White for road cycling, stainless steel for everyday use: the TWIST range is expanding with two new models. Both can be attached to the frame without a conventional bottle cage.
Anyone looking to buy a gift for a road cyclist will be familiar with the problem: yet another jersey? Socks again? To mark the start of the festive season, Fidlock is offering an alternative in the form of two new additions to the TWIST system. One is designed for a clean look, whilst the other is made of stainless steel.
As white as freshly fallen snow: TWIST bottles in Polar White
White frames, clean lines, as few distractions as possible: the trend in road and gravel bikes is towards minimalism. The new look of the TWIST bottles 590 and 800 in Polar White fits in perfectly with this. The all-white bottle is designed to blend discreetly into the overall look. Nothing has changed in terms of functionality: soft material, a classic mouthpiece and an ergonomically optimised shape are all designed with the ride in mind.
The bottles are available in 590 or 800 ml sizes.
They cost 44.99 euros each (RRP) as part of a set with the TWIST bike base.
Stainless steel for tough situations: TWIST steel bottles
Commuters, cyclists and anyone whose water bottle has to withstand a fair bit of wear and tear can now choose from new stainless steel models. According to the manufacturer, the TWIST steel bottles 400 and 600 are resistant to knocks and scratches. Different drinking openings are designed to suit their use whilst on the move.
Added to this is the double-walled TWIST steel bottle 500 insulated. According to the manufacturer, it keeps drinks hot for 15 hours and cold for 35 hours. That should keep your tea warm on a winter hike just as much as it keeps your cola cool on a hot summer’s day.
An overview of the prices:
- TWIST steel bottles 400 and 600: €49.99 each (RRP) as part of a set with the TWIST bike base
- TWIST 500 insulated steel bottle: €59.99 RRP for the set
- Colours: RAW, GREEN and BLACK
Fidlock magnet: How it works
All models are attached to the bike using the TWIST magneto-mechanical system. You can attach the bottle intuitively and release it with a quick twist. A traditional bottle cage on the frame is not required. This saves space on the frame, which can be useful not only on bikes with a narrow frame triangle.

These are used on everything from helmets and shoes to bags and school satchels. The company’s origins date back to 2007: musician Joachim Fiedler developed a magnetic mount for cello bows at that time and later founded the company.
