Xlab Torpedo Versa 500 Front Hydration System (Airflow Red)

The Xlab Torpedo Versa 500 (Airflow Red) is a premium front hydration system designed for triathletes and time trial cyclists who demand aerodynamic efficiency, convenience, and performance. Featuring an award-winning telescoping computer mount, this innovative hydration setup allows riders to switch seamlessly between a refill bottle configuration for race day and a standard bottle setup for training rides. The advanced Super-Sealed™ bottle design prevents leaks even on rough roads, while SecureClip™ brackets provide a clean and stable installation without the need for zip ties or tape. Its aerodynamic bottle shape helps reduce drag, and the adjustable mounting system fits a wide range of aerobar configurations. Built with a lightweight carbon mount and engineered for stability, the Torpedo Versa 500 delivers reliable hydration access and optimal bike computer visibility throughout every ride.
