Aerodynamically Invisible

Our Aerodynamic engineers designed in elements from racing cars to help make the Torpedo bottle aerodynamically invisible.

  • Contoured bottle design – fits snugly between your arms and allows you to rest your hands comfortably in front or to the side.
  • Kamm Tail – The angled rear of the bottle, is not just for looks. It helps reduce the drag by 50%.
  • Airflow Straighteners – Carefully molded into the top of the bottle, these grooves re-direct airflow for a clean, straight exit, reducing drag.
  • Small rounded Nose – With a small frontal area and smooth edges, air can wrap cleanly around the bottle essentially eliminating harsh surface impact which can cost you time in a race.

Tested and Proven

Tested and proven to be aerodynamically invisible by Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) testing, wind tunnel testing, and real world velodrome testing.

  • Torpedo bottle produces only 5.5 grams of drag, 64.7% less drag when compared to a standard water bottle. For a full distance race that is approximately 112 seconds of savings.

Revolutionary Telescoping Computer Mount

The only hydration system where you will find a telescoping computer mount! Adjust your computer to maximize line of sight while keeping your head and helmet in the ideal aero position!

Just Two Adjustments to Dial In the Perfect Position

  • Height adjustment – Place your computer above the bottle for easy view, or underneath the bottle when using a standard bottle for easy bottle access.
  • Angle Adjustment – Have a large computer, have a small one? No biggie, the computer mount post lets you bring the computer mount fore & aft allowing you enough clearance away from the bottle, and close-enough to maximize aerodynamics.

On-the-Go Tilt Adjustment

Glare is bound to hit your computer face while riding which makes reading your computer difficult & dangerous. Quickly & easily adjust your computer angle while riding and get back to enjoying the view ahead.

Compatibility

  • The computer mount is compatible with Garmin® & Wahoo® bike computers and watches. Use a different computer? Check out our TORPEDO COMPUTER ADAPTER KIT to explore other options.

NOTE: Garmin® computer shown not included.

Easy to Drink and Refill

Adaptable Hydration System that fits your needs. Super-Sealed, No-Leak Bottle Design.

Versatile Straw

  • Two straw positions for a customized fit.
  • Keep the straw up reminding you to drink, or tucked down underneath the Dolphin Tail saving you up to 100 grams of straw drag.
  • Squishy, but durable bite valve gives you a fast refreshment while helping to decrease bloating which is caused by taking in extra air.

Multiple Lid Options

  • Solid Lid features 2 pull tabs for easy open/close. The wide mouth opening allows you to easily add powder, tablets and fluid. No leaking with this lid!
  • Refillable Lid – ideal for those who want a quick fluid refill option. Easy peasy.

One-Piece Bottle System

  • Unlike other systems, the TORPEDO BOTTLE carries a full 769 mL (26 oz) of fluid – enough capacity to take on a full aid-station bottle!
  • The unique one-piece bottle design helps eliminate bottle leaking common in other systems.

Versatile and Reliable Mounting

Having to modify a system or add your own elements to make it work? No thank you – the Versa system features a simplistic installation & the widest range of fit options – just for you!

  • Strong Velcro straps pulled tightly, secure the brackets in place for no budging. Eliminates the need for zip-ties that can weaken, rubber bands that can suddenly snap or electrical tape that just makes everything sticky.
  • Included mount fits 22.2 mm diameter. If your bars are oversized, check our SecureClip Brackets.

Easy Maintenance

  • One-piece, Torpedo bottle is very easy to clean. Simply soak, cover holes, shake, rinse and dry! Large lid hole allows for bottle brushes to be used as well.
  • One-piece bottle body ensures there is no leaking – keeping your bike sticky-free.
  • All visible hardware is specially coated to help avoid corrosion.

HOW WE MADE AEROBARS FASTER

The pursuit of reducing the drag of aerobar setups led us to the development of the first horizontal between-the-arms aerobar hydration mount in 2009. The XLAB Torpedo System successfully reduced aerodynamic drag and created a safer, more streamlined hydration source than previously available.
You can explore the background development of the now iconic shape at Aerodynamics.


REINVENTING THE COMPUTER MOUNT

The XLAB VERSA COMPUTER MOUNT is a revolutionary, telescoping computer mount for viewing performance data no matter what type of bottle is used. Our objective in designing this mount was to add versatility without sacrificing aerodynamic performance. Raise the computer mount up to to use with the TORPEDO BOTTLE, or lower it down to clear a Standard Bottle while maintaining optimal view. Avoid sun glare by simply tilting the computer on the go.

 

Aerodynamic Testing:
Extensive Computation Fluid Dynamics (CFD) testing went into the development of the XLAB VERSA COMPUTER MOUNT to ensure the optimal drag profile of the overall system would not be compromised. To dive deep into the details, download our whitepaper.

 

The VERSA COMPUTER MOUNT stacked up with Others:
Overall the Versa Computer Mount had the same amount of drag savings than a system without a computer mount.
Versa CFD Testing
Versa CFD Testing

Full Distance Time Savings
When you take these savings and apply them as time, the Versa Computer Mount could save you up to 112 seconds in a Full Distance triathlon.
Versa CFD Testing

What does that mean? The XLAB VERSA COMPUTER MOUNT adds zero drag to the proven aerodynamics of the XLAB Torpedo System. The mount achieves our goal to design an adjustable mount that adds versatility without sacrificing aerodynamic performance of our time-saving proven setup.

Reviews


Aerogeeks: “The new computer mount is quite simply fantastic. Placing your computer is a personal decision – do you go behind the BTA, on top of, or in front? If you are like [our chief editor], the only proper place for a computer is as far forward as possible (to allow you to easily view the computer with simple eye movements instead of having to move your whole head). The new mount allows exactly that.”
