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

This is my second favorite flavor and a consistent go-to for me. Try the salted caramel if you want an even sweeter (literally) gel.

Good mix of flavor without being too sweet.

I don't notice any real kick from the caffeine, but I do notice the energy kick.

I use GU to start refueling 30 miles into my ride. This workers well with my other fuel that I am eating so I don't end up bonking before I get half way through my ride. I only need to take a few of these for a century ride so I don't need to fill my pockets.

Strong s'mores taste. A little to strong for my taste, but some will love it.

I've used both the GU and GU Roctane for 5 years primarily for marathons and long training runs and these have always been reliable. The flavors are based on personal preference and it takes time getting accustomed to the taste. Definitely practice fueling at least 3 to 4 times during long runs, as I would suggest taking a gel everything 5-6 miles to start and if you need more then you can increase consumption. I have only relied on GUs and salt pills during races which have been the only fuel required to get me to the finish line. The sodium citrate (versus sodium chloride) is less acidic and easier on the stomach, but consuming too many during a long race may lead to GI distress due to the heavy consumption of the maltodrexin in these. Train appropriately, figure out your ratios and you won't have any problems. Highly recommend this product.

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

My go to and only GU i use, the Salted Caramel, going as far back as when the Sasquatch was part of the logo.

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

I use before and after a strength or cardio training session

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 taste

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

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
