Fidlock Twist Bottle and Bike Base 600ml (TBL)

Product Information

The bottle itself comes in cool looking clear smoked plastic. Made of dishwasher safe polypropylene and 600ml in size, it’s pleasingly free of the chemical taste that can mar some bottles. Hover the bottle directly above the the mount and magnetism does the work of aligning and syncing the two. Pulled together, there’s no need to be too precise in your placement. So, would I recommend the Restrap Mag Bottle? Other than from a purely subjective aesthetic standpoint cageless water bottles can appear a solution to a problem that had seemed pretty well solved. Freestyle: If you’ve got no eyelets on the bike for bottle cages (highly unlikely) or if the eyelets aren’t exactly where you’d like them to be, you can always go for a bottle cage that attaches to your bike using something similar to voile straps. Do bottle cages fit all the bikes? With an Arundel Mandible Carbon bottle cage, you might have to use 40% more force to get that bottle out, but you can rest assured as there’s no seismic force flinging your bottle out of the cage. You can still get it out when you need to though, with a firm but consistent release straight up or at a slightly sideways angle, and the open mouth makes it easy to relocate your bottle if you’ve got tight frame clearances to work with, you can always go for the option of a side-release cage.

Tell us what the product is for, and who it's aimed at. What do the manufacturers say about it? How does that compare to your own feelings about it? Primarily a bag maker, Restrap is hoping you’ll jam one of its frame bags inside the main triangle of your bike. However, if you decide to do so you’ll suddenly find the exit trajectory of a standard water bottle boxed in. Sammy Johnson, VACUUM case Best bottle attachment system available.

4. Best for Hot Drinks: Topeak Modula Java Cage

Perhaps its closest direct competitor is Fabric’s Cageless Bottle. Eschewing magnets, this simple push-on/pull-off bottle relies on studs that fit the base of the bottle and attach above the frame bosses. Simply hold the bottle near the magnetic holder, and it will snap firmly into place. To remove, twist it away from the holder and it will come free. As the bottle can only be disengaged in a twisting motion it's impossible for the bottle to get ejected on even the roughest descents. Side loading: This kind of bottle cage allows for easier access to your bottle, especially when you don’t have a lot of frame space. The bottle twist was espacially engineered to do away with conventional bottle cages, to take up a little space on the bike frame as possible. Thanks to its minimalistic design, the Bottle Twist can fit even the tighest bike frame and can be positioned on any part of the frame, from the crossbar to the saddle bar; which ever point is most conventient for the user.

H.M., TWIST bottle system I just got this Hermetic bag, and went camping last weekend where we crossed streams and it was great to have my iPhone safe and dry. This is a must have for beach, mtn biking, boating, camping etc. We’re cyclists as well as writers and when we aren’t riding bikes for work, we’re riding bikes in our free time too. We are as mad about everything bike-related as you are – maybe even more – and are here to give you our honest opinions and technical input. As far as mountain biking is concerned, you’re going to want to use bottle cages that your water bottles don’t fly out of the minute you hit the rough stuff.and 450ml bottles feature an updated ergonomic design, easy-squeeze thanks to a softer material and a new high flow bottle cap with a self-sealing and leak-proof valve and optional dirt cover. If you’re a speed enthusiast and keeping your bike as light as possible is a priority, a carbon or lightweight polymer cage will help you shave off those extra grams.

The twist and pull motion also prevents potentially painful encounters with the top tube and, for me at least, felt less exaggerated than Lezyne's likeable side-entry Flow. This was taken before the bottle was lost. Quite a bit of grime accumulated beforehand. Photo by Matt Miller.
