GUEnergy Gels (Box of 24)(Return to Product Page)

never used gels in 50 years of riding, wow they are very efficient and maintaining energy levels and Gu was no different than the others i have tried recently. I do however prefer the flavor of the Hammer Gel espresso but thats me.

I was looking for a energy gels that gives me amino acids, sodium, and caffeine in a little pack whenever I go for biking or running. Gu Energy Gels have what I need. Highly recommended!!

I�ve been using Gu gels for many years now and they�ve been my go to choice. I tried Stinger once but man did I have a serious sugar crash on those. I never crash or bonk using Gu gels and they have never caused an issue with my stomach - always remember to drink some water right after you down one. Love the addition of aminos as well. I don�t find the top too cumbersome to tear with my teeth and I don�t tear the top all the way open so that it doesn�t go flying on to the road. As always BTD never botches the order and shipping is quick and efficient.

These gels are cheap, and easily fit in jersey pockets. 2 of these per hour plus hydration does the trick, even on long rides (although you might want to mix it up with real food now and then).

I've been a long-time fan of GU Caramel Macchiato energy gel and never fail to keep a pack or two in my top-tube bike bag or the backpack for those moments when my energy dips a little. I've tried a number of other energy gel brands, but I always keep coming back to GU. They're portable, easy to open, and just the right amount of sweetness.

I especially appreciate the cost-savings I find at Bike Tires Direct, plus shipping is free! Can't beat that. I'll continue to order from Bike Tires Direct for all of my cycling/hiking needs. Thanks!

Now that Cadbury bought Cliff, they've discontinued the Cliff Shot Gels, which is a total bummer as they were the best tasting and reasonably priced.

I don't understand GUs flavors. Who wants Cola or chocolate getting all over on hot day? The Tri-berry is tolerable taste wise.

Opening the packet is a chore, especially when you're riding. The little tab is hard to open and what do you with it after you tear it off? The Cliff top was attached. GU really needs to rethink their product.

They work at a comparatively good price.

I like gels because they are easy and quick !

GU Energy Gels are a great energy supplement. I do as they suggest 1, 5 min. before the ride and another at 45 min into the ride or 1 hr. Been using them for 20 yrs & have yet to bonk if I stay properly hydrated. Any flavor you like will work equally.

These sweet and taste how they sound. I find on longer activities over (3 hours) the gu becomes a bit too sweet. I generally use these as part of a nutrition plan and not by itself. I have rebought the product

Love the Cola flavor and always excited about BTD sale prices. 5 stars!!!

I like to get a verity of brands and flavors for my gels to keep things interesting. My latest purchase was the GU mint chocolate. This flavor has a thinner texture than the other GU's. It was great! For very long rides it gets hard to put down some of the thicker GU's, but I can always put down mint chocolate. I like the easy removal tab on GU gels, though it can be tedious to properly dispose of it. The Clif gels have the leash for the tab, though it usually creates another opening.

I use GU every time I ride, every 20 to 25 minutes, getting a little over 200 calories an hour. Have been using it for over 18 years and have been buying it from BTD for nearly as long. I have tried other gel supplements but none have the punch that GU has.

Hadn�t used these in a bit and glad I have retried them! Good taste and the caffeine is a good pick me up! They seem to keep my energy even over. a long endurance ride!

Taste great, easy to use, and excellent source of carb energy to support my cycling workouts.

Great price

It doesn�t matter how well I eat or how hydrated I am, I�m exhausted after work and the commute home is sometimes awful. If I use Gu and a little bit of water and/or coffee I�m generally able to power through. It�s not a guarantee, but I feel much better climbing hills after being on my feet all day.

On long rides, GU energy gels help me to maintain energy and prevent after ride cramping

I use a variety of different flavors. This new Lemon flavor is one of my favorites. I will reorder this one as long as it is offered. If you like a non-tart lemon flavor you should give this one a try.
