Fidlock – Water Bottles and Mounts with Aha Moment

The story of Fidlock begins with Joachim Fiedler, a music student who made a virtue out of necessity. At the age of 16, he developed a carrying system for his cello case from bicycle spokes, car seat belts and tin cans – his first patent. One component of it was a magnetic mounting system for the cello bow. This not only led to the development of magnetic closures for school bags, but also laid the foundation for the Fidlock brand.

Today, more than 100 employees at Fidlock ensure intuitive, safe and innovative products. Based in Hanover, the brand operates in numerous regions around the world. Right at the forefront: the water bottle mount on the bike.

All Fidlock water bottles are made of BPA-free polyethylene and have an ergonomic design. If you press, the bottle gives you liquid quickly: The mouthpiece is optimized for efficient water intake without any dripping. So even when you're riding fast, you won't miss a thing. 

In addition, two innovative technologies make the bottles particularly relevant for modern cycling: the Twist mounting system and the Fidguard innovation for improved hygiene.

Fidlock presents a real revolution with the Twist system. The principle is simple as well as ingenious: Strong magnets pull the bottle to the Fidlock base adapter, which is attached to the bike frame, and let it lock there securely. A simple clockwise turn and the bottle is released again. The kind of Fidlock bottle cage system is not only practical, but also extremely space-saving – bulky cages that almost completely enclose the bottle are a thing of the past.

The heart of the system is the combination of magnetic force and mechanical connection. The magnets ensure comfortable handling and a firm grip, even under heavy conditions such as mountain bike racing. The mechanical snap lock holds the Fidlock water bottle securely to the frame. The result: bottle mounts with Twist technology deliver what they promise and are extremely lightweight and minimalist.

Twist technology is not limited to drinking bottles. Thanks to the modular design, you can also attach your bike lock or your bike panniers using Twist-Lock. And that's not all: the system can also be easily transferred to bags, backpacks, running belts, clothing or other textile items. A small twist with a big effect – that's Fidlock Twist.

Fidguard ensures better hygiene and a refreshing drinking experience. The technology is an innovative solution that stops bacteria growth on the inside of the Fidlock bottle. Even if you clean and dry your water bottle every time after use, some water residue, in which bacteria can form, always remains. The result is unpleasant odors. This is where the Fidguard principle comes in and eliminates bacteria in a purely physical way, without any chemical additives.

Fidlock is known primarily for magnetic closures for water bottles on the bike. However, the manufacturer also develops mounting accessories for other applications – the focus is always on the closures. Get to know two of the other numerous systems:

Fidlock Vacuum is an innovative holder for your smartphone. It consists of an inconspicuous base, which you can optionally combine with the matching phone case. The suction elements and magnets of Fidlock Vacuum securely attach your smartphone to the bike, to a tripod, in the car or wherever you want it. 

The use is intuitive and fast: You move your smartphone close to the base, it snaps securely into place and can be easily removed again at any time. Furthermore, the cases are ultra-thin, but still protect the smartphone very reliably.

With the Pinclip snap mount from Fidlock you can shoot action-packed videos during your outdoor adventures, where you can switch between different perspectives within seconds. The magnetic system allows you to quickly remove the camera from the mounting base. Locking it in place is as easy as it is secure – you save yourself the hassle of screwing and unscrewing. Pinclip is ideal for anyone who wants to capture their adventure from multiple angles without wasting time on cumbersome mounts.

The Pinclip technology is another example of innovative Fidlock mounts, constantly looking for new ways to make life easier and more exciting for adventure seekers and sports enthusiasts.
