Super sweet
I've grown to using primarily the Naked flavor of Tailwind for ultra events and long (4+ hr) training rides the last few years so I was excited to try the high carb version. Most events I was starting with 75g of carbs in my bottles anyway so the 90 didn't seem a big jump.
#1 It'll keep you fueled—for a 200-mile race across Michigan I used only high carb for the first 7 hours and felt fresh the whole time
#2 I think it tastes sweeter and better than OG Naked (which makes sense) the only downside from that is any spillage (and the new recycled paper spoons are horrible for this) down the side of the bottle will cake your frame and hand and cockpit in a sticky mess. Having not used any high carb mix since 2018, I can't remember if they all do this but the Tailwind-supplied spoon does not help.

So far work great if you have gut sensitivities
Dialing in fueling for middle distance triathlon has been a sport all on its own. Especially when taking into account having an IBD and avoiding things that trigger colitis flares. So far tailwind High Carb has sat great in the stomach on the the bike and set me up to start off strong in the run. It's taken some dialing in to see what will work for me to hit the carbs I can handle and that get me through 50+ miles but I think we're finally there. It allows me to get the fuel and stay hydrated which was becoming a challenge when we thought all my carbs were going to need to come from solid sources after finding out my go to mix was triggering my gut. A mix of the flavors and the Naked provides a subtle flavor that goes down easy and sits just fine. We'll see how it does in my next race on Sunday 9/20.

Better flavor and density
I've been using Endurance Fuel in a high concentration (500-700 calories/1l water), so I'm used to a denser fuel. What makes the High Carb mix better is how much lighter the taste is and the drink feels less heavy.
I only give 4 stars because it is harder to get the High Carb to dissolve at the same ratio as Endurance Fuel. My fix was to use a handheld milk frother.

Great product
I used this last weekend on my long ride , and it worked well.
I like that I do not have to concentrate my bottles to get the amount of calories and carbs I need/use for long workouts.
I have been struggling with finding a new product that works for me.
I am looking forward to my century ride this weekend and to use this new product.

FAQs

What are the benefits of high carb intake?

Carbohydrates = energy. When done properly, taking in 90+ grams of carbs per hour can deliver increased energy, reduce perceived exertion and lower markers of muscle damage so you can push harder, for longer.
Why do I need to train my body to absorb High Carb Fuel?

The typical limit for carbohydrate absorption without training your gut is around 60g per hour. To avoid GI distress, we recommend slowly increasing your carbohydrate intake over a period of several weeks. Think of it as building to a peak for your most important events, just like you do in training.
How do I train my body to absorb 90g of carbohydrates per hour?

We recommend using the timeline below to increase your tolerance for carbohydrates. Train with High Carb Fuel during your high intensity training sessions and workouts that mimic the event you are training for. For lighter or recovery workouts, stick with Rapid Hydration or Endurance Fuel.
Week 1: One packet of High Carb Fuel over 90 minutes
Week 2: One packet over 80 minutes
Week 3: One packet over 70 minutes
Week 4: One packet over 60 minutes
What are the differences between High Carb Fuel and Endurance Fuel?
Endurance Fuel:
- 50g of carbohydrates, 200 calories and 610mg of sodium per single serving packet
- Steady energy is provided by non-GMO dextrose (glucose) and cane sugar
- Easily absorbed without gut training/very low GI risk
- Complete electrolytes
- Clean, light flavors; less sweet than HCF
- Intended for sustained long duration efforts over one hour in length
High Carb Fuel:
- 90g of carbohydrates, 360 calories and 660mg of sodium per single serving packet
- Energy is provided by dextrose (glucose), maltodextrin, and fructose
- Complete electrolytes
- Gut training required
- Higher sweetness than Endurance Fuel
- Intended for high intensity efforts when maximizing energy uptake is critical
When should I use High Carb Fuel?

Use High Carb Fuel during high intensity training and racing when you need to sustain a high work rate.
How do I use High Carb Fuel?

Mix one packet with 16-24oz (500-750ml) of water, shake and go! Sip regularly over one hour. High Carb Fuel can also be mixed at the lower range of the water recommendation in a more concentrated form. If using it as a concentrate, make sure to drink plenty of water in addition to your High Carb mixture.
What are the carbohydrates in High Carb Fuel?

High Carb Fuel contains dextrose (glucose), maltodextrin and fructose. Dextrose and fructose are simple sugars which absorb quickly, while maltodextrin provides additional glucose and minimizes sweetness. This formula provides a pleasant flavor profile and mixes easily in water.
Can I mix High Carb Fuel with other products to increase the sodium content?

Tailwind High Carb Fuel contains 680mg of sodium per serving which should be enough, even for heavy sweaters. We recommend increasing water intake before adding more electrolytes to maintain the balance between water and electrolytes in your bloodstream.
Can I use High Carb Fuel with gels or other Tailwind Products?

High Carb Fuel is meant to be a complete source for energy, electrolytes and calories. Since High Carb Fuel maximizes absorption via the glucose and fructose transports, adding gels or other drink mixes to your fueling program increases the risk of GI distress from incomplete absorption.
