However, you will want to make sure that you have the appropriate type of aero water bottle or else you are liable to lose it if you hit rough terrain. Still Solid The primary benefit of a torpedo mounted hydration system is that you literally do not need to do anything to use it except put the extended feeder tube in your mouth. The issue with this mount is that you will need to take more time to refill it, and the feeder tube can either distract you or even leak its contents as your race. Time gain per type of hydration system over the length of an Ironman distance in comparison with standard 500mL bottle fixed on the downtube Aero bottles are allowed under World Triathlon (ex ITU) regulation. The use of aero bottles is not listed in the regulation, meaning you are allowed to use them when racing triathlons. Should you buy an aero water bottle? XLAB is the other company primarily known for manufacturing hydration systems which can be found in numerous Winner’s Circles from a wide variety of different triathlons.
On top of that, this rear mount can be mounted in a couple different ways, depending on whether you prefer aerodynamics or ease of reach. Profile Designs makes another appearance on our list, but this time it is for those racers who need more hydration than most. On top of that, a frame mounted hydration system is within easy reach for a cage type and is easier to refill for the contained type of hydration system. This type also suffers less destabilization than a rear mounted hydration system but more vibration that a front mounted hydration system. The watts saved by different hydration solution depends a lot on your riding speed. The faster you go the more gain you can get from using an aerodynamic solution for hydration. The slower the fewer gains you can get in comparison with a normal water bottle. So before choosing which solution is best for you, start by assessing your average speed on your next race.The way that XLABs is able to keep a near clone of their flagship hydration system at such a low price is by using a nylon cage. Finally, this hydration system maximizes its design with an aerodynamic profile as well as a non-slip grip.
For one, this hydration system can support up to 2 bottles but is just as effective and aerodynamic when supporting only one.It has been hard work finding an aero water bottle. My first one kept falling out, which makes it no good. I’ve recently bought an X-Lab Aero TT bottle, which hopefully will stay put, and save the odd couple of watts. Specialized S-Works Aero Water Bottle I believe the UCI regulation is question is that –‘bottles themselves must not exceed maximum cross-section dimensions of 10cm or less than 4cm.’
You may not think of SOTO as a bottle manucaturer, but as the famous saying goes, "they''re big in Japan". SOTO is one of the biggest outdoor brands in Japan and they manufacture all sorts of products there, not just the amazing stoves that we've had in the UK for the past few years now. So, as more of their products come across from asia we get to experience their exceptional design skills in the other areas in which they are succesful. Still, the Torpedo Versa 200 makes room in an already crowded market by providing pretty much everything that the Torpedo Versa 500 does at a lower cost. Give and Take

Torpedo – The torpedo mount is actually just a modified front mounted hydration system and are always a contained system. In fact, the torpedo mount is how the first contained fueling systems were made with contained frame mounted hydration systems coming a bit later.
This allows you to get a great price on a carbon fiber cage mounted to the frame, though it is not especially secure or durable. Reasonably Decent Aero bottles are banned under UCI regulation since 2013. Bottles can only be located inside of the frame: on the down and seat tubes. The dimensions of the bottles are regulated: 4 to 10cm in cross-section and 400mL to 800mL in capacity. Integrated water bottles are also forbidden by the UCI. This is also another self-contained hydration system that is mounted on the front in a torpedo position. While not the flagship model, the FC System offers more than enough value, though it is a bit more expensive than most. Convenience DesignedBottles shall not be integrated to the frame and may only be located on the down and seat tubes on the inside of the frame. The dimensions of the cross sections of a bottle used in competition must not exceed 10 cm or be less than 4 cm and their capacity must be a minimum of 400 ml and a maximum of 800 ml.“ The biggest difference between the Mini Wing 105 and most of XLAB’s other rear mounted hydration systems comes down to materials. This is likely in part due to the fact that, aside from being made of carbon fiber, the mounting hardware is extremely light as well. Moreover, this frame mounted hydration system is also easy to install.
