Thirty grams of carbs per sachet delivered in a smooth texture that goes down easily even at maximum intensity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFuel That Works\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach gel is packed with 30g of easy-to-digest carbs from real fruit purée, delivering quick energy exactly when you need it. It absorbs cleanly, fuels smoothly, and won't sit heavy in your stomach during intense effort.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReal Fruit. Real Taste.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApricot, Strawberry, Blackcurrant. Flavours that actually taste like the fruit they come from. Plus Blackcurrant comes with 50mg natural caffeine for racing and hard efforts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMade for Speed\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sachet's wide opening means one solid squeeze and you're finished. No slurping, no fussing, no pause. No immediate water rinse required. Just fuel that goes down cleanly and lets you stay focused on the effort.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor years, our athletes asked \"\u003cstrong\u003eCan you make your Fruit Bars as a gel?\"\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe heard it from runners who don't like to chew. From cyclists who needed to open their fuel faster than a bar allows. From anyone who loved the taste and ingredients of our bars but needed a format that worked differently.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ask was clear — but we knew we had to do it right.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe took our time because we weren't willing to release a gel until it met the same standard as our Fruit Bars. Same real fruit ingredients. Same cuisine-first approach to fueling. Just in a form you don't have to chew.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSo we took our Fruit Bars and reinvented the gel around the same amazing-ness.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe engineered the texture to be smooth and light. We designed the sachet opening to be massive so you can consume everything in one squeeze mid-effort. And of course, we made it taste good enough that you'd actually look forward to it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis is the gel version of what XACT does.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTaste first. Real ingredients. Engineered for the moment you're actually using it. Just the best gel we could possibly make.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbsorption is the same across formats.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e30g of carbs from real fruit absorbs identically to carbs from a bar, gel, or drink mix. What matters is total carbohydrate availability, not the source. Choose your format based on what works for your effort and stomach, not marketing claims.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTaste drives adherence. Adherence drives performance.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn athlete who enjoys their fuel fuels more consistently. Consistent fueling beats the \"best\" product you won't actually use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd for those wondering, our G\/F ratio is 2:1 ;)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShort moderate efforts (under 60 minutes):\u003c\/strong\u003e You probably don't need gels, but if you want a little treat, we can't fault you for that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModerate long efforts (60 minutes to 3 hours):\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 gel every 45–60 minutes. Or alternate with Fruit Bars (25g) for variety and to dial in your carb target. Total carbs per hour should match your effort intensity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHard efforts and racing (any duration):\u003c\/strong\u003e Most of the time: 1 gel every 30–45 minutes.
