Hammer NutritionHammer Gel (26 Servings)(Return to Product Page)

Tastiest product for what it is. A quick boost of energy prior or during a race.

Great taste, great energy boost. The refill bottle is great to use with a flask, and less waste, less chance of polluting the environment.

Switched to this product and found it hits a little softer than others. Will continue to use it.

I have no problem with the product itself, just the packaging. I assume it is designed to fill a flask to take on a ride. I tried that, but the product is too thick and does not flow out of the flask. You end up with a flask of liquid that is inaccessible on the ride.

I love these jugs... and especially getting them from Western Bike Works. The price per serving keeps me coming back to order them here all the time. During a race event putting the gel in a flask is by far the fastest way to get some fuel... providing minimal time having a hand off the bar and not having to fuss with tearing open a gel pack.

I use Hammer Gel every time I go out and cycle. I take a swig, and I am good to go for about 10 miles! I make sure I take it every 10 miles. I have done numerous centuries with this product and I swear by it. Before I found Hammer Gel I would run out of steam a lot. This product is far superior to any other gel or bar out there.

Im 72 years old. I train on Zwift nearly daily, amassing 1000+ miles per month. I've ditched the spoon and fork as and energy souce, that's for recovery. I power my rides exclusively with products like Hammer Gel. I can measure more precisley entake and know exactly when to grab my refill pouch. With Hammer Gel I NEVER hit the low-energy wall. I have learned to refuel before the lag and even if I hit a dip, I take a sip and ten

minutes later all cylinders firing.

This and Perpeteum have been my go-to fuels for longer rides and races for twenty years. Goes down easy and is fairly economical when you buy the jugs on sale. Using a flask is far easier than trying to tear open packets in the heat of battle.

A good deal if you grab some hammer gel flasks, and can handle refilling your own flasks. There are rumors that if you are on the trails in forest park, you might see a wild eyed man with very short hair downing a whole bottle of the espresso flavor.

I pair the Hammer bulk gels with the Hammer carrying flask, primarily because it's far easier to use during races than trying to open individual gels. In this respect it works perfectly, and I can add anywhere from 1-5 gels, mix with a little water/juice, and add a bit of caffeine powder if I choose. The fact that it's cheaper per serving than pre-packaged gels is also a plus. The only point of note I have is with the Montana Huckleberry - the flavor is good, however it's got seeds in it which make squeezing it through the flask nozzle slightly more challenging. Overall a great system that I will continue to use.

Bladder is a bit large for pocket

Not worth the effort to fill ballder

I use this for any ride over 25 miles. I dilute it a bit with water in the flask. The flask is the way to go cuz there is less trash and the cost per ounce is less and no messy fingers ! Single servings are NOT the way to go folks. Just try it.

Tastes good, doesn't cause me any distress and the reusable gel flask is much easier to deal with than individually wrapped gels. Two flasks is the equivalent of 10 gels and I get home with no sticky pockets.

I use this when I need a quick energy boost before rides or runs. The espresso flavor is tasty, not overly sweet, and seems less viscous than some other gels (thus, easier to take without water). The espresso flavor has 50mg of caffeine, which is just enough caffeine when I don't have time to slug a real pre-workout espresso. Hammer's big bottles are cheaper on a per serving basis than individual sachets, and let you take as much or little as you want without the fuss and litter of individual sachets.

I use the flask and add a tiny bit of water to make it less vicious. The flask is the way to go. just make sure you close the top !

Very happy with this gel! I got the espresso with caffeine. It tastes like you're drinking Hershey's chocolate syrup which I love. Gives you an almost immediate burst of energy. Would definitely recommend it.

This product works well. You will not feel a rush of energy, but rather a steady, even level of energy.

In addition, Hammer gel flavors, at least the ones I've tried,orange,tropical and raspberry are not terribly sweet. Lastly, even though this is not important to some, it may be to others, these are vegan products.

Vanilla flavor is a little strange tasting, but other flavors are much better. In my opinion, these gels are better than GU.

I really like being able to carry one or two gel-flasks for a long ride and have not have to deal with individual gels and the wrappers.

The consistency isn't too thick and I like most of the flavours.

I use gels for nutrition on longer rides in place of more solids as I have digesting the solids. The Hammer product provides the calories and electrolytes that I need. Buying in bulk and using the hammer reusable bottle saves a great deal of money and helps protect the environment by eliminating the foil packet trash.

The downsides to the combo 1) the bottle has a protective cap and a VERY tight pop top makoing it difficult to use while in motion and 2) the last few servings are a little more difficult to get out of the reuseable bottle. This is overcome by adding a bit of drink from your water bottle prior to starting out making more of a liquidized gel.
