Fuel your long rides
After months of winter training, the sun is finally back on your face and legs.
Longer days mean longer sessions outside. Spring is the time to build volume, push the pace, and spend more hours in the saddle.
As your rides get longer, your fueling strategy becomes more important. Your body relies on carbohydrates to maintain power, support endurance, and delay fatigue.

Energy Line
All Energy Line products contain 30 g of carbohydrates. This makes it easy to reach 60 or 90 g per hour by using 2 or 3 products per hour.
Mix different textures — drink, gels, chews or bars — and flavours to keep fueling comfortable during longer rides.
Turbo Line
All Turbo Line products contain 40 g of carbohydrates per serving. This makes it easy to reach 120 g per hour, recommended for longer rides (4+ hours) or high-intensity efforts, by using 3 products per hour.
Because this intake is higher, it’s important to train your gut and gradually build carbohydrate tolerance during training.
