Review by Mark Denney
I use the gels for a quick energy boost on my training and group rides. No need to stop as the are easily accessible from my pockets and to eat while riding.

Go easy on these as they can cause stomach issues. Maurten gels are more expensive but better.

I have been using Gu's for years ... but the liquid gel is easier to digest and consume on the run. Love the coke flavor!

I've been using GU Vanilla Bean for about 30 years, and although I've tried, and liked other flavors, I NEVER have tired of Vanilla Bean! Tastes great, and GU WORKS!

Use this while cycling or day hiking
Tastes somewhat medicinal.
Review by DaveEye
Been using GU gels (no caffeine) for years and they are the only gels I use. I find the consistency perfect. Some complain theyre too thick but I disagree with that. Ive tried the runny types and I spillt more,on my gloves than went into my mouth. Most importantly they are easy to digest and they dont cause me to crash. Buy them.

This is a great product for sustained energy. Be certain to purchase the GU with caffeine as was recommended by a friend of mine who is a personal trainer. Follow the directions to take one approx. every 45 minutes and you can push your effort. I never tired during a 50 mile bike ride in the Adirondacks and I attribute that to this product.

I use this on longer rides and I chose the non-caffeine flavor of strGawberry/banana. Good taste and does provide a boost when energy is running low.
Review by Cyclingmasterseller
I used to prefer this gel over the more liquidy PowerBar gels, but not any longer.
All in all, this is a very good product, but I find it just a little tough to swallow, it's so gooey, it's almost like slugging down raw honey or something?
Pros It works to keep you moving and definitely helps you get up that next big hill or to keep up in your paceline after a long day in the saddle.
Cons A little on the gooey side.

I've been using these gels for a while now. I find they always enhance my performance and endurance. Be sure to get the ones with caffeine.

I have been using GU for a couple of years now...it just works well for me by giving me that extra boost when needed and also sustaining my efforts in the mean time

Sometimes you want solid Clif Bar food on a ride and other times a tasty gel. Salt & Watermelon tastes great and friends like it when we trade gel flavors during nutrition/hydration stops.

Been Using GU pre race and during for years have not found anything that works better.
Review by bhroadie
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!
Review by Andy
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.
