Road riders and Tour fans who want a light, fast-flowing bottle with a bit of yellow jersey style.
The Fly Tex Maillot Jaune is part of the official Tour de France Maillot Jaune collection, made with Elite. It takes the Fly Tex, one of the most used bottles in the WorldTour, and dresses it in black with a yellow valve and yellow jersey graphics.
Underneath the looks it's all Fly: 550 ml in a bottle weighing just 51 g, a soft body that squeezes easily, and a push-pull valve that gives a quick, generous flow. The textured surface helps your grip when your hands are sweaty or gloved.
The 20% wider mouth makes filling and cleaning easy, and the cap unscrews and comes apart for a proper wash. At 74 mm across and 184.5 mm tall it fits standard cages and suits smaller frames too.

74 mm diameter and 184.5 mm tall, so it fits standard bottle cages and most frames. Pairs nicely with Elite's black Custom Race Plus cage from the same collection.
Keep it fresh
Unscrew the cap and pull the valve apart after each ride, rinse in warm soapy water and let it dry apart. It stops sports drink from leaving a film inside.
