"This is a must-have product if you race and have ever fumbled with water bottles - or skipped drinking because of the bother. I stay MUCH better hydrated during races with Speedfil."FitnessCC
Ease of use
Awesome! What a pleasure to simply sip from the tube anytime, without having to reach for a bottle and fumble it.
Quality of Construction
Have only had it 3 months; but the screw system that locks the bottle into the cage seems a little flimsy. Otherwise fine.
Fit
Looks great and stays out of the way.
Comfort
Makes holding your position easy, while staying hydrated.
Adjustability
Not only can you cut the tubing to suit your riding position; but the neoprene sleeve with wire allows you to bend it to almost any position.
Durability
So far so good.
Value
Any system that works this well, and saves so much effort, is worth the premium price.
Appearance
I get comments at every race.
Performance
A pleasure while riding.
Strengths
This bottle holds the equivalent of 2 regular bottles, while being perfectly aero and eliminating the need to reach for and fumble with bottles. It's easy to fill. The tubing can be positioned anywhere easily (once assembled).
Weakness
ASSEMBLY! The manufacturer should put the tubing into the sleeve - I'd pay extra to save the time/frustration of that process. The included ties (for tubing) are useless, if you want to remove the tubing for cleaning. The tubing is a little harder to clean than a standard system.

Ease of installation
The only problem with Speedfil is the nuisance of setting it up. Getting the tubing into the (extremely tight) neoprene sleeve (which allows positional adjustment) literally took more than an hour. Also, the plastic lock-ties sent to secure the tubing are silly: I've used velcro strips to secure the tubing, which allows me to remove and clean the tube after each use.
