Review by PanzonReviewed 10/17/2023by PanzonCycling Enthusiastaustin , TXyum , yumOn a long ride I like having these in my jersey pocket . I never would have thought these could provide energy to finish the ride / make the goal . I've not had one I didn't like ; I was apprehensive of salted watermelon but it is one of my favorites . The only thing I don't like is sticky fingers that cause sticky brake levers and shifters , but I'm willing to deal with it . It's hard to let sticky fingers get the better of good energy and good bicycle rides .

Review by Geoff BraceReviewed 5/8/2023by Geoff BraceWestern NCVariety is the spice of bike lifeAs well as having the option of flavor and caffeine level, these gels really suit my digestion system. Taken as suggested they have powered me through my first century in 20 years and a recent hilly metric.

Review by Joel_CAReviewed 11/3/2023by Joel_CANorcalGreat taste and immediate boostI used these energy gels specifically during my last Century ride to see what kind of impact they would have on my riding and I was pleasantly surprised. This last Century was one of the easiest 100 milers I've completed and felt I could do more.

Review by PanzonReviewed 12/22/2023by Panzonaustin , tx In the PocketChocolate and coffee are tasty but the fruit flavors are a great way to mix it up when you�re riding a little further . They are easy �eat� while riding on dirt or rough pavement .

Review by PanzonReviewed 8/21/2023by PanzonCycling EnthusiastAustin , TXthis is the best way to purchase GU gelsI didn't think I liked buying in bulk but the variety box was a great way to get to know other flavors that I had not tried . It was nice to not have to rush to the store the night before a longer ride .

Review by billwtx22Reviewed 7/27/2023by billwtx22Cycling EnthusiastHouston, TXGreat variety pack of GuI use Gu for relatively short bike rides of 100Km (62.1 miles) or less. It gives a quick burst of energy needed before pulling my local bike club at 20+ mph. So that I don't get tired of individual flavors, I like the variety pack.

Review by GregSReviewed 3/27/2023by GregSCycling EnthusiastBeaverton My go-to everyday fuelGU is my go-to fuel for everyday rides. If it's super cold out, or I need a quick push, I'll take the extra caffeine flavors (40mg), which really help. I've become a fan of all the flavors, and enjoy the variety packs. For long endurance/intense activity rides use their "Roctane" mix.

Review by PadsReviewed 7/1/2022by PadsWarren, miJelly taste and textureOne of the big concern with gels are it's taste and texture. It's not for everybody but I find gels easy to consume on the go. It can be messy and sticky. The taste is not bad. Not overly sweet and the different flavors of this box keeps you interested.

Review by AnonymousReviewed 5/19/2022by AnonymousCycling EnthusiastSouthern MaineEasy to carry and easy to eatI first used GU gels in long distance running so stuck with them when I started cycling far enough to need mid ride fueling. I like the mix of flavors in the "Indulgent" box and buying in bulk is easier on the wallet. I find them very easy to eat, and the small size makes them equally easy to carry in a jersey pocket.

Review by RobertReviewed 1/14/2021by RobertSt Petersburg, FL1 of 1 customers found this review helpful.Some flavors better than others, but work wellBeen using these for years. Depending on ride length, I choose with or without caffeine accordingly. They offer me quick energy when needed or wanting to push more miles. I do not get stomach upset from these. Easy to consume while riding too.

Review by SasanoaReviewed 9/18/2020by SasanoaCycling EnthusiastMaineLove my GUGU tastes good, replenishes what I need during a hard ride, and is easy to pack. The variety pack gives me options for flavors and caffeine levels. Other than being sticky as heck if you get it on your fingers I give it two thumbs up.

Review by AnonymousReviewed 7/16/2020by AnonymousCycling Enthusiast1 of 1 customers found this review helpful.Gu is great!I use these on longer rides, and usually have one tucked away in case of emergencies (the dreaded bonk). Easy to use, great flavors, fast shipping from BTD! Vanilla bean is my favorite, but they are all so tasty.
