Product Information

McGregor recommends consuming 30-60g of carbs per hour for the first three hours of running, increasing to 60-90g of carbs per hour if you’re still going after that. This can be in the form of gels, drinks or solids. We’re calling on you, our OTE Community to help choose the next Super Gel flavour. We’re bringing you two new research and development flavours to try this off season. The natural orange flavour, containing real fruit juice concentrate, which provides a refreshing fruity taste in an easy to consume, almost liquid-like consistency.

Whether you choose the classic energy gel or the caffeine-infused version, you can count on OTE to deliver sustained energy and essential electrolytes to support your active lifestyle. Fuel your passion and reach new heights with OTE Energy Gels. While gels are easy to carry, some runners prefer to consume carbohydrate drinks, which help to maintain hydration, preventing the need to carry/consume additional drinks, and are often easier on the stomach.Consuming too much carbohydrate means it'll be surplus and go to waste – however, some manufacturers mix their glucose with fructose (fruit sugar) – and research has shown that this can increase absorption to 90g an hour. As a product, the High5 gel should appeal to those who want their gels to contain natural flavorings while at the same time avoiding colorings and artificial sweeteners. They're also suitable for both vegetarians and vegans. The Bloks have a more food-like texture vs gels so it will come down to personal preference and also what you feel comfortable carrying with you on the move. As well as delivering just over 20 grams of carbs per servings OTE's gels also contain electrolytes to help replace the salts you've lost while sweating. Combined with the thinner consistency this points to OTE gels being a good match for hot weather cycling.

Runner's World Lab ApprovedEnergy requirements vary between individuals, increasing with intensity. The general rule of thumb is to feed yourself with one gram of carbohydrate per kilo of body weight, each hour – so a 60 kilogram individual should aim for 60 grams an hour, while an 80kg rider would need around 80g. The flip side is that they're harder to ingest, as you need to chew them as you ride. They're a lot easier to chew than an energy bar though in our experience and can be consumed "on the side" more easily as you ride, although as with a bar you probably need some water to wash them down.
