So, you all know the Trek aero bottles? The really cool ones that are like 100 bucks a piece. It appears that Panda Podium has gone and made a near-identical rip-off. The only noticeable difference is a small part of the cage coming up to the size of the bottle. It’s about 60 bucks for 2 of them, and they come with a little brush to clean them.
Those who own the bottles (Trek or Panda), what is your experience? Worth it? Do you think it saves watts, as Trek says? Are they really as much of a pain to live with, like everyone says? I mostly want to use them for races. Probably just road stuff or maybe the MTB, cause why not? Aerro is still a thing on XC, right?
Do yall think there will be a problem w the rip off versions?
