Tailwind NutritionEndurance Fuel(Return to Product Page)

I chose the naked/unflavored mix and am pretty happy with my choice. What I prefer to do with this is add it to my aero bottle along with LMNT zero-sugar salty drink mix for race day. That way I don't get competing flavors and I can control both aspects of the hydration/fueling strategy - salt & electrolytes as well as carbohydrate. It really works for me. Obviously, I can use Tailwind anytime I'm going out for a ride. It mixes very easily. No clumps. Enjoy!

Skratch used to be my go to for long runs and bike rides but with Tailwind. You are getting more than just calories and carbs, you are also getting electrolytes. I am assuming during summer, I will have to supplement with more electrolytes depending on how hot it is but outside of that. I do not need another electrolyte supplement since Tailwind has it all. Highly recommend and buy their sampler if you do not know which flavor to get. I like them all.

It can be hard to eat enough when you are on a long, rough gravel ride. Having a bit of calories and electrolytes in a bottle has been a real game changer for me. The flavors are good - not overwhelmingly sweet.

It tastes great and works as described. I've used it before, during, after a few hot rides and experienced no cramps and no GI issues. I'll be using this regularly.

SportPerformanceEnergy products benefit athletes, others are not much more than sugar water hiding behind a bunch of marketing mumbo-jumbo. I always read the nutrient contents before I buy, and if a product contains nothing more than a little salt and a lot of sugar hiding behind technical terminology I keep looking. Recently I bought a bag of Tail Wind's Naked sport drink powder because l) the guy that makes it is a Leadville 100 finisher who put a lot of time into product testing rather than marketing spin, and 2) it's one of the few products that lists quantities for all its ingredients (sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium) on the label. This week, I used their sport drink Endurance Fuel during a 50 mile bike ride. There's no way I could test how effectively it reduced fatigue (I believe it did), but the mild flavor did not upset my stomach or get overwhelming later in the ride.

Hi,

I use Tailwind since 2015. I use it for all my rides short, long, training rides as well as ultra-cycling (multi-days race or events like Race Across France, Paris-Brest-Paris, and other 1200k). I use two to three cups by bottle depending of the weather, and the intensity of the effort. Never had any stomach issues since I start using it (that was not the case with all the other brands I tested before). When I do long events, even well supported, I always carry my own Tailwind nutrition the extra weight largely compensate for any potential gastric problems.

I highly recommend this product.

Happy riding!

I like the taste. It is not overly sweet like many other energy drinks. My energy level stays high during the ride. I highly recommend this energy drink.
