This is an extension

This is still the Gel. Still the realest. Still no colors. Still no preservatives. Still hydrogel. Gel 160 uses Hydrogel Technology — the fuel behind record-breaking athletes — just more. 40 grams of carbohydrates in each 65-gram sachet.

More or less — it’s the same.


Don't fuel short

Different situations require different approaches to get the right amount of carbs every hour. Gel 160 gives you more options — to refine your fueling strategy. Our Fuel Guides advise on how to use Gel 160 with other products in the Maurten ecosystem, providing insight into how to fuel each training session or race situation more effectively.


Gel 100 vs Gel 160

Gel 100 and Gel 160 use the same patented Maurten Hydrogel Technology with the same ratio of fructose and glucose — 0.8:1. Gel 100 has 25 grams of carbohydrates and Gel 160 has 40 grams. Both sizes are interchangeable, depending on the training program or race. It’s a modular system that enables athletes to fine-tune their fueling strategy.


Science is in our nature. And vice versa.

Developed for endurance athletes, Maurten combines research–driven development with feedback from runners, cyclists, and triathletes — to enhance performance in sports and solve the problems hindering it. Our patented Hydrogel Technology — encapsulating carbohydrates to carry them through the stomach — makes fueling for sports easier.

Gel 160 in the real world

The longer the race. The further the training session. The more time flies. It's easy to forget — to miss — your fueling. It's a quirk of endurance sport that, sometimes, the more time we have to think, the less we focus on doing the right thing. And yet — here's the crunch — the longer we're out there, the more important fueling becomes. When the racing is hectic, when opportunities to stop are less frequent, when you've got your head down — pushing on — fueling gets neglected. “I'll eat at the top of the climb. I'll eat when I stop next. I'll eat when I catch the person ahead.” Good intentions — but time passes. The kilometers pass. And before you realize, the fatigue has caught up with you instead. Gel 160 is more carbohydrates than Gel 100 in each sachet — 40 grams. Go long — take more. It’s that simple.

Hydrogel Technology is the innovation

Carbohydrates are the currency of fueling — to sustain performance, athletes need to consume them when training and racing, but it can be difficult during high-intensity exercise. Hydrogel Technology encapsulates the carbohydrates, carrying them through the stomach to be absorbed. Combining research–driven development alongside feedback from runners, cyclists, and triathletes, Maurten’s fueling ecosystem enables all humans to become greater athletes.
