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

Been Using GU pre race and during for years have not found anything that works better.

I use GU in accordance with their instructions...5 minutes to ride and every 45 minutes thereafter. It gives me that added boost to perform above and beyond by natural abilities!

Love the product many good flavors. Just the right amount to get you home.

Start my riding by consuming (1) of these gels and every hour or so take another one -- easy to carry and take while riding -- not much not to like

My new fave

During long rides I notice a big difference using the Energy Gels vs not using them. I like the flavor of the Salted Carmel.

A must have for long rides!

This is all I use for running !

Use this about 10 to 15 minutes before ride. And it will work to give you more power

Great value on a superior product. Thanks Bike Tires Direct!

so delicious, I want to eat them even off the bike

Great taste

It was a great price and I always like to have Gu for pack anytime I ride.

use for shorter rides, prefer the expresso

I have been cycling for 30 some years now, I have tried just about all the gels out there, but since I found the product GU I will not give it up.

The boost these provide is substantial. If I'm running a little low on energy they always pick me up. Taste is good. I usually get caffeinated variety's. If I'm riding by myself it is easy to eat solid foods, but if racing it is harder to do. These are very easy to open and eat when on the rivet.

taste good

I never used to eat during rides, now I do. These help maintain your output level and no more post ride hamstring cramps

I us GUs as a pre-race pickup and as an energy boost during the race. I like the portion size but the packet is sometimes a little awkward to completely clear of its contents. I'm not sure how that might be address, maybe a package that is slightly shorter and wider.

I've tried a lot of gels over the past 10 years and Gu consistently outdoes other brands for me. No weird brown rice syrup aftertaste, no sickly sweet sugar hit-just a mildly sweet gel with natural tasting flavors. Gu also sits better in my stomach (no indigestion), whether Im doing a long road race or just topping off for a short, intense cyclocross race. Lastly, Gu's caffeinated flavors (espresso love, mandarin orange) help me a lot during times on the the bike when grabbing a cup of coffee isn't an option.
