Stainless steel hydration products target outdoor and mountain biking markets

New stainless steel hydration options are entering the market, targeting mountain bikers and outdoor enthusiasts looking for alternatives to traditional plastic bottles.

Bivo is introducing a stainless steel drinking system designed specifically for mountain biking. The brand aims to address common issues with plastic bottles, such as odors and durability, by using stainless steel and replaceable components. The system features a gravity flow mechanism intended to provide an alternative to the squeezing motion required by standard plastic bidons.

Additionally, the Thermos Ultralight Bottle series offers compact insulation solutions. The 500 ml model weighs 202 g and features double-wall stainless steel insulation capable of keeping beverages cold for up to 20 hours or hot for up to 10 hours. It includes a leak-proof Safe-Flow lid designed for one-handed operation.
