just when you thought the whole "women's specific" thing might be taking a turn for the logical...

from CyclingNews:

Elite expand range for women's market

Elite has announced a women-specific design for its new Kit Azzurra drink bottle and cage combination. The new kit is made up of a Hydra drink bottle and a Custom Race bottle holder with an all-new design and colour scheme.

The Hydra drink bottle has a capacity of 550 ml, with an easy grip and push/pull top, while the Custom Race cage auto-regulates to the bottle's diameter.

hahaha

.......maybe we can get a real woman to review it and tell us whether it is superior to her previous, gender neutral waterbottle?

It has flowers on it, so it must be wsd!

**mimitabby** · 03-09-2008, 07:02 PM

ah, isn't that special?

**kat_h** · 03-09-2008, 07:17 PM

My husband's comment was "ribbed for her pleasure."

**Andrea** · 03-09-2008, 07:29 PM

^ Yeah, Does it have batteries and a "back massage" feature?

**Zen** · 03-09-2008, 07:44 PM

Where do you put the batteries?

**crazycanuck** · 03-09-2008, 09:01 PM

URGH..**^&*&^^^^^ WSD crap.

**uforgot** · 03-10-2008, 03:29 AM

Can someone enlighten me and tell me what is wrong with it?

**Andrea** · 03-10-2008, 04:27 AM

It's just the fact that they made a WSD water bottle. What is so non-woman-specific about a normal water bottle?? Except that they don't have flowers on them and a vague "toy-like" appearance.

**Thorn** · 03-10-2008, 05:17 AM

That goes into the same category as the pink floor pump...sigh....

**rij73** · 03-10-2008, 05:18 AM

Boy, that is tacky in the extreme... I like my bottles clear and my cages black, thank you very much.

**roadie gal** · 03-10-2008, 10:45 AM

Just looking at that makes me hear bad porn music in the background. Sheesh.

**Zen** · 03-10-2008, 10:50 AM

although this is unnecessary and kind of demeaning I think I know what they were aiming for in that the "ribbed" (what else can I call it) part makes it easier to grip and pull out of the cage.

Women are so weak

**Veronica** · 03-10-2008, 10:54 AM

I think the ribs would be useful. I often feel like my bottle is going to slip out of my hand when I'm wearing long fingered gloves.

Who uses a 500 ml bottle unless you have vehicle support?

Editing: OK, I do but only on one mtb that doesn't have space for a larger bottle and then I also wear a hydration pack. That's a pretty small niche market.
