Profile Designs Aeria Bicycle Hydration Drink System - Front (Black)

Perfect hydration solution. Aero fit. No splash. A little hard to fill. Very easy to install.hUpdate: I've put a few hundred miles on the bottle. It remains a great aero choice. It is more difficult to clean than other options but it is certainly more aero.

Very well integrated with my Aeria Ulimate and Stem... great desing and very ease to use, refill and wash. I recommend it for sure.Update 3 months after start using: the cap went loose on bumps.

Cool!!!

Fairly easy to install and remove for cleaning. Very minimal splashing while riding, even over bumps. Most of the mess comes from refilling it from another bottle while riding. Mine does rattle a little bit while riding, which I don't love, but it works great. Make sure you buy the matching stem to be able to install it.

I've got this on the new QR VPR. I have major issues with it leaking copious amounts of fluid. Last Friday I barely got out of the driveway and a waterfall of fluid was emanating from the unit. I though it might be the rubber top and put some duct tape over it but that didn’t help. After the ride I examined it more closely and to me it seems that there is a huge gap between the rubber washer that is supposed to seal the top when placed on. I suspect that us where all the fluids are draining from. I have tried to increase the thickness of the seal by using rubber bands, covered the slits that are around the perimeter of the nose that sits inside the opening. It slowed the flow on the next ride but didn't stop it. When I ride I am losing alot of fluids but it drips into the hub and disc rotors gumming everything up. And the effort it takes to clean the bike is monumental.

Unfortunately it was not stated that this product can only be used with a Profile Designs stem (which is not compatible with my bike), which is costly and heavy. I returned the product.In a ploy to sell more of their own products, PD has alienated a large segment of the market. Smart move? Not so sure.

Surpassed my expectations, firm, no splash, easy to refill while riding just perfect

Love the look and aerodynamics of it, but it’s not designed well structurally. It connects at the bottom of the stem, which means none of the body of the stem supports its weight. Only a small plastic connection piece with 2 small screws support the weight of the bottle. I’ve had it break 3 times on rides going over very bumps that should have been nothing. Also because it’s only the one small connection, when it does break, it drops suddenly. Have not been hurt but pretty alarming, for any riders nearby as well. Even besides that, the fit & finish is lacking because the connection does not really hold the bottle secure on the bike and allows for undesirable flex while riding. I would hope they create a connection at the top and bottom to make it feel secure and part of the bike.
