New rizoma fluid res.

Rizoma NEXT Fluid Reservoir- Medium
These fluid tank represent a new and absolutely unconventional line, which re-interprets a purely functional concept of this element and turns it into a distinct object . The use of different materials and surface finishings helps to create a contrast of colours, lights and reflections by amplifying its simple and clean lines and gives it a very elegant and a completely new form. Developed in three different sizes, it can be used for any type of application.


I like the finish, but I dont know about the rest. A smaller viewing window I tihnk would serve it well. I guess looking unique is the idea

<small version

It's nice to have something that looks different. You know, change it up every now and then. How many of those do you really see used? It might not necessarily mean that they aren't any good, just that no one's tried them yet.

Although, I don't know if I like that they seem to be kind of wide. IMO, small is good, especially up by/on the clip-ons. That's just me.

I've see the smaller ones on bikes, but I'd love to see pics of the larger ones on someone's bike.
