So as you move the bike, the insert changes with it.”

  • Slender Bottle Shape – Designed to fit in your backpack pocket, but versatile enough for everyday use – fits in most cup holders
  • Bail Handle – Flexible TPU bail handle is comfortable to carry lightweight and nearly indestructible
  • *Recycled content is achieved through the allocation of third-party recycled plastic using a mass balance method.
