Details
RACE+ is designed for hard efforts, high carbohydrate targets, and planned caffeine strategies. It combines the carbohydrate and electrolyte formulation of RACE with 100 mg of caffeine, 100 mg of L-theanine, and 500 mg of taurine per gel.
The name RACE+ doesn’t mean it’s only for race day. It reflects the intensity of the effort, the carbohydrate target, and the deliberate use of caffeine. That makes RACE+ just as suitable for hard training sessions when you want to practise your race-day fueling strategy, including caffeine, under realistic conditions.
The subtle lemon flavor remains pleasantly restrained. The caffeine can make RACE+ taste slightly more bitter than RACE. 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
- 100 mg caffeine
- 100 mg L-theanine
- 500 mg taurine
- Subtle lemon flavor
- 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.
Caffeine can increase alertness and concentration. Under the relevant conditions of use, it also contributes to increased endurance performance.
L-theanine is commonly paired with caffeine. Some people find the combination more balanced than caffeine alone. The evidence is more consistent in cognitive settings than for specific endurance performance effects. For that reason, it is included as part of the formulation rather than as a guarantee of any specific outcome.
Taurine complements the overall formulation. Evidence for specific endurance performance benefits is mixed and depends on the context in which it is used.
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.
The 100 mg caffeine serving makes it easy to plan your caffeine intake. Remember to include coffee, tea, cola, pre-workout, and any other caffeine sources in your total daily intake.
If you plan to use RACE+ on race day, make sure to practise your full race-day fueling strategy, including caffeine, in training under realistic conditions. At the same time, RACE+ is equally suitable for hard training sessions whenever you deliberately want to include caffeine.
When RACE+ fits
- Hard and long races
- Hard and long training sessions
- Later stages of prolonged efforts
- Sessions where alertness and concentration become especially important
- A planned caffeine strategy in training or racing
- Early starts, provided you tolerate caffeine well
- Maximum 4 RACE+ gels per day. Not recommended for children, pregnant women, or breastfeeding women.

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 this energy gel for its "consistent energy delivery," excellent taste, and liquid texture. Many highlighted superior gut tolerance and effectiveness during marathons and long rides. The caffeine boost was particularly valued. Some noted the packaging is too long for transport and the texture messy to consume. More flavor variety requested.
- Consistent energy delivery, thinner texture, and the flavour won me over
- Great for energy kicks for longer and hard effort rides. Flavour, consistency, taste perfect
- Great gels, good taste, aren't so heavy on the stomach. I really like the version with caffeine!

I like supporting start-ups, but to be fair, I was not expecting too much from these gels. I had already found another brand working well for me, and I am generally not a big fan of caffeinated gels. These surprised me. The consistent energy delivery, thinner texture, which I prefer as I like gels on the more liquid side, and the flavour won me over. I must admit, the entire range has now earned a place in my fueling strategy for my next marathon and the races following this fall. My main suggestion would be to add another two or three flavours. For longer training blocks and marathon preparation, using the same flavours repeatedly gets a little boring. This becomes more relevant when ordering larger quantities to offset the shipping costs. Still, the product is worth the extra effort at the moment. Well done. A thoughtful product across the board, from the packaging and ingredients to the texture, taste, and energy delivery. More importantly, the gels work well where they matter most, during the run.

Love my #rocketfuelendurance. Use all three and have ordered three times and it is my go to gel now. Race+ is great for those energy kicks for longer and/or hard effort rides. Flavour consistency taste and guts tolerance is perfect.

Top gel nutritionnel.
En revanche, deux défauts majeurs sont aujourd’hui un vrai frein à ma recommandation, et c’est vraiment dommage :
* Le format : le sachet est trop long, ce qui complique son transport pendant un marathon, surtout lorsqu’on doit en emporter plusieurs.
* La texture trop liquide : il est quasiment impossible de le consommer sans s’en mettre sur les doigts.
C’est dommage, car sur le plan nutritionnel, le produit est excellent.
Bonjour Jamel, oui, je comprends votre point de vue. On en avait déjà parlé par email, surtout par rapport au transport dans une ceinture de running. Le format peut effectivement dépendre beaucoup du type de ceinture ou de poche utilisée. Nos gels ne sont pas particulièrement grands par rapport à beaucoup de gels avec 40 g de glucides, mais ils sont forcément plus longs que certains formats très compacts. Donc je comprends que, dans votre cas précis, cela puisse être moins pratique si la ceinture est assez étroite ou si vous devez en emporter plusieurs.
Pour la texture, c’est un choix assez volontaire. On voulait un gel légèrement fluide, mais pas aqueux, qui puisse être avalé facilement pendant l’effort, surtout quand la respiration est forte. Si on faisait un gel beaucoup plus épais ou plus compact, il faudrait généralement réduire l’eau ou modifier la formule, ce qui changerait aussi la sensation en bouche, la facilité à le prendre et potentiellement la tolérance. L’objectif n’est pas que le gel coule partout, mais qu’il sorte facilement du sachet et qu’il ne donne pas l’impression de devoir être mâché ou forcé.
Pour les doigts collants, je comprends aussi la remarque. En pratique, de petits détails peuvent faire une grande différence avec ce type de packaging. Le plus simple est de tenir le sachet plutôt par le haut, d’ouvrir la languette sans exercer trop de pression sur le gel, puis de le vider avec une pression contrôlée. La languette reste attachée au sachet, donc il n’y a pas de morceau de plastique séparé à gérer, et avec la texture plus fluide, il reste généralement assez peu de produit dans l’emballage. Ce n’est évidemment jamais totalement impossible d’en mettre sur les doigts, surtout en course ou avec la fatigue, mais l’objectif du format est justement de rendre l’ouverture, la prise et le rangement du sachet vide aussi simples que possible. Votre retour est noté, et je préfère avoir ce genre de feedback honnête plutôt que de passer à côté d’un vrai problème d’usage.

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!

RACE+ getestet: Mehr Punch für die entscheidenden Kilometer.
Wien Marathon. 42,2km. Kein Platz für Experimente — aber Experiment RocketFuel ungetestet inhalieren, läuft.
Schema war simpel: 3x RACE, 3x RACE+. Die RACE Gels für die erste Hälfte — Energie rein, Magen happy, Beine rollen. Kein Aufstoßen, kein Ziehen, kein Drama. Smooth wie Butter auf einer heißen Pfanne. Glatter als ein frisch gezogenes Espresso. Eleganter als ein Wiener Opernball.
Dann km 25. Erstes RACE+.
Die Erde hat gezittert. Vögel haben aufgehört zu singen. Irgendwo in den Alpen hat eine Gams innegehalten und genickt. Sie wusste es.
Ich hab das Gel reingedrückt und in diesem Moment — IN DIESEM EXAKTEN MOMENT — hat mein Körper beschlossen dass Schmerz eine Lüge ist. Dass Müdigkeit ein gesellschaftliches Konstrukt ist. Dass Kilometer nur Zahlen sind die für mich nicht gelten. Das Koffein hat meine Synapsen übernommen wie ein freundlicher aber sehr bestimmter Diktator. 🔥🔥
Die NASA hat angerufen. Sie wollen wissen was in meinen Beinen steckt.
Magen? Der hat Urlaub genommen und trotzdem seinen Job gemacht. Gel Nummer 6 runter wie Gel Nummer 1. 42km Vollgas. Null Probleme. Nicht mal ein leises Grummeln. Mein Verdauungstrakt hat eine Gehaltserhöhung verdient.
RACE+? Das ist kein Gel. Das ist kein Produkt. Das ist eine göttliche Intervention in Gelform. Eine philosophische Erkenntnis die du nur spürst wenn deine Beine bei km 35 eigentlich schon aufgegeben haben — aber dein Kopf sagt NEIN. HEUTE NICHT. NICHT MIT ROCKETFUEL IM SYSTEM. 💪🚀
Wer das noch nicht probiert hat, hat nicht gelebt. Hat den Marathon nicht wirklich erlebt. Hat sich selbst nie wirklich kennengelernt.
Ich bin ein anderer Mensch seit diesem Tag.

Les gels sont vraiment au top car permettent d'atteindre 40 g de glucides au sein d'un seul gel dans un packaging relativement petit tout en restant très liquide.
Les autres gels aussi liquide que celui-ci sans généralement dans des packagings. Beaucoup plus gros et n'attaignent que difficilement 22 g de glucide
