Speedfil A2 Bicycle Water Bottle, Between the Arms Hands-Free Hydration System with Refill Port

Excellent kit for my bike with many ways to mount (bought the bar mount as well). Also makes it easy to tape CO2 cartridges and gel packs to it. Love the Garmin clip on (required slight modification to work). Does not seem to work with other bottles very well, must use the one that it comes with. I was oping to use a larger one but did not have any luck. Refilling works quite well. The velcro holds the bottle in solid. Use a large rubber band to hold the straw in perfect position while riding.

The elbow joint/gasket that attaches to the bottle does not fit snugly and therefore is free to rotate around. It even came out on my during my ride. I ended up jury rigging it with electrical tape to keep it still and changing the straw tubing to a more flexible tube so I could lay it down when I wasn't drinking. Nice idea but crappy straw attachment system. I'll be going with the Xlab Torpedo 400 for my race instead of this garbage.

Works great on the tri bike, no trouble filling while on the bike for my most recent 70.3. Easy to clean as well.

Great drink solution for the Triathlete. Independent testing has also shown that the most aerodynamic way to carry hydration is between the aero arms in the aero bars. I gave 4 out of 5 stars because this product, though great, is not quite perfect. It does take out the equation of having to have a custom shaped bottle, and it does well in crosswinds, but the straw mechanism will not let you completely deplete the fluids inside of the bottle without adjustment.

It fits well/easy to access BUT....once you take one sip, the straw isn’t submerged in the water. Seems to only work well when it its totally full. Not efficient/you have the twist the straw in weird ways to get water. Not easy while riding.

It's okay. Does a better job than some other aero bottles at keeping fluid inside but it still leaks some. It's also heavy by itself even without fluid in it. More convenient than most other refillable alternatives being interchangeable with the collection of bottles we all have. Like i said, it leas a little but not as much as the others i've had.

Had bought one of these on E-bay in the spring and after 1 or 2 uses the thin gasket sealing ring in the cap broke rendering it useless as it constantly leaked. Rolled the dice on this one as I have a Full Ironman coming up and needed the ease of drinking on the fly. Very happy to see that the new one is much improved with the sealing area molded in a larger profile and in a more durable plastic. Mounts perfectly between the Aero bars for easy hydration.

Leaks! The elbow joint leaks, the straw leaks, the bite valve leaks. I had one for awhile and it leaked so badly it corroded my headset bearing. Bought a new setup and switched the mounting direction, and the new one leaks just as badly. I lost so much fluid on my ride and was a sticky mess. I have called and emailed and Facebook messaged this company asking for replacement parts or assistance and have received nothing at all in response. Poor customer service and a cheap product that I really wished worked. Love the way it’s mounted and the way it fills, just wish it didn’t leak. Ridiculous that they don’t even care to contact you back. Super angry!

Before acquiring this product I found it difficult to maintain pace and form on training rides when having to pause to take in water. This product fixed that problem by having water available without having to reach for bottles or change positions. Water whenever i needed was a big improvement. Some minor adjustments with the straps holding the bottle and to position and steady the tube position helped cutomize for my preferences. Also fits other bottle sizes so can be changed out. Happy with the product.

XLAB Torpedo Versa 200のボトルをレース中に落としてしまい、代替えにこちらを購入しました。 形状が普通のボトルと同じため、ボトルにドリンクや水を入れて持ち運びやすいです。 蓋は、スペシャライズドと同じ形状のため、スペシャの蓋を付けて持ち運んでいます。 Torpedoは独特のエアロ形状の為、別ボトルでドリンクを運ぶ必要があります。 トライアスロンのバイクセッティングでは、Speedfilの方が便利です。 Torpedoはストローを保持するステイがボトルについているので、ストローが邪魔になりませんが、 Speedfilは、これがありません。慣れれば気にならなくなりますが、結構邪魔になります。 ストローからの水漏れは、どちらも似たようなものですが、Speedfilの方が多い気がします。 とくに、ストローの先端からは、Speedfilはちょっとした段差のしょっくでも飛び散ります。 飲み口を前後することである程度調整できますが、それでも飛び散ります。 Torpedoの方が、Speedfilよりもややましで、ストローも吸いやすい形状です。 ボトルの注入口からの水漏れは、どちらも似たようなものですが、Speedfilの方が多いです。 一見しっかり蓋が締められるように見えますが、結構隙間が大きいのでよく漏れます。 Torpedoはバルブタイプと蓋タイプの二つが附属しますが、バルブタイプは数回使用すると駄々漏れです。 蓋タイプの方が簡便で漏れないと思いますので、お勧めです。 総合すると、Torpedpの方がいいと思います。

Used it 3 times now and everytime my bike is covered in the sticky liquid I drink because the bottle leaks in spite of being screwed in tight with both rubber rings….unfortunately can’t return it cause I’ve already cut the straws.
