The Elite Fly Tex is a longtime favorite among racers because it is extremely lightweight and features a high-flow valve that is easy to drink from even during hard efforts. In mountain bike racing, though, bottles are essentially commodities. They get covered in grit, scuffed by cages, and occasionally launched on rough descents. The goal is simply to have bottles that do not leak and have a good valve. The Fly Tex checks those boxes while still feeling like a race-ready bottle, and it is affordable enough that families can keep a few extras in the race bag so a clean one is always ready for the start line.
