Why does Maurten offer specialized bottles and flasks?

Maurten bottles and flasks are designed to support precise fueling and hydration. The different bottles and softflasks help ensure accurate Drink Mix preparation, while Gel Flasks allow for convenient, compact storage of gels during training and racing.

What should I do before using a Maurten bottle for the first time?

Always wash the bottle before first use. This helps ensure hygiene and removes any residue from manufacturing or packaging before preparing Drink Mix.

How should I use the 750 ml bottle if Drink Mix is designed for 500 ml of water?

The 750 ml bottle is designed primarily for cyclists and triathletes who carry one or two bottles in a bike bottle cage during longer training sessions or races. Two 750 ml bottles provide a total of 1.5 L of fluid, which corresponds to three Drink Mix sachets split across two bottles.

You can also use a more concentrated approach by mixing two Drink Mix sachets into 750 ml of water. This results in higher carbohydrate concentration and a stronger intake per sip. If you choose this option, we recommend practicing in training to ensure tolerance and comfort before using it in competition
