Bidón TWIST 800 + Base Bicicleta

Got one of these about a month ago, thinking it would be great. The idea is good, but it just doesn’t work quite right.

First off, the first time I dropped it in the kitchen the little cap on the lid broke in half. Okay, my fault I guess but it probably shouldn’t have broken on a 2 foot fall (empty, by the way).

On the bike, it is nice to not have a cage when you aren’t carrying the bottle. Again, great idea. But with the bottle, there is a lot of play in the system. It doesn’t feel super sturdy. It didn’t fall off on me, but it did move around and make some noise.

Lastly, the bottle leaks. It really does. When you squeeze it to drink some water. It starts to leak around the lid/threads. I found that if I really baby it and just do little tiny squeezes, it doesn’t seem to leak. But I don’t want my $50 water bottle to need special treatment.

It sucks, I really like the idea and the look but it just doesn’t work like it should. Maybe I just got a bad one, who knows. But my experience just hasn’t been great.

If u need a skinny bottle for space spaving but can get away with a teller bottle this is it for max ml.

Love these bottles! Its easy once you get used to putting them back while riding.

The Twist 800 and base are excellent products - very high quality. I really like the clean look on the bike. Removal of the bottle while riding is easy - not too different from removing a bottle from a cage. Returning the bottle to its base is quite different though and it took some time to do it smoothly and without looking down so expect a transition period with that. All is good now though and I am very happy with this product.

Terrible product for anyone who is fast and wants to jump and hit rough section of the trail. It has fallen out too many times.
