It has ripples for better grip though.

I clicked, ready to scoff.  Then read "Elastic Titanium" and the titanium/tech freak in me went "ooh"

Also made of Ti, so weighs less than air. I wonder if they have a raw option.

As aside - "we've noticed you are using an adblocker.....blah blah" but "alternatively watch this 30 sec video for 12 ad free hours access". Never had that option before. Still not bothering mind.

Now these truly deserve the "trail treasure" moniker; also, who drinks like that?

Is titanium or carbon best for water bottles?

I think they're a cracking idea. Have ordered 4.

It's only 54 euros, you can throw them away after using them

I was always of the belief that Silver had anti bacterial and healing properties so why are they using Titanium instead?

I might buy one just so that, in the unlikely event that I ever meet Flashy out on a ride, I can beat him to within an inch of his life with it whilst screaming in his face

......"IT'S A BOTTLE.......(blam)........NOT A BIDON..(whack)........YES, IT IS RATHER NICE ISN'T IT....(thud)......YEP, IT'S DESCRIBED AS A BOTTLE......(bosh)....ON THE PACKAGING AND  ALL THE PROMOTIONAL MATERIAL.....(biff).......NO, I'M NOT FRENCH........(kapow).....AND NEITHER.....(pow)....ARE.....(ka-blam)....YOOOOOOOOOU!.........(splosh)..............it's titanium you know"

Perchy, my old fruit, surely you know I'd only ever use bidon to poke fun at the neo-roadies this sort of piffle is aimed at.

Chateau!

Having "a specially branded bottom" didn't appeal.

which claims to have solved the problems faced by conventional plastic bottles

It doesn't really.  The only real problem I have is losing the lids so unless it comes with 20 spare lids it hasn't solved anything.  Also nothing gets me clicking 'back' faster that something that claims to have fixed problems you didn't know you had
