I need a hydration system where it is mounted under aero bars and a straw sticks up. I have seen this. I usually shop at Nashbar or Peformance and can't find this on either web site.
What is it called? Where can I buy it?
Thanks in advance.

Cool. I didn't know there was a new bottle design.

Thanks a ton.
Also found it on the Nashbar web site. Weird it is not under hydration. Do I need the bracket? Or does it just fit between the bars on a P2C. It looks like it just lays in between the bars and not attached. Can't believe that would be stable.
If your bars are close together, most drink systems will not drop through the bars, though you may want to secure it laterally.
Profile sells a drink mounting system that can be used to mount the Profile bottle (as well as some other brands of bottles, including my Jetstream bottle). The bottle will probably come with some mounting material but if your bars are in an unusual configuration (very narrow, very wide, very close to the wheel) you'll need the mounting system.

Yes, you should get the bracket. It's far more secure. I like the "smaller" Profile Aero bottle, not the dual sided monstrosity, but if you want to put your Infinit or whatever you use in one side, water in the other, could work for you.
