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

I've been using Gu gels for many years now and they've been my go to choice. I tried Stinger once but man did I have a serious sugar crash on those. I never crash or bonk using Gu gels and they have never caused an issue with my stomach - always remember to drink some water right after you down one. Love the addition of aminos as well. I don't find the top too cumbersome to tear with my teeth and I don't tear the top all the way open so that it doesn't go flying on to the road. As always BTD never botches the order and shipping is quick and efficient.

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 use Gu gels more than occasionally on long rides, especially when I'm close to home but still need a little more energy. It seems to make the last miles easier. I have a few flavors, with and without caffeine. I think the orange is my favorite.

GU is a great gel and the sale price was awesome.

Love the taste

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.

Great product at a good price.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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 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!!

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