Elite Fly Team: Lightest Racing Bottle- Rodalink

In pro cycling, hydration is performance. During a single Grand Tour stage, a rider can consume up to 18 bottles to maintain optimal output.

Even a 2% drop in body fluids can lead to a 20% decline in performance, a margin wide enough to lose a race. That’s why elite cyclists and their soigneurs treat hydration strategy with the same precision as their race tactics.

And when it comes to choosing the best hydration tool, they turn to a proven icon: the Fly Team. Engineered by Elite, this ultralight bidon has become the most used sports bottle in the WorldTour, trusted by the fastest riders in the peloton, including Tadej Pogačar, the latest winner of the Giro d’Italia, Tour de France, and Strade Bianche.

In this article, we’ll break down why the Fly Team Elite bottle has become the #1 choice for champions and how you can use it to upgrade your own ride.

Key Features of Fly Team

What makes the Fly Team more than just a water bottle? It’s a performance tool—engineered with precision and trusted by the fastest riders on the planet. Designed and manufactured in Italy by Elite, the Fly Team is the most-used bottle across the WorldTour peloton for a reason.

Ultra-Lightweight Design

The Fly Team stands as the lightest sports bottle ever created, weighing just 51 grams (550ml variant). This isn’t just a weight-saving gimmick—it’s a meaningful reduction that supports pro riders looking to minimize every gram on race day.

By trimming bottle weight without sacrificing capacity or durability, Fly Team contributes directly to a bike’s overall efficiency.

Extreme Liquid Delivery

When seconds count, hydration should be instant and effortless. The Fly Team features a high-flow valve system that delivers more liquid with less pressure.

Combined with its soft, squeezable body, the bottle ensures maximum fluid output with minimal effort—ideal for fast sips during high-intensity moments.

Less Material, More Performance

Thanks to thinner walls and an optimized structure, Fly Team bottles use significantly less plastic material than traditional models, making them not only lighter but also more sustainable.

Every curve, cut, and surface is designed to enhance grip, squeeze performance, and overall usability while reducing environmental impact.

Innovative Material Composition

Constructed from odorless, BPA-free, and soft plastic materials, the Fly Team is made to meet the strictest European regulations for food safety.

The bottle’s material composition improves squeeze-ability, even at high speeds or in cold conditions, and ensures a neutral taste experience, so athletes get only pure hydration, not plastic flavor.

Fly Team Sponsors WorldTour Pro Cycling Teams

The Fly Team bottle isn’t just popular, it’s the go-to choice for many of the top-performing teams in the WorldTour. From stage wins to Grand Tour podiums, this bottle plays a small but crucial role in powering world-class performances.

Trusted by champions, available to all riders—you can get the same bottle at Rodalink Singapore.
