Pathetic product that's a step backwardsNice colour, but the design of the cap is pathetic. The thread lacks precision so it's a challenge to seat and the nipple design is back to the 1990s. The only thing this has going for it is the colour and the rapha stripe. The previous iterations (with the camelback-style nipple and anti-drip system) was simply excellent. I no longer buy these and hope that the marketing/product team stop trying to suck up to favoured suppliers and get back to providing top kit, designed to be the best, and not compromising. Question: if Rapha just slaps a logo on a substandard product then it's not longer a brnad with integrity and is just marketing schtick. Bring back the old bidons please!

Efficient bottle with subtle brandingThis is a good bottle with subtle branding. It’s actually slightly firmer plastic than my Specialized Purist bottles, even though this is also a Putist bottle, meaning t your drink won’t taste of plastic after a long day in the sun thanks to the special coating on the inside. The firmer plastic also means that the bottle doesn’t lose its shape and returns to normal shape immediately when squeezed after a drink. The nozzle is better than my Specialized Purist bottles too and dispenses fluids optimally. I have now bought another of these and more of the trail bottles too.

It's a bottleIt works like a bottle should. Yes, the pink and gray stripes get scraped away with continued use, but that should be expected. No leaks, and the valve is easy to open and close. Being a Specialized bottle, I also like it because it fits my zee cages like a glove - no more worry for lost bottles on rides.

Good, but not greatThese Bidons look good - very stylish in RCC colours, however, IMO they are not as good as the previous iteration (Camelback).
I’ve had issue with leaking lids, and also issues with leaking caps when closing.
It’s a shame, but they are more form over function.

Subtle flash to fellow RCC member on roadOh boy, they are finally back in stock
This isn't my first Rapha Bidon, and I want to clarify that I'm not a bottle collector. I choose to buy these Bidons because they hold a special meaning for me as a member of the RCC (Rapha Cycling Club). It's like a subtle flash to my fellow RCC members when we meet on the road. It's a way to connect and share a sense of belonging within the cycling community.

Good bottle. Not good valve.I'm not sure of the valve on the new bottle. If left open fluid will leak out if the bottle is laid down, and dirt from the road / track can pass through. However, keep it closed and you've got yourself a stylish, squeezable bottle. I use SIS blackcurrant energy drink and the bottles hold the smell no matter how hard they're washed.
How can i chose the size in the Order as you mention small and big bottle ?
Asked by: Ingo_G
We currently only have one size in stock, which is the smaller sized bottle.
If both options were in stock there would be an option to select the size below the product photographs.
