GU Energy Roctane Ultra Endurance Energy Gel, Vegan, Gluten-Free, Kosher, and Dairy-Free On-The-Go Sports Nutrition for Running, Biking, Hiking or Skiing, Cold Brew 2X Caffeine (24 Packets)

For a gel, it works great. The flavor is good. It’s smooth.

These are gels are life savers for my 10+ mile runs. They give me that extra energy push I need and leave my muscles feeling less worn down afterwards. Recovery is quicker and less painful. Note, I always roll out my muscles and stretch lightly after runs, so that helps too. I can even lift a bit of weights after my runs when using this.They're expensive, so I only use them for long runs or really hard exercise days. For short runs I stick to the standard Gu gels without all the branch chain amino acids (bcaa). Very happy with the purchase.Taste is pretty good.Combine them with the Gu electrolyte tablets.

Coach recommended these and they work much better than the regular GUs!

I was a dedicated user of Clif Shot gels, but they stopped making them. I was initially hesitant about the different flavors, but tried them. Each flavor was actually pretty good. They are easy on the stomach and the energy shot you get works for me as a road cyclist.

All flavors are really good, and definitely notice more endurance using these

"GU Energy Roctane Ultra Endurance Energy Gel is a vital companion for athletes. Vegan, gluten-free, kosher, and dairy-free, it offers a clean energy boost during intense workouts. While the taste may not suit everyone, its rapid absorption and nutrient-packed formula fuel performance and recovery effectively."

GU Energy Roctane is good energy 'fuel' for hard exercising, is easy on the stomach and seems to help keep my energy level up on my long hilly bicycle rides (15-30 miles, 1000-2000+ feet climbing).The "Roctane" product provides a bit more nutrition than the regular GU Energy Gel (which I also find to be a good product).Also good for my long hilly hiking outings.Both products are easier to digest when working out than energy bars. Great variety of flavor choices too.(No I'm not an elite athlete, just a 70+ guy who gets out for exercise a bit.)P.S., GU partners with TerraCycle to recycle these energy gel packets after use.P.S.2, when opening, you can tear the top tab about 90% and get the gel out that way, keeping the top tab from becoming road, trail or pocket trash; then save the used packets and send to TerraCycle.

I use these gels during long mountain bike or Peloton rides.PROS:-improved performance (better stamina, less muscle fatigue, easier recovery) as compared to days I don’t take them-great flavor-no caffeine as I can’t tolerate itCONS:-sometimes the top rips off completely creating sticky hands. I wish there was a way to ensure the top and the rest of the packaging stayed in one piece.- price is a little high, but worth it for the increase in performance.
