Maurten Gel - High-Dose Hydrogel Running Fuel

Maurten's Gel 160 represents the larger hydrogel format—delivering 40 grams of carbohydrates per serving. Built on validated science using only six natural components—completely free from artificial colours, preservatives, and flavourings. Created for endurance athletes requiring substantial energy per sachet to support training and competition demands.

Maximum Energy Per Serving

Planning extended efforts? Increase your intake. That's the straightforward approach. Gel 160 targets athletes seeking concentrated energy in each serving. During prolonged endurance activities—where maintaining output matters—regular refuelling becomes essential. Each nutrition moment must deliver value. As distances extend, carbohydrate requirements increase proportionally. Gel 160 enables athletes to meet hourly carbohydrate targets through validated Hydrogel Technology—across all scenarios.

Core Innovation, Scaled Up

The fundamentals remain consistent. The formula stays pure. The approach stays authentic. Zero artificial colouring. Zero preservation additives. Hydrogel technology drives the innovation. Gel 160 employs the scientifically proven system athletes rely on—simply amplified. Each 65-gram sachet provides 40 grams of carbohydrates.

Flexible Nutrition Strategy

Varied circumstances demand tailored methods for achieving optimal hourly carbohydrate delivery. Gel 160 broadens your possibilities—enabling strategic refinement. Maurten's Fuel Guide provides recommendations on integrating Gel 160 with complementary products in their range to support training goals and race-day execution.

Understanding Gel 100 and Gel 160

Both formats employ Maurten's patented Hydrogel Technology with an identical 0.8:1 fructose-to-glucose ratio. Gel 100 supplies 25 grams of carbohydrates; Gel 160 supplies 40 grams. The two sizes function interchangeably based on training or racing requirements. This systematic approach allows athletes to calibrate their nutrition precisely.

Research-Driven Development

Maurten formulates products specifically for endurance disciplines. Scientific inquiry and research drive problem-solving and performance advancement. Development commenced in 2015.

Is Gel 160 Your Optimal Solution?

Designed for distance runners and endurance athletes implementing high-volume carbohydrate protocols during sustained efforts. If your marathon or ultra strategy targets 60-90 grams hourly, Gel 160 simplifies execution—reducing the number of gels required whilst maintaining intake objectives. It suits athletes who've trained their digestive systems for larger carbohydrate doses or those preferring fewer, more concentrated servings during events. Whether you're following aggressive fuelling protocols, competing where carrying multiple gels proves challenging, or simply favour consolidated servings, Gel 160 provides the flexibility to optimise your approach.
