Pretty much what you'd expect, like a gooey peppermint patty. Would buy again!

Gu has always given me a boost, the price gave me even more of a good boost
Review by thane
Of all of the energy gels, GU are consistently my favorite. I don't think they work any better or worse than anyone else's product. I just prefer the flavor and consistency of GU gels to the other options.

I like the cola mid- or immediately post-ride to ward off the bonk demons :)

I use this product as a snack when on rides of two hours or less
Review by Popeye1961
I use this product as directed, taking 1 every 45 minutes during my rides. I prefer the ones with caffeine that my friend who is a personal trainer recommended. Helps to keep me fueled and stave off cramps.

I like the gu for a snack on one hour rides
Review by Peter in St. Louis
I usually buy the "Chocolate Outrage" version because, well, I like chocolate. I'm glad I tried the Tri-Berry . . . it goes down more easily (always need a good drink of water after the chocolate, and some after Tri-Berry, but less so) and the taste is just fine.

A good boost on a 50 mile ride.
I use 2 Gu's and if I haven't eaten recently I have a Cliff Bar too.
That keeps my energy up on the last 45 min home stretch.

I rode across the country last year and lived on those gels. I tried them all and GU is the best. Great tastes and good consistency. Not too solid and not too liquid. Eat one every ten miles and the engine keeps going.

I always enjoy a Gel while stretching out & hydrating before a ride. Then another at some point along my bicycling route. They seem to give me a bit of an edge during my rides. Buying them by the box guarantees I'll have them even when they are unavailable at sports stores or my local bicycle shop. Mandarin orange seems to be a popular flavor and absent from stores.

I fell an energy boost about 10 mins. after one of these on a 30 mile ride.

These are as good as Clif Shots.

convenient easy to carry energy for the long rides. only slight draw back is carrying sandwich bag for empties as I am not a litter bug (can not stand them). Cola flavor makes me think of RC Cola.

Best gel on the market
Review by Frankie
The numbers don't lie. Speed
Increased .7 mph while hawing this as directed.
I use it every ride. I thought coconut water was best. Maybe it is. But I'm so impressed with this stuff. I bought 2 big boxes.
Review by Frankie
I was doubtful at first but the numbers don't lie. My average speed increased .6 mph while using this stuff as directed. Taste great. The caffeine boost is nice. I always swore coconut water is best. But this with the coconut water seems to work great. I bought 2 big boxes of this stuff. I use it every ride.

I've been using these gels for a few years now. I enjoy the flavor and the energy boost they deliver! Great product!
