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

Paired with sweet potatoes

I use GU every time I ride, every 20 to 25 minutes, getting a little over 200 calories an hour. Have been using it for over 18 years and have been buying it from BTD for nearly as long. I have tried other gel supplements but none have the punch that GU has.

Used as directed every 45 minutes, this product gives an energy boost to help fuel your efforts. I use it mainly for biking and find it very beneficial. I always use the caramel macchiato for it's consistency, flavor and caffeine content.

Now that Cadbury bought Cliff, they've discontinued the Cliff Shot Gels, which is a total bummer as they were the best tasting and reasonably priced.

I don't understand GUs flavors. Who wants Cola or chocolate getting all over on hot day? The Tri-berry is tolerable taste wise.

Opening the packet is a chore, especially when you're riding. The little tab is hard to open and what do you with it after you tear it off? The Cliff top was attached. GU really needs to rethink their product.

I've now got a few flavors of gels. Sometimes bars are too much, but I still want something, then one of these gels is just fine. I have some with caffeine and some without. Good to have the choice. I like the flavors I have purchased.

I like the flavors with added caffeine, Espresso Love and Jet Blackberry. Taste is fine and they go down easy. The caffeine is 40mg, just enough for a little lift. I've been getting these on Bike Tires Direct sales so the value is good. I have tried a number of other gels. The GU gels are among the ones I keep going back to.

GU brand gels are easier to open and eat while riding than other brands, making them good for races. I prefer the coffee/chocolate flavors to the fruity flavors. For fruity flavors I prefer Stinger brand.

I like to get a verity of brands and flavors for my gels to keep things interesting. My latest purchase was the GU mint chocolate. This flavor has a thinner texture than the other GU's. It was great! For very long rides it gets hard to put down some of the thicker GU's, but I can always put down mint chocolate. I like the easy removal tab on GU gels, though it can be tedious to properly dispose of it. The Clif gels have the leash for the tab, though it usually creates another opening.

I enjoy the favor of this gel. I picked the cola, and tasted exactly like soda. Easy on my stomach absorbs pretty quickly as long as you take it with water.

Gu energy gels are very effective, good tasting and convenient to store in standard cycling jerseys, where they can be easily used while taking a break. I would suggest flavors with higher caffeine content for those that need the extra zip.

Have had several different flavors, rasberry lemonade is still my favorite and closest to actually tasting like the flavor

Try the Double Espresso, great carbs and double caffeine. It's a boost when you need it. Great help on my endurance riding!

On long rides, GU energy gels help me to maintain energy and prevent after ride cramping

I was looking for a energy gels that gives me amino acids, sodium, and caffeine in a little pack whenever I go for biking or running. Gu Energy Gels have what I need. Highly recommended!!

never used gels in 50 years of riding, wow they are very efficient and maintaining energy levels and Gu was no different than the others i have tried recently. I do however prefer the flavor of the Hammer Gel espresso but thats me.

I like gels because they are easy and quick !

GU Energy Gels are a great energy supplement. I do as they suggest 1, 5 min. before the ride and another at 45 min into the ride or 1 hr. Been using them for 20 yrs & have yet to bonk if I stay properly hydrated. Any flavor you like will work equally.

These sweet and taste how they sound. I find on longer activities over (3 hours) the gu becomes a bit too sweet. I generally use these as part of a nutrition plan and not by itself. I have rebought the product

WOW! Not only does Gu taste amazing, it also keeps me feeling extremely strong during my races. I always need a good caffeine boost in the middle of races to get me to the end of a hard race, and this gel does the job. I love the variety of flavors that are offered, and this will be an item I continue to use

Provides a quick energy source
