Uses: Keeping your energy levels up during training and racing
Rating: 5 out of 5
Features: Viscous, Tasty, Light, Sugar Free.
Pros: Comes in your favourite flavour. Apple-Cinnamon, Rasberry, Vanilla, Banana, Chocolate, Orange. Option of single shot satchels or flasks that hold up to five shots.
Doesn't have an overbearing taste or aftertaste.
Can be mixed with water to make a sort of sports drink in your bidden. I don't recommend that option for chocolate though, it tastes great straight up, but a bit ordinary watered down.
They are sugar free so spiking and bonking isn't a big concern.
Cons: Satchels can be a pain to open at speed on the bike. I don't like to litter, so after tearing the top off, you need to stuff it into your pocket before sucking down the gel. A third hand would help here!
If you use the flasks then you get five shots of the same flavour before a change of colour.
Feedback: Use the flasks. They hold more good gear, and are better for the environment. If you buy it in the jugs (holds 25 shots) then you can just fill your five shot flasks and grab them at transitions to keep moving. visit www.hammergel.com.au for more info and orders
