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

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.

Big fan of GU. Been using it for years and never had a issue. I primarily buy Chocolate,Espresso Love and No Caffeine Peanut Butter (for late afternoon and night rides)

This is good on long rides. Use every 45 minutes to sustain your level of energy.

I have tried them all and the GU Gels by far taste the best. They are also easily digested with no gastrointestinal issues.

My rides are normally 40 miles, 2 plus hours and about two thirds in I start to fade a bit so consume a GU along with a drink. Within a few minutes my energy level picks up and I finish my rides at ease without cramping. In the heat of summer I will consume two at 40 minute intervals. Have tried all flavors and prefer the peanut butter's true flavour and easily digestible. Last year I rode 6,200 miles on my Merlin with Shimano DI2 components and turned 80.

Very tasty and easy on the gut, but too thick for waterless consumption and too light on salt for replenishment.

These gels provide the carbs and the sodium I need on my longer rides taking one about every 45 minutes.

Gels are very useful during bicycle rides. They are a good source of protein. They get what you need into your system quickly.

I've used Gu gels for 14 years on rides of 20 to 400 miles with great success. I've found them to be easy on the stomach, tasty, and easy to stow away in a pocket or saddle bag. The gels with caffeine are helpful when those last miles of a century ask for a bit of a kick in those pedals!

Taste is subjective, but out of Clif, Honey Stinger, Hammer and GU, this is probably my favorite coffee flavored gel. Leaves no crazy after taste and gives you quick energy without a crash.

Use gels during rides and other workouts.

Gels are used for nutrition boost during exercise activity.

GU Energy Gels are my "go to" energy boost...and have been for the past 27 years.

They give me boost with in 5 minutes which will last for 30 minutes (20 years ago the boost lasted 45 minutes but not now, age does change things) and then it's time to hit the GU again.

Water and GU Energy Gels are my necessity for rides.

My go-to gel for ~25 years, though some of the flavors don't agree with me at all. Most flavors are quite strong, so may want to explore other options if that's an issue for you.

Every ride is a good ride with a couple of these great gels in your pocket.

Used the Gu gels with caffeine for a 300 mile gravel race that started at midnight. These were great to keep me going just before sunup when I know my body would come back to life. Great flavor with a caffeine punch in a small easy to carry size.

I use this in a very calculated way and time my intake on every ride. It always gives me the pick up I needed

I get the desired boost of energy from these GU Gels without ever a hint of stomach distress. Never tried a flavor I didn't like.

These are some of my favorite ways to refuel while riding. Good flavors and easy to eat, although can occasionally be a little messysticky and I have to be careful about squeezing it up while riding.

My favorite flavors are caramel, vanilla, and caramel macchiato, all with caffeine.

Good taste with a boost
