Going long? Take more. It’s that simple. Gel 160 is for athletes who want more energy in each gel. In endurance sport — to maintain performance — it’s important to fuel regularly. Every fueling moment needs to count. And the further you go, the more carbs you need to sustain performance. Gel 160 helps athletes achieve the right amount of carbs per hour with proven Hydrogel Technology — no matter the situation.
The longer the race. The further the training session. The more time flies. It's easy to forget — to miss — your fueling. It's a quirk of endurance sport that, sometimes, the more time we have to think, the less we focus on doing the right thing. And yet — here's the crunch — the longer we're out there, the more important fueling becomes. When the racing is hectic, when opportunities to stop are less frequent, when you've got your head down — pushing on — fueling gets neglected. “I'll eat at the top of the climb. I'll eat when I stop next. I'll eat when I catch the person ahead.” Good intentions — but time passes. The kilometres pass. And before you realise, the fatigue has caught up with you instead. Gel 160 is more energy in each sachet — 40 grams. Fuel when you can. Still get enough carbs per hour.
Gel 100 and Gel 160 use the same patented Maurten Hydrogel Technology with the same ratio of fructose and glucose — 0.8:1. Gel 100 has 25 grams of carbohydrates and Gel 160 has 40 grams. Both sizes are interchangeable, depending on the training or racing situation. It’s a system that enables athletes to fine-tune their fueling strategy.
Enabling smooth transportation of carbohydrates through the stomach to the intestine, where they absorbed — Hydrogel Technology gives you a fast and substantial supply of energy that your body can tolerate. Refine your fueling strategy to best suit the training and race situation. The Maurten Fuel Guides have been carefully designed by our Sports Scientists to deliver the right product at the right time in order to optimize carbohydrate intake across a range of sports and intensities.
Energy supply during competitions has always been a challenge for endurance athletes. Due to the intensive strain, the body needs energy, whereby consuming high amounts of carbohydrates during physical effort can result in slower gastric emptying and GI distressat. In collaboration with numerous universities and top athletes, Maurten has developed a new method to drastically increase the amount of carbohydrates supplied through hydrogel technology without any side effects for digestion. From a technical perspective, traditional gels are water and carbohydrates simply mixed into syrups, often containing added flavors and preservatives.
Consume the gel minutes before, during and/or directly after activity.
