Maurten Gel Mix 480 + Gel Mix Flask 350 ml Bundle

Maurten Gel Mix 480 + Gel Mix Flask 350 ml Bundle combines Maurten Gel Mix 480 carbohydrate fuel with the soft flask designed specifically for preparing and consuming it during endurance training and racing.

120g Carbohydrates | 480 kcal | 200ml Water | Hydrogel Technology | Gel Mix Flask 350 ml

What Is Maurten Gel Mix 480?

Maurten Gel Mix 480 is a powder-based carbohydrate fuel developed for longer-duration endurance training and racing. Unlike Gel 100 or Gel 160, it is not supplied as a ready-to-eat gel. It must first be mixed with water.

When one sachet is mixed with 200ml of water, Gel Mix 480 forms a loose consistency that sits between Maurten Drink Mix and Maurten Gel. When it reaches the acidity of the stomach, the mixture forms a hydrogel that encapsulates the carbohydrates.

Maurten states that the number 480 refers to the energy content of the serving: 120g of carbohydrates at approximately 4 kcal per gram corresponds to 480 kcal.

What's Included in the Gel Mix 480 Flask Bundle?

This bundle pairs Maurten Gel Mix 480 with the Maurten Gel Mix Flask 350 ml, the soft flask designed specifically for preparing and carrying Gel Mix during training and racing.

The Gel Mix Flask has a total capacity of 350ml and includes a 200ml water fill line, a SpeedFill™ cap for faster access and a bite valve for consuming Gel Mix while moving.

Why Choose Maurten Gel Mix 480?

• 120g of carbohydrates per sachet when prepared as directed.
• 480 kcal per serving, as reflected in the product name.
• Hydrogel Technology in a loose-gel fueling format.
• Designed for long-duration endurance efforts where carrying a larger amount of carbohydrate in a compact format can be useful.
• Can be divided after preparation across multiple flasks according to your fueling strategy.
• Compatible with Maurten Additions for optional taste variation.

How to Prepare Maurten Gel Mix 480

1. Fill the Gel Mix Flask to the 200ml water line.
2. If using a Maurten Addition, add it to the water first and shake until dissolved.
3. Slowly pour one sachet of Gel Mix 480 into the flask.
4. Shake vigorously until the powder is fully dissolved with no lumps or residual powder at the bottom.
5. Allow the prepared Gel Mix to rest for at least 5 minutes before consuming.

Maurten recommends using clean water containing no more than approximately 80mg of calcium per litre. Water with higher mineral content can make Gel Mix harder to dissolve.

Cold water can also take longer to mix. If using cold water, shake the flask thoroughly to ensure the powder is completely dissolved.

Why Use the Gel Mix Flask 350 ml?

• SpeedFill™ cap supports fast opening and refilling.
• Bite valve allows Gel Mix to be consumed while moving.
• Compact soft-flask format is designed for a running vest, waist belt or back pocket.

Maurten states that other soft flasks may be used, but the Gel Mix Flask 350 ml is specifically optimized for Gel Mix 480.
