We started carrying BIVO bottles last summer, and they are back in stock for this year! We’ve added new colors and are fully stocked up for the upcoming summer season.
Personally, these are among the top three things I bought last year—I truly find them indispensable. Let’s recap the features of these BIVO bottles, the saviors of water bottle selection.
A stainless steel bottle with a nozzle designed for cyclists
While BIVO bottles are made of stainless steel like those from KLEAN KANTEEN, they feature a nozzle (spout) that allows you to hydrate while riding just like a standard cycling bottle.
With plastic bottles, air gets inside as you drink, so you have to squeeze the bottle to get water out. But you can't do that with a stainless steel bottle, right?
Developed by a team including former NASA engineers, this bottle features a "squeezeless" design. Simply pull up the cap and tilt the bottle to hydrate with a high flow rate. It’s a bottle crafted specifically for a smooth and comfortable drinking experience.
Why stainless steel?
No odor transfer and dishwasher safe
Because they are stainless steel, you don't have to worry about the odor transfer common with plastic bottles, and they are reliable for long-term use. A nice bonus is that they are dishwasher safe, which is rare for this type of bottle.
Kind to people and the planet
As mentioned, BIVO chose stainless steel not only for the user's benefit but also out of environmental consideration.
By carefully considering the impact of raw materials on humanity, they aim to produce bottles that use as little plastic as possible, with the ultimate goal of keeping our planet healthy. They scrutinize every material to ensure ease of cleaning, recyclability, and durability, resulting in a carbon-neutral manufacturing process.
Great insulation (Insulated models only)
The double-wall Trio series keeps drinks cold for over 12 hours,
making it a reliable companion for rides in the coming season.
By the way, according to reports from Kyutai-san and Eri-chin from the Circles snow mountain department, it was great to keep room-temperature water at room temperature during winter activities. It's definitely a recommended approach for those who worry about getting an upset stomach from cold water. (*Note: These are not suitable for boiling water.)
Since Insulated models are heavier, if you prefer something lighter, I recommend the One or Duo models; they don't have insulation, but you can still easily enjoy the benefits of a stainless steel bottle.
All models fit most bottle cages, and the colored versions have a silicone anti-slip coating on the surface, which is great for scratch resistance.
New sizes and colors for the Insulated Trio model!
For this shipment, we have restocked primarily the popular Insulated Trio model.
Also, we have added a new 17oz (500ml) Insulated model. Because of the double-wall structure, the 21oz (621ml) model is 260mm tall, making it taller than a standard 26oz (769ml) plastic bottle. This new size provides an alternative for those who couldn't fit the 21oz bottle due to frame size or frame bag clearance issues.
We've also added three new colors to these Insulated models: Flamingo, Mango, and Cactus.

Be careful—once you experience this level of insulation, you won't be able to go back to other bottles. Get one now and be ready for your rides in the upcoming season!
