1. Key points when buying a cycling water bottle
1. Moderate size
Larger kettles have pros and cons. Most kettles are available in 620ml sizes, with larger 710ml kettles also available.
If weight is a concern, the 620ml bottle is best, but for most people the 710ml bottle is more useful as you can simply choose not to fill it up if you’re going on a short ride.
2. The price is suitable
Don’t pick out a cheap kettle. Because often, kettles priced under 30 yuan or cheaper may become deformed, smell, leak, or wear out quickly.
3. Ease of drinking
Pay attention to the nozzle selection. Regarding the nozzle, a better ergonomic design would make drinking easier. Some bottles come with a locking feature on the spout valve, which is great if you’re used to tossing your bottle in your backpack mid-ride.
4. Squeezability
For some people, this is important. The bottle does not need to be very “squeezable” to be effective, as the cyclist can always tilt the head and bottle back slightly to drink, but the eyes need to be off the road, which is useful for those who “ride fast” For people, a kettle that is easy to squeeze is very important.
5. Easy to clean
If you’re going to be riding a lot, a kettle that’s easy to clean and doesn’t have any nooks and crannies is crucial. Kettles can easily accumulate mold over time, so make sure they are easy to clean.
2. Frequently asked questions about cycling water bottles
1. How to clean a cycling bottle
Avoid extremely high temperatures, as they can cause the kettle to deform. If washing by hand, be sure to let the kettle soak in warm, soapy water for a few minutes before using a bottle brush to thoroughly clean the nooks and crannies of the kettle, especially if it has been filled with sports drinks.
The same applies to bottle caps, the nozzles can be disassembled and they should be cleaned thoroughly on a regular basis.
2. Can hot drinks be put into a cycling kettle?
It is not recommended to pour hot water into cycling bottles unless they are specifically designed for this purpose.
3. How to keep the water in the kettle cold
We do not recommend freezing kettles filled with water as this can cause some kettles to swell slightly and become deformed, or even crack.
