Product news: Fidlock: Smart assembly for drinking bottles and Co.

September 20, 2018 by Christian Ettl

Fidlock

Market: For most cyclists, a drinking bottle is one of the essential accessories that are simply indispensable. The classic bottle holder has disadvantages: it doesn't always look nice, it usually only works perfectly with the drinking bottle. It often gets tight in small frames or there is only one mounting option where you would need two. Fidlock has great solutions for this and other tasks when it comes to transporting smaller things. 

Fidlock

Fidlock has been a supplier to the bicycle industry for millions of years. Helmet fasteners and quick-release fasteners for accessories in particular are known for their attractive latching - the independent tightening, centering and secure latching of two elements by means of magnetic force. With the Twist System, Fidlock has been offering for the first time in the bike and sports market for some time - beyond the closure - self-developed products based on its own technology. The accessories can be easily detached from the bike with just a defined movement, otherwise they are securely connected to the bike - even when things get rough.



The entire Twist system from Fidlock has a modular structure and is constantly being further developed. Twist has been serving three product areas since 2018: drinking bottles "Bottle", bags "Bag" and a universal holder, the "Uni Connector".Twist combines innovative design with a unique lightness in look, style and handling. Incidentally, Twist is also the release mechanism: twisting the bottle releases it from the “Base” bottle holder.

Fidlock Bottle 600 and Bottle 450

The 600 ml drinking bottle is the ideal companion for every tour. Whether single trail or forest path, rough downhill or uphill flow, gravel tour or racing bike tour. Sometimes smaller is just more appropriate. A Bottle 450 finds its place even in the smallest frame. Thanks to its ergonomically optimized shape, it nestles in the hand - perfect for a quick round in between. Fill in the drink, snap it in – departure!

  • Easy to mount on BCM 64 bottle cage mounts
  • Ergonomically optimized bottle shape
  • Good squeeze feeling
  • Intuitive removal with the TWIST turning movement
  • Magnetic guidance into the mechanical lock
  • Secure fit - never lose bottles again
  • No annoying rattling disturbs the biking pleasure
  • Bottle on the fully - no longer a problem!
  • Large filling opening - easy to clean

  • Price: € 34,99

Fidlock Uni Connector 80

With the Uni Connector 80, Fidlock wants to offer a universal solution for all bottles. There should be (almost) no limit to individual freedom! Whether the PET bottle is allowed or the aluminum hiking bottle should be taken from the backpack to the bike - or whether an isothermal bottle has to provide warm liquid on winter trips. The Uni Connector 80 has been developed for all of this. Thanks to its tried-and-tested Boa screw cap system, it converts all kinds of bottles up to a diameter of 80mm and a filling of up to one liter into bike bottles without further ado. Of course, with the Twist system it is just as easy to remove and reposition as all Twist modules.

  • Universal bottle holder for PET, glass and metal bottles
  • Maximum bottle size: 1 liter
  • Maximum bottle diameter: 80mm
  • BOA twist cap system holds all bottle shapes
  • Easy to mount on BCM 64 bottle cage mounts

Fidlock bike base

If the number of bikes exceeds the number of bottles…..the Fidlock Bike Base will help! Simply attach the bike base to all bikes - and when changing from MTB to racing bike to gravel bike and back, simply take the Bottle 600 or Bottle 450 with you, snap it in and off you go! And if you don't have a bottle attached, the bike base is hardly noticeable due to its narrow shape and with only 16 grams it is not at all heavy.

  • The base for all bikes - just take the bottle with you
  • Easy to mount on BCM 64 bottle cage mounts
  • Intuitive removal with the TWIST turning movement
  • Magnetic guidance into the mechanical lock
  • Secure fit - never lose bottles again
  • Optimal use of resources
  • Price: € 9,99

Fidlock UniBase

Bottle on the bike - well and good. But what if the bottle holder mounts are already occupied elsewhere - by bike bags, battery packs for overnight lighting, for example. Or if the bike has no recordings at all? The Fidlock Uni Base, a universal frame adapter, helps here. This allows bottles and bags to be placed individually on the bike. Simply position and securely fasten with the two wide cable ties. They work for pipe diameters of 28 - 62 mm. The soft rubber back effectively protects the frame from scratches and has an anti-slip effect. One more step towards individual bike configuration.



  • Individual positioning for all Twist Modul bottles and bags
  • For maximum freedom on the bike
  • Secure installation with cable ties
  • Frame-friendly, preformed rubber backing
  • Intuitive removal through the rotary movement
  • Magnetic guidance into the mechanical lock
  • Secure fit
  • Optimal use of resources
  • For carbon, aluminum, titanium and steel frames
  • Price: € 19,99

Fidlock Saddle Bag 600

The bike tour is coming up, the bottle is filled, everything is ready to go – actually. But what to do with money, keys, bolts and other small items? In the jersey? Yes, it works - but it looks kind of stupid and doesn't really wear well. At the latest when you stop in the beer garden or in an iced coffee, the bulge also gets in the way when sitting comfortably and relaxing. The Saddle Bag 600 offers space for all the important things on the tour, withstands a rain shower thanks to the waterproof zip, adapts easily and fits perfectly into the bike base! And when you get to your destination, you lock up your bike and simply take the saddle bag with you to the restaurant. Fast, convenient, practical.

  • Saddlebag push system
  • Whole 600ml filling volume
  • Waterproof zipper
  • Easy mounting on seat stays
  • Intuitive release with push button
  • Magnetic guidance into the mechanical lock
  • Secure fit
  • Optimal use of resources
  • Price: € 49,99
