The Showers Pass® VelEau™ 42 Is Bike Mounted Hydration System

The Showers Pass® VelEau™ 42 bike mounted hydration system promises an alternative way of providing water to mountain bikers and takes load off their backs. Currently the more popular hydration system involves a bottle mounted on the chassis of the bike. The VelEau will be an ideal choice for mountain, road, triathlon, touring and recreational cycling. The backpack style hydration pack will soon be a thing of past.

And as we guessed it, the VelEau hydration system is an invention of an engineering-cum-cycling aficionado who faced a serious need of such system while preparing for a 100 mile mountain bike race, in the middle of summer. The system he developed carries 42 ounces of water and sits under the saddle. The system also features two patent pending retractable reels which allow easy access to the tube and also keeps them safe during the ride. The reels utilize tough 3-ply nylon parachute cord along with supporting magnets which keep the tube in proper position on the bike.
