Carbs Fuel Gels - Original

Why We Like 'Em
Most energy gels taste like dessert and sit like a brick. This one doesn't try to be anything other than fuel — seven ingredients, no gelling agents, no artificial flavor, just a thin, easy-to-swallow carb hit that won't fight you three hours into a climb. That matters more than usual around here, where a ride out toward the Continental Divide or an afternoon in the saddle during monsoon season can turn into a longer day than planned. Neutral, slightly citrusy, and just as easy to choke down at hour one as hour six.

• • •

• 50g carbohydrate per 1.86 fl oz (55mL) packet — a full hour's worth of fuel in one gel, not a half-measure
• 7 simple ingredients — water, maltodextrin, sucrose, fructose, citric acid, sodium citrate, sodium chloride, nothing else to digest
• 2:1 glucose-to-fructose ratio — dual carb sources for faster absorption than single-source sugar gels
• No gelling agents or preservatives — easier on sensitive stomachs late into a long ride
• Thin, low-viscosity consistency — goes down easy with or without water, even when you're breathing hard
• Vegan and gluten-free — works for pretty much anyone's fueling plan
