The test was done totally independently by the head coach at Greenlight PT Adam who is a well-respected coach for some years, and was the allocated rider. Adam held his position perfectly and was overseen by the Aero Engineer at Silverstone Wind Tunnel.

Dave from Elysium Racing – a well-respected group of elite TT riders – conducted and organised the runs.

I did expect the EZ Hydro-Gains to be slightly faster, I was shocked to see how much faster and would be happy to say with the limited options on the market, that this is probably the fastest rear bottle cage holder that actually holds hydration on the market and has already created a massive backlog of orders, not only for Triathletes but Time Trialists as well.

Rear Bottle Holder Not Included.

THE FASTEST & SAFEST TESTED REAR BOTTLE HOLDER

Outside totally independent tests carried out by Jim Manton from FAST or FICTION the riders Adam Harita & Tony Macias, EZ Gains had no idea these test were being carried till the point when Jim contacted us and informed us of these amazing results.

The Fastest Set Up is Two 500ml Circular Bottles 0-6 Degree from a ground level surface.

Test Day 13/05/2025

Our test rider was Head Coach of Greenlight PT, Adam Gibson.

Here’s what he had to say…

“It was an exciting day being asked to help test a new prototype rear bottle holder for EZ Gains. Me and Dave (Elysium Race Team) headed down to the renowned Silverstone Sports Engineering Hub to put the product through its paces.

It was my first time in a wind tunnel and after a brief setup and explanation of what was required, we got going. All I had to do was ride at 85 cadence and hold the exact same position within the green lines for an hour or so while Dave swapped on different bottle holders and changed the setup slightly. Sounds easy right?! Far from it. But after an hour of testing, and with very achy shoulders by the end, I was complimented on how good I was at holding the exact same position. This meant we had a really clean set of data to see any changes in drag.

The results were pretty significant with the EZ Hydro-Gains product testing faster than my baseline (no product) and also much faster than a competitor product! Really good news for EZ Gains and I am sure when this comes to market plenty of people will be taking up.”

EZ Hydro-Gains Silverstone Wind Tunnel

This has been a quest to develop the Ultimate rear bottle holder that not only holds your hydration without it flying out, it makes you faster as well with a lot of extra features and benefits.

Time Savings

Over 2 minutes at all speeds using the EZ Hydro-Gains Rear Bottle Holder, you are on the course longer at lower speeds, so even though the watts gains are not as high, the time gains are the same.

Watt Savings with EZ Hydro-Gain

Testing Protocol: Most of a race you will be cycling at 0/5 YAW angle. YAW is the angle of the wind. We only needed to test on one side as both sides of the EZ Hydro-Gains are the same.

THE HISTORY OF TESTING

For some of our previous tests which we published go to Latest News. EZ Gains have tested many rear bottle setups over the years but have not published all the tests due to time “We will be going through previous tests and adding these”, we never found that any other conventional bottle position gave a significant advantage until the Hydro-Gains:

The safest bottle holder system, “bump tested” this is due to the positioning of the cage, its a lot easier for a bottle to fly out of a vertical holder system rather then a horizontal system due to the force it takes to take a bottle out from the side, its almost impossible.
Also EZ Gains individually make the saddle clamps “and exceeded some existing clamps” for each seat giving you an exact fit rather then a universal clamp which will never exactly fit your saddle.
Another main factor is, the athletes do not need to lean as far back to grab there hydration, thus giving them more control of there bike when hydrating and exchanging bottles.

Fitting Instructions

 

EZ Hydro-Gains FittingInstructions

Please do screws up to:

3 NM newton-metre or until a firm hand tight.

2 NM newton metre (Double Bottle Attachment) Or good hand tight

Please ensure you check the bolts are tight on a regular basis.

It’s advisable to not use more then two 500ml bottles on the rear if full of hydration, the 500ml bottle tested faster then the 750ml bottles, however we have done a huge amount of weight testing to 33lb of weight and they still held firm, over 600,000 kilometres of road testing with 750ml bottles, but we can never predict how large a pot hole is or your situation, but what we will do is resolve a fair situation.

If the course is absolutely horrendous like the T100 London with over 40 speed bumps being hit at 40kph then you have the choice to run a single.

Adding extra security to the RBH will never go to miss on poor road surfaces in the way of Blue lock thread, this is commonly used across the PRO Field in all areas on the bike.

A=Seat Mount & Screws B=Double bottle Mount and Screws “TIGHTEEN SCREWS TO A STRONG HAND TIGHT OR 3NM”

Features

Change angle / Move forward back

These features allow you to move the bottle close to your arse to maximise aero benefits, also to angle the bottle to preferred angle tighten to 2nm. – refer to science page for data.

Double Bottle Mount – If Purchased

Remove the single bottle mount and screws and attach the double bottle mount with the longer screws tighten to 2nm.

Bottle Tie

Add extra security on bumpy road surfaces, adjust toggle to suit your set up pull tight and tie a knot to secure toggle, toggle is not required you can just tighten knot.

EZ Extension Plate

This allows you to bring your bottle even closer to your butt, optimizing on your aero benefits, it’s totally clear with all the testing we have done that the further forward the bottle and slightly higher up, the faster it is, bottles further back and lower down are a lot slower even leading into negative drag.
