Why Choose Maurten Gel 160?

Maurten Gel 160 provides 40g of carbohydrates per sachet from glucose and fructose in a 1:0.8 glucose-to-fructose ratio. It provides more carbohydrate in each serving than Maurten Gel 100, which contains 25g per sachet.

The larger carbohydrate serving makes Gel 160 particularly useful for longer endurance training and racing, or situations where you prefer to carry fewer gels while still consuming a substantial amount of carbohydrate.

How Maurten Hydrogel Technology Works

Maurten Gel 160 is already formed as a hydrogel before it is consumed. Its carbohydrates are contained within a biopolymer matrix designed to carry them through the stomach towards the intestine, where the carbohydrates can be released and absorbed.

Unlike many conventional energy gels with a syrup-like consistency, Maurten Gel 160 has a firmer hydrogel structure. Because the gel is already in hydrogel form, you do not need to drink water specifically to wash it down, although maintaining an appropriate hydration strategy during exercise remains important.

When to Use Maurten Gel 160

Maurten Gel 160 can be consumed before exercise as a carbohydrate preload or during endurance training and racing as part of your fueling strategy.

Its 40g carbohydrate serving can be particularly useful during longer running, cycling and triathlon sessions, or when opportunities to take fuel are less frequent.

Individual carbohydrate requirements vary depending on exercise duration, intensity, other carbohydrate sources and your overall nutrition strategy. Test your fueling plan during training before using it for the first time on race day.

What Does Maurten Gel 160 Taste Like?

Maurten Gel 160 has a neutral, lightly sweet taste and a firm hydrogel texture. The sweetness comes from its glucose and fructose carbohydrate sources, with no added flavours.

Its semi-solid hydrogel consistency is noticeably different from many traditional syrup-style energy gels.

Maurten Gel 160 vs Gel 100 vs Gel 100 CAF 100

Maurten's energy gels use Hydrogel Technology but differ mainly in carbohydrate quantity and caffeine content.

Which Maurten Gel Should You Choose?

The main differences between Maurten's gels are the amount of carbohydrate in each serving and whether caffeine is included.

• Choose Maurten Gel 160 when you want a larger 40g carbohydrate serving without caffeine.
• Choose Maurten Gel 100 when you prefer a smaller 25g carbohydrate serving without caffeine that can be consumed in more frequent increments.
• Choose Maurten Gel 100 CAF 100 when you want a 25g carbohydrate serving with 100mg of caffeine.

Gel 100 and Gel 160 can both form part of an endurance fueling strategy. The most appropriate option depends on how much carbohydrate you want from each serving, how frequently you plan to fuel and what other carbohydrate sources you are consuming.
