Original Energy Gel delivers fast-absorbing fuel to power longer efforts on the bike
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"GU Original Gels are my go-to for endurance rides. They’re compact, easy to take on the saddle, and give me a reliable energy boost without any stomach issues. The variety of flavors also keeps things interesting on long days."
On the bike, we don’t have time to guess when our energy will run out—or what will hit hardest when it does. GU Original Energy Gels are a performance staple for cyclists who demand consistent, fast-acting fuel. Each 100-calorie serving packs a dual-carb system (maltodextrin and fructose) that maximizes absorption and minimizes GI distress, delivering clean energy that hits quickly and lasts across intervals, climbs, or breakaways.
We count on the added sodium to replenish what’s lost in sweat and maintain hydration, and the inclusion of BCAAs helps our legs bounce back faster while supporting mental sharpness in the late stages of a ride. The compact 1.1oz packaging fits easily into jersey pockets, making it ideal for refueling on the move—no stopping, no slowing down.
From early morning crits to epic all-day rides, these gels have earned their place in our kit. With both caffeinated and caffeine-free options available, GU gives us the control to fuel the way we ride—precise, efficient, and ready for whatever’s next.
