Powerbar sports nutrition: The right fuel for every ride

Going for a low-intensity endurance ride, a high-intensity training session, a multi-day bikepacking adventure? The right sports nutrition is the key to success and, above all, to your cycling fun. Choose Powerbar sports nutrition to ensure that your engine always keeps running. Because every ride and every cyclist is different, Powerbar offers the perfect fuel for all circumstances and all types of efforts. In this blog, we will tell you everything you need to know about Powerbar sports nutrition, so you know exactly what you need for your next ride!

The basics: Energy for a leisurely pace

Going for a relaxing tour or a multi-day bikepacking trip that doesn't involve constant full throttle? Even on such lower-intensity rides, your body needs the right fuel to keep going and let you enjoy the ride. For these types of rides, Powerbar Isoactive sports drink and Powerbar PowerGel Shots are ideal. Isoactive is an isotonic sports drink that not only provides the carbohydrates you need but also helps to maintain your fluid balance. Exactly what you need to keep pedalling comfortably.

A tasty alternative: Powergel Shots

If you're not a fan of traditional energy gels or just want something different, try PowerGel Shots! These are tasty chewy sweets with the same powerful 2:1 carbohydrate ratio as the gels. One package contains nine Shots, which are roughly equivalent to two energy gels in terms of carbohydrates. Ideal to replenish your energy in several dosages. The Shots are available in three flavours, including cola, which contains caffeine. An advantage of the latter is that, because you chew the Shots, the caffeine is absorbed directly through the oral mucosa for a rapid effect!

For cycling fanatics: Maximum energy for higher exertion

Do you push yourself hard during training rides and competitions? Then you are demanding the max from your body and, therefore, need maximum energy. Powerbar has developed the Black Line especially for these high-intensity activities. The Powerbar Black Line Fuel 90 sports drink and the Powerbar Black Line Fuel Gel have been developed to provide the maximum amount of carbohydrates.

Powerbar Fuel Gel for max carb absorption

For the most fanatical endurance athletes, Powerbar offers their innovative Fuel Gel, a refreshing gel with a progressive 1:0.8 glucose-fructose ratio. According to the latest scientific insights, this ratio ensures even faster carbohydrate absorption and is easier on your stomach and intestines. It allows you to absorb up to 120 grams of carbs per hour! Especially during long and intense efforts, this can make all the difference between hitting the proverbial wall and reaching the finish line with ease. The Fuel Gels are available in a variety of refreshing flavours.

Essential extras for long rides

During long and hot bike rides, you lose not only energy but also essential minerals through sweat. And after many hours in the saddle, fatigue can really hit you hard. Powerbar offers convenient solutions to prevent this.

Replenish electrolytes

One of these solutions is the 5Electrolytes tabs. Especially in hot weather, replenishing electrolytes (minerals such as sodium, magnesium and potassium) is essential for proper hydration and muscle function. Powerbar 5Electrolytes tabs easily dissolve in a water bottle, contain no calories and are a perfect addition to your other sports nutrition to prevent cramps and dehydration.
