Review on XLAB Torpedo Versa 200 Black by Tay Tran

Great product, easy to install and use

Great product, easy to install and use. With three 70.3 races and a few smaller ones coming up this year, I knew I had to up my drinking game. The TV200 fits my bike perfectly and allows me to drink while staying in an aerodynamic position. I had no problems with the torpedo driving on rough roads or gravel. I haven't decided yet if I'm going to use a regular lid or a quick fill lid. I noticed that the quick fill cap was a bit fiddly to put on, but it fits. Since I haven't invested in a power meter or trip computer, I've removed the Garmin arm extension for now. I was very happy to buy a "damaged box" but a new item, it saved me about $30. Update: I noticed that the torpedo wobbles on rough roads. This has happened to me on the last 2 trips. I have found that I can use a rubber band (like the LIVESTRONG band) to attach the torpedo to the frame. I haven't had any more issues since installing the extra torpedo strap.
