Details
RACE is designed for hard efforts and high carbohydrate targets. Each gel delivers 40 g of carbohydrates, making it easier to reach high intake levels with fewer gels, fewer trips to your pocket, and fewer interruptions while you’re moving.
The name RACE doesn’t mean it’s only for race day. It reflects the intensity of the effort and the carbohydrate target the gel is designed for. That means RACE is just as suitable for hard training sessions or any session where you’re aiming for a high carbohydrate intake.
The subtle lemon flavor has a light natural acidity that balances the sweetness, creating a fresh taste that’s less sweet than many traditional gels. Combined with its slightly runny texture, it’s designed to be quick and easy to take, even during high-intensity efforts.
At a glance
- 40 g carbohydrates per gel, 70 ml
- 1:0.8 glucose-type carbohydrate to fructose ratio
- Maltodextrin, fructose and highly branched cyclic dextrin
- 250 mg sodium
- Plus potassium, magnesium and calcium
- Subtle lemon flavor with light natural acidity
- Less sweet than many traditional gels
- Slightly runny texture
- 12 gels per box
Why this formulation?
Maltodextrin and fructose form the foundation of the formulation because they use different transport pathways in the gut.
Across all carbohydrate sources, RACE has an overall 1:0.8 glucose-type carbohydrate to fructose ratio. At high carbohydrate intakes, this ratio can help utilize both transport pathways at the same time and support greater total carbohydrate absorption.
RACE adds highly branched cyclic dextrin as its third carbohydrate source. As an individual ingredient, this high molecular weight carbohydrate has a lower osmolality than many simple sugars. Research has associated this with favorable gastric emptying characteristics and good tolerance during intense exercise.
Highly branched cyclic dextrin makes up around 10% of the total carbohydrates. It contributes to the overall formulation but isn’t, by itself, what determines how well the finished gel is tolerated.
The 70 ml serving size is equally deliberate. Using less water would make the 40 g of carbohydrates more concentrated, resulting in a much thicker and stickier gel. The current volume keeps the texture light enough to take quickly, even during high-intensity efforts.
If you plan to use RACE on race day, make sure to practise with it regularly in training under realistic conditions. At the same time, there’s no reason to save it only for races. Whenever your session calls for a high carbohydrate intake, RACE is designed for exactly that.
When RACE fits
- Hard training sessions and intervals
- Long, demanding rides and runs
- Races with high carbohydrate targets
- Planned carbohydrate intakes of around 90 to 120 g per hour and above
- Practising your race-day fueling strategy
- Sessions where you want to reach high carbohydrate intakes with fewer gels

Why athletes stick with RocketFuel
Gels you actually want to take
Light, natural flavor, never overly sweet, so the fifth gel still goes down as easily as the first. The consistency is a little runnier than most gels: no chewing, no sticky coating in your mouth, and you can take it without water when you have to.
Built for a calm stomach
Every ingredient was chosen with gut tolerance in mind: the carbohydrate sources and their ratio, the electrolyte forms, the sweetness, the consistency. The result is fueling that sits light even when you push, and it is what our athletes mention most.
Packaging that gets out of the way
Opens with one hand, empties cleanly, and the tear tab stays attached so nothing ends up on the trail. 50 ml and 70 ml pouches that go down in one go and sit flat in a pocket.
Customers praised these energy gels for delivering sustained energy during long rides and races without stomach discomfort. The lemon taste and consistency received high marks, with reviewers noting they're "easy to swallow" and provide "40g carbs." The packaging design allows easy opening while cycling. One customer desired more flavor variety.
- Best lemon taste on the market. Nice consistency, easy to swallow.
- No stomach problems and plenty of energy even after 5-6 hours of riding.
- Easy to use when on the bike, deliver in about 15 mins and you don't get sticky hands.

Das Race (Lemon) ist mein Favorit von den 3 Varianten. Egal ob im Training oder beim Rennen. Keine Probleme damit, auch warm ist es in Ordnung und ausreichend flüssig, selbst wenn man nicht sofort etwas hinterher trinken kann. 🚀

The Rocketfuel gels are an excellent choice. The gels are easy to use when on the bike, deliver in about 15 mins and you don’t get sticky hands after having them. They deliver either 25g or 40g of carbs and taste good without causing belly discomfort.

Great gels as always, fast shipping. All other gels taste worse now. Great packaging, no stomach problems.

Die Konsistenz und den Geschmack wurde perfekt getroffen. Leicht einzunehmen auch bei starker Intensität. Das Design ist auch hervorragend, da sich die gels leicht öffnen lassen und die plastiklasche dran bleibt.

Tolles Produkt, es fehlt eigentlich nur eine zweite Geschmacksrichtung zur Variation

Ich hab gestern das erste Mal Rocketfuel Race und Race+ bei einem Fechtturnier (Ca. 5h) benutzt und muss sagen: großartig! Ich mag den zitronigen Geschmack (nicht zu Doll) und die Konsistenz geht auch klar.
Mit ein bisschen Wasser nachgespült und alles war klar.
Insbesondere Race+ mit dem Koffein hat mich vor dem Gefecht richtig nach vorne gebracht.
Ein einziges Manko, vielleicht, ist dass ich mir auf Grund der Temperaturen und der Kleidung mehr Elektrolyte gewünscht hätte, aber die habe ich mit den Getränken aufgefüllt!
Wird auf jeden Fall mein Begleiter für die Zukunft!
