I'm a big fan of Fidlock's Twist magnetic bottle system, but the price makes it a hefty investment. So 30% off the 750ml bottle and base in this deal at Alpinetrek makes it a much more appealing solution.
I’ve been using Fidlock’s magnetic bottles for years on a number of different bikes and it’s a brilliant system that has been totally secure even on the roughest descents. We gave the original model a score of 10 out of 10 in our Fidlock Twist Bottle and Base review.
Fidlock systems usually don’t come cheap, but I’ve found a great deal at Alpinetrek with a 30% discount on the Twist 750 Compact Bottle and Base that saves £13.78. I’ve been checking prices and this is the lowest price available on this model.
Fidlock Twist 750 Compact Bottle and Base, was £45.95, now £32.17.

If you’ve already got a Fidlock base and want a spare bottle, Alpinetrek also has deals on standalone models. The Twist 750 Compact Bottle is reduced from £39.95 to £25.97, and there’s a range of other bottles and bases with 30% to 35% off.
The Compact Fidlock models are ideal for full-sus frames
While a wide range of Fidlock bottle sizes and shapes are available these days, the Compact bottles are best for MTB as they’re wider and shorter than traditional models, which means you can run a larger capacity bottle in the limited frame space of most full-suspension bikes.
Peaty’s also uses the Fidlock system for its X Fidlock Lockin’ Bottle which is squeezier than the original version.
