous Winner’s Circles from a wide variety of different triathlons. Finally, this hydration system maximizes its design with an aerodynamic profile as well as a non-slip grip. Step 2: Is the precision built in clip. This, in combination with our O-ring provides us with a much more solid hold. This is recommended for off-road use.Tests by Cervelo suggest that a water bottle was of significance. Removing a water bottle saved 2.8% at 250watts, removing an aero bottle saved 1.6%. 1% of 250 watts, is roughly 2.5 watts, which sounds feasible. UCI Regulations Carbon fiber is great for hydration cages because not only is it incredibly lightweight, but it is also incredibly strong for its weight. Custom 66 mm carbon racing rage weighs only 20 grams, contributing to a total system weight of just 70 grams As it stands, we feel that it is the best all-around value, assuming you already have a cage and mount. Cage – This is a straightforward hydration system to use, and it can hold any liquid in it. This cage system does not aid the transfer of water in any way as it does not come with any automatic way of distribution. The main advantage of this cage system is that it is effortless to refill. The main issue with this System is that it does not hold the bottle securely.

Torpedo – This is a contained system, and a type of modified front mounted hydration system. The main benefit of this mount is that there is no need to carry and hold the bottle to drink water. You can sip the water through its extended feeder tube. The only trouble with this mount is that it takes more time to refill and the feeder tube can also cause leakage. Arguably the best quality of the Gorilla XT is the fact that it is made of carbon fiber, though this comes with some caveats too.So long as you do not crash or have to ride over rougher terrain, the Wiel should work out wonderfully. A 500ml round bottle is very common especially in triathlon events where you may get a bottle handup from an aid station. A smaller bottle like this can also be placed in multiple locations around the bike. In this test we found that the worst place to keep a 500ml round bottle was one of the more convenient: on the downtube! This cost 5.0w at 40kph, or 2.1w at 30kph. Over an Ironman bike leg at 5hr30min speed (32.7kph) this would be a 2min5sec penalty. One of the biggest selling points of many rear mounted hydration systems is their ability to accommodate multiple bottles. For one, this hydration system can support up to 2 bottles but is just as effective and aerodynamic when supporting only one.
