Good bottle
I'm still not sure about the new spouts on the bottles - lots of opportunity for mud and stuff to get into the bottle if it's not closed fully. Still, the thinner walls will make it easier to squeeze during the cold weather. No taste in the bottles when new, but my chosen energy drink does taint them. I now have bottles for powders and bottles only for water.

Not as good as the previous version,and overpriced
I like the minimalist and the slight reflective design of the bottle but it is overpriced and the mouth is not the same as the previous model where it is much easier to get the water out simply by squeezing. Now i have to use my mouth to open the valve and then squeeze. It is now a 2-step process rather than 1-step. So that is why i gave it 2stars

Great color, but too small.
This bottle was purchased mainly for the color and design. I wanted a larger one, but they were out of stock. The smaller version is a bit too small and doesn’t hold enough liquid. On longer rides, you will find yourself refilling often. The exterior has also started to peel a bit. Not a win for me.

Valve issue
The old CamelBak bidon had much better valve. In order to avoid spillage while riding you'll need to make sure your valve is locked vs the old valve that had much smarter internals that kept liquid in even when valve was unlocked and wide open. Light height, cool graphics.

Uncomfortable to use compared to last year's bidon
The quality is good, but the valve is way less easy to use compared to last year's Camelback bidons. It has no leak protection and the valve itself is less comfortable to use.
The only advantage is that it is easier to open the valve with teeth holding bidon in one hand.

Give it some bottle
What to say, holds drinks well, doesn't leak, good mouthpiece for when biting up and open to drink, with no worry it will come out (issue I've had in the past on some Elite bottles). Only time will tell how well colours hold up on it after going in and out of cages...!

It's a bidon with some stripes on it
It's a bidon with some stripes on it. Thicker wall plastic provides some form of insulation to keep drink cool / warm (depending on the ambient temperature) for a bit, but not as much as a proper insulated bidon.
You can put it in the dishwasher which is a bonus.

Good spout, needs clear side
It’s a water bottle. They have 2 parts, top and bottle. Here, the top is spot on, nice rubber spout. But the bottle is lesser quality plastic and doesn’t have a clear window on the side to gauge water level

Good but not great value
A good bidon but not a great one , substandard compared to the original camelbak ones , yet still the same price , must try harder in this instance Rapha , the quality doesn't seem to match the price tag.

Good bottles
Good water bottle. Fits into my frame better than the larger size bottles, no issues getting in and out of the cages. Doesn't have any effect on taste of water. Very happy with the purchase.

I’m happy with the black explore bottle bundle. I bought these for an 11 day trip and the worked really well. I continue to use them everyday after the trip. They look good and perform well

Less but better.
Great looking and fits nice and tight when using S Work bottle cages. Happy Rapha ditched the Camelbak bottles and went with the standard. Simple styling to keep your Fred-ness at bay.

Great bottle
Pros: the bottle value is easy to use; easy to clean; the stripe on the bottle is eye catching.
Cons: the bottle is easily scratched by the water cage.
Overall the product is great.

Love this Rapha pink
Love the colour, contrasts my Matt black ride and gives a bit of high vis.
No iffy plastic taste from the bottle. No issues with valve or sizing.
Nice product

Commute in pink
Excellent bottle. It’s high vis on a black bike. That can’t be a negative when you want to be seen on the roads in day, night, rain and mist.

Great bottle
Great looking water bottle. Fits in well with the rest of the range. Only issue I have is that scratches show easily on the black bottle.

Good looking bottles
I'm really happy with the purchase. The bottles look stylish and are soft enough which was my big concern due to my teeth issues.

Bottle leaks
Bottle leaks, I asked to get an exchange but they were out of stock of the bottle I have. So now I just have a leaky bottle

High style Purist bottle
my favorite winter second bottle. Like the black and grey and prefer the smaller size -- why carry water you won't drink?

Holds water and other liquids so you can drink while riding your bike. Does the job admirably and looks good too.

What can I say, it’s a water bottle.. I bought it because it’s Rapha and I believe that’s really all that matters

Perfect size
Perfect size to have 2 bottles and a pond carrying the extra weight of bigger bottles.
Also, great design.

I love the new design but miss the old bottles because you could limit what amount of water comes out
