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

I was doubtful at first but the numbers don't lie. My average speed increased .6 mph while using this stuff as directed. Taste great. The caffeine boost is nice. I always swore coconut water is best. But this with the coconut water seems to work great. I bought 2 big boxes of this stuff. I use it every ride.

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.

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!

Love the product many good flavors. Just the right amount to get you home.

Start my riding by consuming (1) of these gels and every hour or so take another one -- easy to carry and take while riding -- not much not to like

My new fave

During long rides I notice a big difference using the Energy Gels vs not using them. I like the flavor of the Salted Carmel.

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 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.

A must have for long rides!

My go to GU, love the flavor and the double caffeine!!! Being in AZ summer ride get warm and some GU's are hard to stomach or even get down this is quit the treat...

This is all I use for running !

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.

I use GU to start refueling 30 miles into my ride. This workers well with my other fuel that I am eating so I don't end up bonking before I get half way through my ride. I only need to take a few of these for a century ride so I don't need to fill my pockets.

Been using this for years love it.

Strong s'mores taste. A little to strong for my taste, but some will love it.

I've used both the GU and GU Roctane for 5 years primarily for marathons and long training runs and these have always been reliable. The flavors are based on personal preference and it takes time getting accustomed to the taste. Definitely practice fueling at least 3 to 4 times during long runs, as I would suggest taking a gel everything 5-6 miles to start and if you need more then you can increase consumption. I have only relied on GUs and salt pills during races which have been the only fuel required to get me to the finish line. The sodium citrate (versus sodium chloride) is less acidic and easier on the stomach, but consuming too many during a long race may lead to GI distress due to the heavy consumption of the maltodrexin in these. Train appropriately, figure out your ratios and you won't have any problems. Highly recommend this product.

My go to and only GU i use, the Salted Caramel, going as far back as when the Sasquatch was part of the logo.
