The Rocket Bottle is an aerodynamic water bottle that fits standard bottle cages. Rocket Science claims that wind-tunnel testing shows the bottle has 16 percent less drag than a standard bottle, which the company says equates to saving 53 seconds in a 40km time trial.
The 21-ounce bottle has a clear window to show water level, a dimpled surface for extra grip and a silicon washer to prevent leaks. It’s used by the Toshiba-Santo Pro cycling team.
