Each 65g sachet provides 40g of carbohydrate without caffeine, giving you more fuel per sachet than Maurten Gel 100.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt uses Maurten's Hydrogel Technology and has a firmer consistency than a conventional syrup-style gel.

Its larger serving is useful when you want to carry fewer gels while still taking in a substantial amount of carbohydrate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe gel does not contain caffeine, making it easier to use alongside caffeinated products without unintentionally increasing your total caffeine intake.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFuelling needs vary with the duration and intensity of exercise. Test Gel 160 during training before relying on it for a race or important event, and continue drinking enough fluid for the conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e40g of carbohydrate per sachet\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e160 kcal per sachet\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNo caffeine\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMaurten Hydrogel Technology\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1:0.8 glucose-to-fructose ratio\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNeutral taste\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFirmer consistency than a conventional syrup-style gel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMade with six ingredients\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNo added colours, flavours or preservatives\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSuitable for cycling, running and endurance sport\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIndividual 65g tear-open sachet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOur Thoughts\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGel 160 makes sense for long rides and events where carrying enough fuel becomes difficult.
