Tip the Bottle, Not Your Head™
Tapered so you can drink to the bottom… without lifting your head. And water always flows strong with the nozzles’ vortex design, which prevents kinking when flexed. You’ll experience:
- A Safer Ride: Easily tip the bottle away from your eyes so it won’t obstruct vision.
- Aerodynamics: Cyclists can hydrate in optimal riding position – minimizing wind resistance and maximizing speed.
-
Designed for Performance
Easy to hold, control, and squeeze – even for smaller hands. Recessed grips work great in and out of cages and are textured to minimize slipping.
Style and Comfort
Nozzle and grip materials are custom formulated for softness and comfort, and grips are tailored to your hand’s natural curves. Perfect for cycling, running and other sports; and its chic design is ideal for indoor use, too.

LeakLock Valve™
Quickly open or close top with a simple twist. Then, leave open for use… Our LeakLock Valve helps prevent accidental spills and splashes when open. Locks in liquids when closed.
-
Cooler, Longer
Twist the re-freezable ice stick in or out of the bottom cap. Its elliptical shape maximizes surface area to keep cold liquids cooler longer.

The wheels of Relaj began turning in 2007 when Alex, son of principal owners, Bruce and Becky, got his first road bike. Over time, his passion for cycling grew, as did his time in the saddle and need for hydration. One day, while watching the 2008 Tour de France, Alex noticed a racer fumble for a moment while drinking from his bottle, and commented, “Why doesn’t someone invent a bottle that’s easier to drink from?” He further explained, “When I drink, I have to tip my head back, and then I can’t see the road.”
The safety implications of his comments were clear, as were the performance issues: lifting the head to drink forces a break from optimum aerodynamic riding position. While riders need to regularly hydrate to perform, cycling water bottles were creating safety issues; slowing riders down; and were tough to clean.
So, they created Relaj and set out to design a new water bottle for cycling. After more than 3 years of testing and redesigns, the Relaj bottle was born.
