XLAB - Rear Hydration Systems
Hydration systems are of paramount importance and one of the main accessories to decide upon for your cycling training, road racing and triathlon and sportive events. There are so many cycling hydration systems out on the market, and much like saddles, prompt heated debate, forceful opinions and not a lot of sitting on the fence. So which one? Well, having done our research, it's a no-brainer for us.
The US specialists XLAB, led by aeronautical designer Craig Turner, have created several world firsts, amongst them the concept of a rear hydration carrier system. Easier access and more aerodynamic - a bit like legal drafting! Put your water bottle cages in the apparently huge area of turbulent air immediately behind your rear, and reduce drag! Genius! Design a rear hydration system with modular add-ons and you have a combination hydration carrier that can accommodate not only your water bottles, but CO2 cylinders, CO2 adapters, tyres, tyre levers, Speedplay cleat covers, mobile phones ...
And that big problem with water bottles - the side-to-side sway, destabilising the bike especially as you climb and increasing as you
empty the bottle? Gone! The XLAB-designed 'Anti-Sway' technology means that all the carriers benefit from 3 times more
torsional rigidity than the most sturdy
competitors.
And what about your newly found streamlined position? Great for shaving seconds off your PB - not great for making yourself visible to the non-seeing car drivers out there. Enter the latest addition to the XLAB range - the Daylight Training Strobe LIght, which fits all six XLAB Rear Hydration Carriers, and increases the visibility of the low-profile cyclist.
So XLAB have covered it really.
XLAB rear hydration carrier concept provides easily accessed water bottles, positioned to reduce drag and increase the aerodynamics of your bike set-up.
XLAB Super Wing and XLAB Carbon Wing provide a modular system to easily carry tools and accessories, and
XLAB Daylight Training Strobe Light solves the dilemma of low-profile riding visibility.
