FAQs
Is the Rapha Pro Team Bidon BPA-free?
Yes, it is made from food-grade, BPA-free materials suitable for safe hydration.
Can I put sports drinks in this bottle?
Yes, the material is safe for common sports drinks, though it should be cleaned promptly after use to prevent staining or residue.
Will this bottle fit in a standard aero cage?
The bottle follows standard industry dimensions and will fit the vast majority of standard and aero-style cycling bottle cages.
How do I remove odors from the bottle?
A thorough rinse with warm water and a mild detergent usually suffices. For persistent odors, a mixture of baking soda and water can be soaked inside for an hour.
Is the bottle dishwasher safe?
No, it is recommended to hand wash the bottle to maintain the shape and integrity of the plastic.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty pulling the nozzle open
Ensure the valve is not blocked by dried sports drink residue; rinse thoroughly with warm water to clear the mechanism.
Bottle is loose in the cage
Verify that your bottle cage tension is appropriate for a standard 650ml bottle; some carbon cages may require minor adjustment.
Leakage from the cap
Ensure the cap is screwed on straight and tightened firmly, but avoid overtightening which can strip the threads.
Pros and Cons
Pros

Setup, Compatibility & Care
The bottle is compatible with all standard cycling bottle cages. No specific setup is required; simply rinse the bottle thoroughly before the first use. To ensure the longest life for your bidon, hand wash it using mild soap and warm water. Avoid placing the bottle in a dishwasher, as high heat can warp the plastic and degrade the integrity of the lid seal. After each ride, remove the cap and rinse both the bottle and the valve to prevent buildup and ensure the contents remain fresh for your next outing.
