Elite

Might just be a gimmick, but we are using this after every ride now. Looks like the bottles are cleaner than before. The Elite bottles also easily get deformed, and this gets them back to their proper shape.

Great bottles, love the higher capacity. They definitely have a faster / higher volume flow per squeeze which makes it much easier to grab a quick drink. I like the clear bottles so I can easily see how much I have in there. The caps can be a tiny bit leaky. A few drops here and there are irrelevant outside, but can add up during longer indoor rides. I'll certainly take light-weight over unnecessary extra weight, but the weight of the bottle is a pretty minor factor when you consider you'll have almost a whole kg of fluid in one.

Perfect water bottle. Cheap, easy to fill, and easy to squeeze water out

This really improves your engagement with Zwift. You pay much more attention to the twists and turns of the road, making the experience more immersive. I also run Zwift Sauce in order to see the drafting meter, and combined with the Sterzo, I am much more deeply engaged in my Zwift rides. I also have the Zwift play controllers that allow steering, but their approach is nowhere near as intuitive as this. I also have to give a shout-out to Sterzo customer support. A spring broke on my Sterzo after a couple of years of use. I contacted them for a replacement spring, and they sent me a whole new unit. Bluetooth connection is rock solid.
