at 58 and 5000 miles a year for years you would think i would have tried gels by now... well actually this is the first time I have purchased any and I got both espresso and apple cinnamon Hammer Gels. both actually taste pretty good. More importantly, they actually work. i don't feel the buzz-and-crash of a sugary drink or snack food. I cant believe I haven't tried these before now.

Hammergel tastes great and is not filled with sugar and caffeine. I have tried the Chocolate, Vanilla, Raspberry and Apple Cinnamon. It is perfect fuel for cycling.

This is the only gel that provides me consistent energy with no sugar crash and no digestive issues. I've tried them all.

I have used these for years. My better half uses them when she runs too. We both tried the newer thinner gels that are getting popular right now and both came to the same conclusion. The others work okay but you crash hard with them so you better be ready to keep pumping them in once you start. The Hammer Gel's have no sugar so we don't seam to crash after taking one. It will just get used up and you can take another or just ride on in tired. When the other thin ones we tried gets used up you better take another one or it isn't going to be fun getting home. If I am 8-10 miles from home I hate to burn a Gel just to get home on a solo ride, with Hammer I don't have to.

Used this product for years. Hammer Nutrition works. Use it during a ride or a long run, while competing or training. You will not be disappointed. Buying a 24 pack of one flavor is a commitment. But if you know what flavor you like, no worries.

I try to find gels at $1 each or less. Unfortunately sometimes they are on sale for a reason. These were nearly that price and are very good - if you like chocolate. I'll buy again if the price is right.

The chocolate, raspberry and vanilla are the types I tried. The flavors tastes great, kept me energized and did not upset my stomach.

I have always enjoyed Hammer products and the Gel is no exception. Very convenient to take on the bike and easy to digest. Works great for that mid ride boost.

My go to for gels on longer or hotter rides of more than 2 hrs. Nice boost & almost no sugar. Really like all the different flavors but, Expresso is my favorite.

Very easy on the stomach and fast absorption.
Review by Dan
I like the flavor but especially what it does to me on long rides...energy when needed and doesn't hurt my stomach. But beware, this flavor makes me gassy. Not sure if it's just me though. Other hammer flavors, I have no problem at all but this one is different. Maybe an extra turbo during my sprints. Lol!

Volunteers were handing out these gels during the run portion of a tri and that Montana Huckleberry flavor really hit the spot. I've tried GU, Clif, and Hammer's gels and like Hammer's the best. Apple-Cinnamon, Espresso, and (Montana) Huckleberry are my favorites and make excellent jelly replacements in PB&J's. They taste good, provide quick energy, sit well, and are available in bottles so you don't need to keep dozens of pouches around.
Seriously, make a peanut butter & jelly sandwich with the Apple-Cinnamon gel. Don't let your kids try it though - this stuff is like rocket fuel for toddlers.

I use one hour out on ride and 15 minutes before any sprint work
