They seem to be longer than normal (Amazon) and larger. Any idea where they can be found?
Out of stock, but I bought a few earlier this year. I haven’t done specific aero testing, but I have to thing a bigger bottle in a very high BTA setup is better than a smaller bottle. Also, I can get away with a 70.3 on one concentrated bottle and a gatorade handup, but going from 700ml to 1000ml is a boost in calories and hydration that is hard to justify with a second bottle placed BTS (~4w)
They are usually just 950 ml to 1 litre bottles.
Sam Long for example is sponsored by Powerbar and his longer bottle is: https://www.bike24.com/p2671077.html (obviously that site shows sold out but sending it as an example).
The 226ers I litre ones are pretty good https://www.tradeinn.com/bikeinn/en/226ers-logo-1l-water-bottle/138250035/p
The Elite Jet 950 is one of the lighter ones which are on Amazon US and EU sites

Super! Thank you both!

The calories shouldn’t be a limiter for 70.3 using 700mL. For marathons I put 175g carbs in a 350mL bottle, so a 700mL bottle should already be able to hold more than anyone can digest in a 70.3 ride.

The bottles are for aerodynamics (filling up the chest cavity). I saw one pro with three 1L bottles BTA, each was <1/2 full (and all were filled with the same drink). Can’t find that pic, but here’s Marquardt with two.
I bought a few 950ML bottles from The Feed. I used them for the first time this weekend and I enjoyed them.

Got these in transparent - and they work really well

Trek Voda 34oz. I have two and love them.

Helpful thread by Dr Alex Harrison
For some reason bike water bottle cost a lot more in Canada than what I see advertised in the US, and I don’t trust the chemical makeup of dollar store bottles.
However I did find that Hockey water bottles are longer with more capacity and come with a convenient straw that can be bent or replaced with a longer bendable tube. And they were a little less expensive.
