On a long ride I like having these in my jersey pocket . I never would have thought these could provide energy to finish the ride / make the goal . I've not had one I didn't like ; I was apprehensive of salted watermelon but it is one of my favorites . The only thing I don't like is sticky fingers that cause sticky brake levers and shifters , but I'm willing to deal with it . It's hard to let sticky fingers get the better of good energy and good bicycle rides .
As well as having the option of flavor and caffeine level, these gels really suit my digestion system. Taken as suggested they have powered me through my first century in 20 years and a recent hilly metric.
I used these energy gels specifically during my last Century ride to see what kind of impact they would have on my riding and I was pleasantly surprised. This last Century was one of the easiest 100 milers I've completed and felt I could do more.
Chocolate and coffee are tasty but the fruit flavors are a great way to mix it up when you�re riding a little further . They are easy �eat� while riding on dirt or rough pavement .
a go-to product that is reliable and tasty. couldn't pass up such a good deal
I didn't think I liked buying in bulk but the variety box was a great way to get to know other flavors that I had not tried . It was nice to not have to rush to the store the night before a longer ride .
I use Gu for relatively short bike rides of 100Km (62.1 miles) or less. It gives a quick burst of energy needed before pulling my local bike club at 20+ mph. So that I don't get tired of individual flavors, I like the variety pack.
GU is my go-to fuel for everyday rides. If it's super cold out, or I need a quick push, I'll take the extra caffeine flavors (40mg), which really help. I've become a fan of all the flavors, and enjoy the variety packs. For long endurance/intense activity rides use their "Roctane" mix.
I like these gels a lot. They do the work, are ok with stomach, and pack small.
I have tried all sorts of gels and I like mixed box because you can sample them all and then just order the exact ones you like best.
I liked them all. Not one was bad.
One of the big concern with gels are it's taste and texture. It's not for everybody but I find gels easy to consume on the go. It can be messy and sticky. The taste is not bad. Not overly sweet and the different flavors of this box keeps you interested.
This mixed box sports great tasting flavors, even the watermelon. If you're a GU fan like me, you won't be disappointed in this selection of flavors.
I first used GU gels in long distance running so stuck with them when I started cycling far enough to need mid ride fueling. I like the mix of flavors in the "Indulgent" box and buying in bulk is easier on the wallet. I find them very easy to eat, and the small size makes them equally easy to carry in a jersey pocket.
These gels are a great option to give you the energy boost you need without filling you up. I alternate these with protein bars, bananas, etc. to keep the fuel coming while keeping digestion down.
Can't beat this price and a great combo of flavors.
I use this product not only on bike rides but also at the gym. Gives you that push we all sometimes need. Great tasting. Alot of people aren't happy with the consistency but the GU is worth it for that energy pick me up.
Caramel, Expresso, Chocolate, Vanilla. The energy burst is obvious in a few pedal strokes. I always carry one on a ride.
Been using these for years. Depending on ride length, I choose with or without caffeine accordingly. They offer me quick energy when needed or wanting to push more miles. I do not get stomach upset from these. Easy to consume while riding too.
This product is a great source of energy. It boosts us up quickly, keep endurance and is tasty
GU tastes good, replenishes what I need during a hard ride, and is easy to pack. The variety pack gives me options for flavors and caffeine levels. Other than being sticky as heck if you get it on your fingers I give it two thumbs up.
