The Elite Fly Tex is made from BPA-free, food-safe plastic. The material is odour-neutral and taste-neutral, meaning it won’t leach chemicals or absorb flavours even after extended use. It is safe for use with water, sports drinks, and electrolyte mixes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWhat is the Tex texture and why does it matter?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe “Tex” in Fly Tex refers to Elite’s new textured surface finish. Unlike smooth bottles that can slip from wet or gloved hands, the Tex surface features a fine grip pattern that significantly improves handling. This is especially useful during intense efforts when your hands are sweaty, or in wet weather conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eHow does the push-pull cap work?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe push-pull cap is a one-handed valve system. \u003cstrong\u003ePull\u003c\/strong\u003e the top of the cap upward to open the valve and drink. \u003cstrong\u003ePush\u003c\/strong\u003e it back down to close and seal the bottle. It requires no twisting or unscrewing, making it easy to operate while riding. The valve delivers a smooth, controlled flow — not too fast, not too slow.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWill this bottle fit my bike’s bottle cage?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Elite Fly Tex has a standard \u003cstrong\u003e74mm diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e, which is compatible with the vast majority of road, mountain, and gravel bike bottle cages. If your cage is designed for standard bottles, the Fly Tex will fit. Some very tight or very loose cages may not hold it securely — if in doubt, check your cage’s stated diameter range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCan I use this bottle with hot drinks?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. The Elite Fly Tex is designed for \u003cstrong\u003ecold or room-temperature beverages only\u003c\/strong\u003e. It is not insulated and is not suitable for hot liquids. For hot drinks on the bike, you would need a dedicated insulated bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eIs this bottle dishwasher safe?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eElite recommends \u003cstrong\u003ehand washing\u003c\/strong\u003e the Fly Tex with warm water and mild soap. While the plastic is durable, repeated dishwasher cycles at high temperatures can cause warping or degradation of the cap seal over time. For best longevity, wash by hand and allow to air dry with the cap open.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWhat sports is the Fly Tex suitable for?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Elite Fly Tex is designed primarily for \u003cstrong\u003ecycling\u003c\/strong\u003e but is equally well-suited for \u003cstrong\u003erunning, triathlon, gym training, and general outdoor use\u003c\/strong\u003e. Its lightweight construction and easy-grip texture make it a versatile hydration companion for any sport.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eHow does the 550ml Fly Tex compare to the 600ml or 750ml versions?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 550ml version is the lightest and most compact option — ideal for shorter rides (up to ~1.5 hours) or riders who prioritize minimal weight. The 600ml and 750ml versions offer more capacity for longer efforts or hotter conditions. If you typically ride with two bottle cages, the 550ml is a great choice for one cage while a larger bottle covers the other.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Elite","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57205159592201,"sku":"ELT-2324252046","price":7.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0082\/4128\/3143\/files\/2324252046_8020775042175_1_png.webp?v=1784361820","url":"https:\/\/silverbackbikes.de\/products\/racktime-mounting-strut-350mm-aluminium-black-single","provider":"Silverback Bikes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
