The new Elite Fly water bottle comes in at a claimed 54g, which chops about 30g off the weight of a standard water bottle, yet fits into any standard bottle cage. But you wouldn’t want to weigh it down with a “standard” bottle cage, now would you? No. So they’ve also created the 23g Vico carbon composite bottle cage to create a pairing that still weighs less than a typical bottle…
The bottles retail for $7.99 and the cages for $39.99, both relatively fair prices for products at that weight. The bottle uses an “innovative plastic material” in the body, which is where most of the weight savings appear to come from, and gets a polypropylene lid with oversized silicone spout. It’ll hold 550ml (18.5oz) and is available in black or white.
The Vico cage is available in gloss or matte black and has a familiar looking Elite bottle cage shape, but shaves grams by optimizing material thicknesses throughout but retains the bottle well. So, no more reason to just pour a couple ounces out to save those grams. Unless you want to save more grams.
