Not recommended as long as opening is not customised

- Tom, 3 May, 2026

Not a recommendation for me, the gel contains too much water, making it run out easily. Also, the opening tears way too easily, and everything runs next to my mouth and on my hands (sticky mess guaranteed)

Pros & Cons

The prize
Far too runny
Opening is not convenient

Great product

- Rianne, 5 March, 2026

The packaging is good and quick to open - only in full rain it is a bit trickier. Opening is also big enough to quickly swallow the gel. Absorption is good and it doesn't give me a tummy ache. I really like the flavour, but it is a pity that the mix box does not exist without the caffeine variant.

Pros & Cons

Delicious flavour
Easy to open
Price
Could have been slightly higher in cal
Mix box cannot do without caffeine variant

moderate taste quick absorption

- J., 31 October, 2025

I find caffeine an added value. But preferably for me not one shot at a time. Rather modulated over the whole enduro ride.

Pros & Cons

Fast absorption
cannot be measured
Taste is not negotiable but not tasty

Cola flavour and caffeine don't mix...

- Jonas, 15 August, 2025

I am quite disenchanted with this energy gel. I bought 12, and after the first gel I thought, 'oh no, 11 more to go...'. Is sticky and doesn't taste like cola, maybe because of the caffeine. Too bad I couldn't combine other flavours.

Pros & Cons

packaging is pretty ok
price
does not taste good

Gives just a little extra push.

- Nelus, 13 July, 2025

Gave me a little extra at the end of a long ride. No extra water needed to wash away. Tested the blueberry and found it ant-sweet. Next time test the cola.

Pros & Cons

Works well
Ant-sweet (blueberry)

Great gel at a great price!

- W., 30 April, 2025

Easy size, tears open easily and you can't lose the tab easily because it stays attached :) Does sometimes tear off too high leaving a tiny or even no opening :( Taste is fine, slightly sweet but not too sweet in my opinion. Could be a bit bigger for taste :9

Pros & Cons

Lip you can't lose
Packaging tears easily
Tastes fine
Sometimes tears open a bit too high
