I've been using Powerbar since they 1st introduced their products to New Zealand some 20 years ago.

So when Powerbar Gels arrived I knew they would be good.

Below is the full scientific breakdown of Powerbar Gel from the Powerbar Website (For those that want the nitty gritty). What I can tell you from personal experience is that they really work! In a 160km race I would generally consume 4-5 Gels and nothing else (except water), they taste awesome and don't leave any of that horrible after taste that some gels and sports food tend to.

If you want to ride like a pro, then you need to eat like a pro (Mark Cavandish is a great example of a Powerbar Gel user), and if you want to beat the People's Champ then get into them!

Available in Strawbery-Banana, Chocolate, Green Apple, Blackcurrent, and Vanilla

For best results, consume one POWERBAR� GEL CARBOHYDRATE ELECTROLYTE BLEND every 20­�45 minutes during activity, followed by a minimum of 4�5 sips of water (4�5 fl oz) or sports drink, per gel.
