Works great, but computer always falling down
Really like this hydration system. Used it for a full Ironman (Florida 2020) and was great other than a little splashing/leaking from the air hole. Only problem is that the arm holding up my bike computer couldn't be tightened enough to support my Garmin 1030 computer. It kept falling down on my hands or even backwards when not on the aero bars. Still trying to make this system work because I like the bottle.

Much more functional aero mount
Great mount that you can interchange a bottle or use the Torpedo system that comes with it.

Love the new setup
Love the new setup.. much improved. My only issue (and reason for 4 starts instead of 5) is that the Velcro straps for the aerobars are a little short and seem to lose grip quickly. It worked out of the box just fine but after hitting a big bump both straps came lose and it seems it ripped the velco straps lose and now they have lost their grip and I had to go out and add some additional Velcro to better secure things. I think the Velcro straps are just a little short which lead to this. But other than that I love it.

Great hydration system!
I love everything about it except the lid designed to avoid spilling that is very fragile and does not stay in place properly. I ordered a new lid and am hopeful the new one will not have the same issue.

Rattles like crazy when riding on a bumpy road
I have own two of these and they rattle like crazy when you hit a bump or ride on any kind of rough pavement. So annoying :(

Best water bottle
Best water bottle! Much better than the type that stands up on the aero bars. Arrived in time to practice with and use at my HIM race.

CHEAP CONSTRUCTION - BROKE AFTER 1 use
I purchased this for today's race (today is 6/18/2017). i've been doing triathlons for a while and decided to give this a try. ordered the carbon version. received it 2 days ago. installed it, and took my bike today to the race... guess what. RIGHT after 1 mile on the bike leg IT BROKE. i was coming down the bridge and started vibrating i heard a snap and the bottle simply fell I really hope this is just a bad fluke in production and it had a weak point. but i am extremely disappointed. IT AFFECTED MY ENTIRE TIME, i had to do another 9 miles no drink, it slowed me down. this is insane! i could have simply fall down at the speed i was coming down when this happened. THIS is not a cheap piece. this just broke on me on my first use. $160 lost... i am not sure its just my piece or what but i think this review help you guys on this.take a look at how bottle ended, all scratched and the place where the bottle holder broke.

Gran compra
Soporte rígido y adaptable de forma cómoda. Quiza el soporte delngarmin no fije del todo bien y se mueva cuando vas en marcha pero tiene solución. Después de solucionarlo es comodisimo.
