Product Information

Profile Designs makes another appearance on our list, but this time it is for those racers who need more hydration than most. Still, the Torpedo Versa 200 makes room in an already crowded market by providing pretty much everything that the Torpedo Versa 500 does at a lower cost. Give and Take That said, we actually think this is a better practice bike frame mount rather than a competition-worthy option. Finally, this hydration system maximizes its design with an aerodynamic profile as well as a non-slip grip. Rear – This is the original mounting position for bike fueling systems and is almost always a cage type of hydration system. This is mostly due to the fact that snaking a feeder tube along the entire length of the bike is not an efficient design.

The hydration system tested in the study is similar to Profile Designs Aqualite drinking system for aero bars, which has been developed specifically for triathletes. This hydration system also features a low profile which makes it more aerodynamic, but it also leaves it less secure when riding over rough terrain. One of the more frustrating qualities of a front mounted torpedo position hydration system is that the feeder tube never wants to stay put.

Rather than using aluminum alloy or carbon fiber like normal, XLAB opts for a Xenon nylon cage that is incredibly lightweight but also less durable.

On top of that, a frame mounted hydration system is within easy reach for a cage type and is easier to refill for the contained type of hydration system. This type also suffers less destabilization than a rear mounted hydration system but more vibration that a front mounted hydration system.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 For one, it has an aerodynamic design that reduces drag, though it is not quite as effective as XLABs or Profile Designs in this way. Still, the Speedfil A2 does allow for Garmin integration which definitely puts it in the “serious contender” market. Now, I find myself thinking of bottles. It seems to me that there's only two options here: either I get 2 standard/ww bottle cages, or I go for the Elite Crono CX bottles. There may be other options, but either they're not very popular, or I just didn't find them.

For one, this hydration system can support up to 2 bottles but is just as effective and aerodynamic when supporting only one.

This allows you to get a great price on a carbon fiber cage mounted to the frame, though it is not especially secure or durable. Reasonably Decent In comparison with a 500mL standard bottle fixed on the downtube, you can have the following time gains over the length of an ironman distance: Rank

This is great in case you want to keep your hydration and your nutrition separate, or if you prefer to have a bottle for cooling off mid-race. The type of a triathlon hydration system is more a matter of personal preference than it is a do or die situation. For those of you who do not want to have to squeeze extra hard while riding, the RZ2 comes with a bottle that is much easier to squeeze than some.

It has been hard work finding an aero water bottle. My first one kept falling out, which makes it no good. I’ve recently bought an X-Lab Aero TT bottle, which hopefully will stay put, and save the odd couple of watts. Specialized S-Works Aero Water Bottle The biggest difference between the Mini Wing 105 and most of XLAB’s other rear mounted hydration systems comes down to materials. Carbon fiber is great for hydration cages because not only is it incredibly lightweight, but it is also incredibly strong for its weight. For most people, there is no point in buying an aero bottle. It only provides a marginal gain while making hydration more complicated. It can even prevent you from refilling. If you are a fast cyclist (25mph or 40km/h average speed) it can give the extra gain you need to cross the finish line first! The other issue is that this is a fairly heavy rear mount which will inherently increase your racing time. However, this is still the best budget rear mount that we saw with plenty of options.
