 “I've always struggled to fuel appropriately in races. Bottles can be hard to grab, especially on technical courses, so I often finish a race under-fueled. Having High Carb Fuel in my bottles is almost like an insurance policy—whenever I manage to get a drink, I'm getting a lot of carbs in. I’ve felt a lot better on the run since switching to a higher concentration, and it’s motivating to see what more I can get out of myself.”

I've been using the High Carb Fuel for my 4+ hour training rides. I have found I am riding harder and more efficiently with greater energy.

5/5 RATING

Simple, delicious, and no GI problems. The ‘spicy’ ginger part was great at preventing the fluid from becoming overly sweet.
