Why We Love It
We've been asking and they finally delivered: Maurten has welcomed Gel 160 to the family. Crafted with six ingredients and no added colourants, preservatives or flavours, the Maurten Gel 160 delivers the same great taste as the Gel 100 but with extra carbs to help you go the distance. Pack less and sustain energy levels for longer with your new favourite gel.
Talk Nerdy To Me
The Maurten Gel 160 is the new standard for longer sessions. Boasting 40g of carbohydrates in a single 65g serve (compared to 25g of carbs in the Gel 100), Maurten gels use a biopolymer matrix, filled with a unique blend of fructose and glucose (ratio of 0.8:1), to enable uptakes of up to 100 grams of carbohydrates per hour. This gel converts instantly to hydrogel in the stomach, allowing a smooth journey through the stomach to the intestine, where the water, salt and carbohydrates are absorbed.

Maurten recommends:
Based on five (GEL160) to seven (GEL100) GELs in total - or 175-200g of carbohydrate:
Sub2:30 = 3:33 min/km = 70-80 g/h = 1x every 20 min
Sub3:00 = 4:16 min/km = 58-67 g/h = 1x every 25 min
Sub3:30 = 4:59 min/km = 50-57 g/h = 1x every 30 min
Sub4:00 = 5:40 min/km = 44-50 g/h = 1x every 35 min
Sub4:30 = 6:24 min/km = 39-44 g/h = 1x every 40 min
What’s the difference between Maurten Gel 100 and Gel 160?
Both Gel 100 and Gel 160 utilise the identical patented Maurten Hydrogel Technology, featuring a consistent fructose-to-glucose ratio of 0.8:1. Gel 100 provides 25 grams of carbohydrates, whereas Gel 160 delivers 40 grams. Gel 160 is especially well-suited for extended endurance races or situations where refuelling opportunities are less frequent. Its larger packaging allows athletes to carry fewer sachets while still experiencing the established hydrogel performance. Athletes can easily swap between these two sizes based on their specific training or racing requirements. This system empowers athletes to customise their fuelling strategies with precision.
