Ideal for road, gravel and MTB riders who want a very light 550 ml bottle that fits standard cages and delivers plenty of fluid with a light squeeze.
The Elite Fly Team 550 ml is built for riders who want low weight, quick access to fluids and reliable bottle-cage security. At just 51 g, it keeps your bike light while the compact 550 ml format works well on sloping frames, bikes with tight clearance and two-bottle setups. It fits traditional 74 mm bottle cages, and real-world use has shown the Fly holding securely while remaining easy to insert and remove.
The soft, squeezable polypropylene body responds to light hand pressure, while the large push-pull valve produces a generous stream when you need to drink quickly. The textured grip surface gives you more confidence when handling the bottle on rough roads or during hard efforts, and the upper-body recess helps keep it stable in the cage.
The 54 mm opening makes filling with water or powdered supplements simpler and helps with cleaning. The cap and valve can be fully disassembled for thorough washing, while the BPA-free, odourless construction is designed to keep your drink tasting clean. With approximately 30% less plastic than most standard sports bottles, the Fly Team is a lightweight everyday option with a clear racing focus.
