Elite Crono CX aero bottle kit includes fiberglass cage and 500 ml aero bottle

Product Information

The final piece of the ‘aerodynamic, fully-integrated, one-complete-system’ jigsaw is the specification of the all-new SuperSix EVO’s wheelsets. Both of the two Hi-Mod bikes feature Cannondale’s HollowGram 50 R-SL wheelsets developed alongside the SuperSix EVO and shaped by their DRAFT aero design philosophy. These super-aero wheels feature a 50mm deep, low-drag rim, bladed spokes and DT-Swiss 240 EXP rear hub internals, making it the perfect wheel for the EVO’s modus operandi – superlight to fly up the hills but with undisputable velocity-maintaining aerodynamics. It can also be mounted in a variety of arrangements, though this hydration does not come with a cage. Rear Hydration Systems This is likely in part due to the fact that, aside from being made of carbon fiber, the mounting hardware is extremely light as well. Moreover, this frame mounted hydration system is also easy to install. Time gain per type of hydration system over the length of an Ironman distance in comparison with standard 500mL bottle fixed on the downtube

Profile Designs seems far more interested in front mounting hydration systems and merely pay lip-service to the rear mounted market. The new Delta steerer tube design allows for seamless integration of the bike’s cables while keeping the frontal area slim and aerodynamic. Let’s dig into the details. We will focus on the aerodynamic gains given by aero bottles but also by looking at different options for positioning the water bottles. We will see how much time you can gain and how many watts it can save. I will also review the regulations for triathlon and also for UCI road races about aero bottles. And finally, I will give you my honest opinion about buying aero bottles. How aerodynamic is a water bottle?

Tell us how tall you are, we'll help you find the right size.

In comparison with a 500mL standard bottle fixed on the downtube, the power you have to produce when riding can be reduced. Let’s see a comparison of the watts saved by different solutions for hydration on the bike: Rank Aero bottles are a great place to store concentrated nutrition. Swap to a standard cage for longer training rides. You do not want to choose a bike fueling system that is inadequate just to shave a few ounces off of your weight. On the other hand, you also do not want to add any unnecessary weight to sap even more of your energy during this endurance race. In this instance, it is more important that you identify how much, what type, and which mounting option your hydration system will use than its total weight. Conclusion A better location was the seat tube - only resulting in a 3.6w penalty at 40kph or 1.6w at 30kph (1min30sec over an IM bike leg).

The Nex-Gen ‘cage-less’ aero water bottle is the world’s first truly cage-less drink bottle designed to fit bicycle frames of all shapes and sizes with potential to reduce overall weight and significantly enhanced aerodynamic features resulting in less drag.

Carbon fiber is great for hydration cages because not only is it incredibly lightweight, but it is also incredibly strong for its weight. The way that XLABs is able to keep a near clone of their flagship hydration system at such a low price is by using a nylon cage.
