Why do you need a kettle?

Many people may be in a normal and chronic state of dehydration without realizing it. We often overlook what our bodies remind us of. Even a dehydration state of less than 1% of body weight can cause harm to the body in the long run; If it exceeds 1%, exercise performance will decrease. For a person weighing 66 kilograms, when they start feeling thirsty, their body has already lost 660 milliliters of water, which will affect their exercise performance. But you will find that during mid to high intensity cycling, water loss is rapid, so quickly replenishing water is crucial.

Dehydration percentage (=dehydration amount/initial body weight)

0% None;

1% begin to feel thirsty;

1% feel extreme thirst/increase in blood concentration/feeling oppressive in the body;

4% experience nausea, nausea, loss of muscle economic efficiency/onset of heat exhaustion symptoms/psychological loss of patience to continue cycling (autonomous emotional fluctuations);

6% begin to experience symptoms of heat exhaustion/headaches/stumbling in the palm, arms, and feet, causing tingling sensation. The body temperature, pulse count, and heart rate continue to rise;

8% begin to experience dizziness/blurred consciousness;

10% loss of consciousness/strong muscle cramps throughout the body;

15% inability to swallow/urinate accompanied by severe pain/loss of hearing and touch;

20% is the minimum limit for maintaining life.

(Dehydration scale: warnings issued by the body during various stages of dehydration)

So how do you choose the size of a kettle?

Ride at a height of 40km/h and replenish 800cc of water per hour.

Moderate cycling/speed of 30km/h, requiring 600cc of water replenishment per hour.。

Mild cycling/speed of 20km/h, requiring 300-400cc of water replenishment per hour

The amount of water that needs to be replenished per hour varies depending on the intensity of cycling. For situations where cycling intensity is high or there is no replenishment midway, it is recommended to equip large capacity water bottles or even multiple water bottles.
