Product Information
Full details
The Fidlock TWIST Bottle Kit 750ml in Grey is designed for cyclists seeking maximum hydration capacity within compact frame spaces. Its primary benefit is offering a large 750ml volume that fits where typically only smaller bottles would, utilizing the intuitive Fidlock magnetic-mechanical mounting system. A potential consideration is the need for the specific Fidlock bike base, which is included, but requires frame mounting.

FAQs
What is the main advantage of the TWIST system?
The TWIST system uses a unique magnet-mechanical system for incredibly simple, one-handed attachment and detachment of the bottle from its base.
Can I use this bottle on any bike?
The bottle itself is universal, but it requires a Fidlock TWIST bike base to attach to your frame. The included base fits standard frame braze-on mounts.
How do I clean the bottle?
The bottle is dishwasher safe up to 50°C. For best results and longevity, handwashing with warm, soapy water is recommended.
Is the material safe for drinking?
Yes, the bottle is made from BPA-free polyethylene, which is safe for food and beverages.
How much liquid does it hold?
This specific model holds 750ml of liquid.
What happens if I lose the bike base?
You can purchase replacement Fidlock TWIST bike bases separately to use with your bottle.
Will this bottle fit on very small bike frames?
The 750ml bottle is designed to fit into narrow frame geometries, often accommodating spaces usually reserved for smaller bottles. However, frame dimensions vary, so checking specific measurements against your frame is advisable if space is extremely tight.
Troubleshooting
Bottle does not attach securely
Ensure the bike base is correctly mounted and tightened. Check that the bottle's magnetic and mechanical elements are clean and free from debris. Align the bottle carefully with the base before pushing.
Water leaks from the cap
Verify that the self-closing membrane is properly seated and that the dirt cap is fully closed when not in use. Ensure the bottle is not overfilled.
Difficulty detaching the bottle
Twist the bottle slightly while pulling away from the base. Ensure no obstructions are preventing the magnetic release.
Bottle is difficult to squeeze for drinking
Check that the drinking spout is fully open and that the self-closing membrane is not obstructed. Ensure the bottle is not excessively cold, as this can make it more rigid.
