Review by AnonymousReviewed 6/28/2021by AnonymousCompetitive RacerBloomington, INGu is the super gel that keeps you going! 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

Review by AnonymousReviewed 8/10/2023by AnonymousCompetitive RacerNCA great gel to have on hand. Gu isn't necessarily my favorite gel as I tend to prefer the more watery gels, but it's one I always have on hand because the value is decent and flavors are great.

Review by Steve LReviewed 8/10/2020by Steve LTri-Cities, WaMy �go to� gel!!First tried these at an aid station while riding a century. They've been my favorite gel since then. Why? They digest easily, come in a multitude of tasty flavors, and give amino acids, carbs, and even caffeine if you want or need it. I always start with one prior to riding and use one each hour if riding , when not munching on �real� food.
Tip: use the GU Roctane gel for harder climbs or longer rides. Easy on the stomach, easy to carry, and easy to use while en route. .

Review by TeedogReviewed 5/10/2020by TeedogSouth ArkansasGreat product and service.I've been using the standard GU gel packs for more years than I can remember, not only for bicycle rides but other athletic endeavors as well. It is one of the few nutritional products I have found that performs exactly as it promises, and offers diverse tasty flavors with varying caffeine levels. Great product! Biketiresdirect always offers the best prices, with free shipping, and speedy delivery dates. Year in and year out I continue to be very impressed by both.

Review by Sasanoa207Reviewed 9/2/2019by Sasanoa207Cycling EnthusiastMainePart of my anti-leg cramp routineAntidotal or scientific, you be the judge. Since I've included the GU gel in my riding routine, I have not suffered from leg cramps and my riding energy level has been great. I like the variety of flavors, the ease of opening the packages, and the convenience of stuffing the empty ones in my shirt pocket. Other than occasional sticky fingers should I come in contact with any of the gel, I give GU gels high marks.

Review by StevenReviewed 9/3/2018by StevenCycling EnthusiastRaymond,MN1 of 1 customers found this review helpful.Excellent quality for the low price!I depend on these GU energy gels for my pre-ride and recharge along the route. They are hard to find in the flavor I prefer and very expensive. Buying this box on sale beat the retail price greatly!

Review by thaneReviewed 8/20/2021by thaneCycling EnthusiastMarylandGood product, good valueOf 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.

Review by Popeye1961Reviewed 7/27/2021by Popeye1961Cycling EnthusiastPlattsburgh NYGreat for energy replenishmentI 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.
