Gel Mix 480 is a powder that dissolves in 200 ml of water to produce a hydrogel fuel. It is not a ready-to use sachet gel. It is not a drink mix. It sits between the two — a distinct format designed to be prepared in a soft flask before a long effort and consumed on the go. This is new for Maurten. Athletes familiar with Gel 100 or Gel 160 will notice the difference immediately — the preparation, the flask, the texture. That difference is intentional, and worth explaining clearly to customers.
Gel Mix 480 gives athletes more access to training and racing with Hydrogel Technology. When exercising with intent — the duration and distance of a long session or race, the frequency of a sustained training block — consistency matters. Gel Mix 480 offers an additional hydrogel fueling format to ensure that more sessions and races are fueled fully.
