$2.00 | | Purchased At: | Bicycle Sport Shop | | Strengths: | Decent taste, not chalky, some flavors have caffeine, it works! | | Weaknesses: | It's a little thin and cost a bit more than other gels | | Similar Products Used: | Cliff Shot, Gu | | Bike Setup: | Motolite Ti | | Bottom Line: | This stuff is like rocket fuel for me. It takes about 15 minutes or so to kick in and then I feel sustained energy for 45 minutes or more. It can even bring me back from a full on bonk. I never feel jittery or weird and I have never crashed after it wears off. I swear my muscles are less fatigued after using it during a ride. I like Cliff Shot as a low octane pick-me-up, but this stuff is 112 octane! I like the Chocolate best and the Raspberry Cream isn't bad either. Those are both the caffeinated versions. Give it a try, it's better than any of the other gels I've used | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$1.00 | | Purchased At: | different online ret | | Strengths: | Patented 4:1 carb/protein mixture, great taste, plenty of flavors from which to choose | | Weaknesses: | Never leave a used gel pack in your Camelbak...ants! | | Similar Products Used: | GU, Cytomax gel, PowerGel, Clif Shot...all taste like paste | | Bike Setup: | Specialized S-Works Stumpjumper FSR | | Bottom Line: | After tasting different gels out there, Accel Gel is the only one that doesn't have a strong aftertaste and has a much lighter texture. It's not so "paste" like and smooth going down. I chose this purely based on the non-gag effect. I've purchased boxes of these from different online retailers and it usually averages about $1.00/pack. Just do a little shopping. As far as effect of ingredients, I don't feel any different than the other gels, however, it is the only gel that I look forward to tasting. Try the Lime! | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
