That's a good question, I'm not sure if a non-insulated bottle would perform better than a plastic bottle in the heat. Note, Bivo actually sells an insulated version of the bottle now as well.
Yea, from what I've read Bivo will expand the lineup. As you said yourself, an insulated version would be much more useful for cycling with given the weight penalty of the steel construction.
This was a helpful look at the Bivo water bottle, thank you! Does the mud cap from the camelback fit on the push pull nozzle of the Bivo? I want to rig up a mid cap for the Bivo, but hope to find out if it fits before spending the money on it!
Good question - even though bottle diameters are pretty standard the lid thread seems to vary brand to brand. With the Bivo the main feature is that gravity cap - if you put a standard lid on it it won't flow nearly as well. As far as compatibility, the Camelbak and Polar lids do not work on it as the Bivo has the threads on the outside of the lid instead of the inside. You can see that by comparing 04:43 vs ruclips.net/video/1uUBAmFLf3w/видео.html.
Ah, that makes more sense. Yes, the simple rubber "mud cap" from the CamelBak does fit on the Bivo nozzle. It has a nice seal when closed, but when it's open it's pretty loose (diameter of the mud cap base is larger than the nozzle) so you have to be careful.
@@carinahamel6803 That's cool! The camelback caps works pretty well on it, the ring fits right around the middle of the push/pull cap and slips over the top I was bummed that the silicon coating started peeling off after the first use--just normal use, no dropping or trauma involved...especially since the coating is more expensive than the raw version :/
hey great video, but one doubt does the non insulated bottle heat up more than a regular plastic bottle on a hot day in the sun

Excellent review, I know it’s not insulated but do they have plans on releasing an insulated one? This would be a game changer for me

Check out Bivo's instagram and website as there will be an insulated version launching soon!

@@TheSweetCyclists Thanks for replying, but I just mean leaving the bivo lid on and putting the mud cap over the top for gravel/single track.

@@sarahhinton4104 We will be launching a mud cap within the next month, should be a game changer for gravel and mud!
