Features and Benefits

“Use standard water bottle mounted horizontally on the aerobars for most aero additional hydration”… states leading Engineering led bicycle manufacturer.

Specially designed by XLAB to be light and aerodynamic.

Perfect with XLAB AQUA-SHOT bottle for Sprint Tris or 20km TT’s or even Ironman races.

Add XLAB AERO TT bottle and cage for Olympic Tris or 40km TT’s.

Taking a drink from an XLAB AQUA-SHOT once every 15 minutes is faster than the drag (as much as 50 grams) from a 3/8 dia (10 mm.) straw for the whole bike split. The drag from a front “aero” bottle is considerably more as it has nearly 3x the frontal area.

Use on 70.3 or Ironman races to eliminate huge drag from front vertical bottles and straws.
