TRAIN is designed for easy to moderate efforts and lower to moderate carbohydrate targets. Each gel delivers 25 g of carbohydrates in a compact 50 ml serving.
Whether you want a single gel before a shorter session, a small carbohydrate top-up, or as part of a fueling strategy of around 60 to 90 g of carbohydrates per hour, TRAIN fits easily into your plan. Depending on the session, you can combine it with other carbohydrate sources such as a drink mix.
The name TRAIN doesn’t mean it’s only for training. It reflects the intensity of the effort and the carbohydrate target the gel is designed for. That means TRAIN can be just as effective in a race if your fueling strategy calls for a more moderate carbohydrate intake.
The light berry flavor has a 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 easy to take even during exercise.

Why this formulation?
Maltodextrin and fructose form the foundation of every RocketFuel gel because they use different transport pathways in the gut.
Across all carbohydrate sources, TRAIN has an overall 2:1 glucose-type carbohydrate to fructose ratio. This ratio is well suited to moderate carbohydrate targets while also contributing to its less sweet flavor profile.
TRAIN adds isomaltulose as its third carbohydrate source. It digests more slowly than maltodextrin and was chosen specifically for moderate-intensity efforts. It can support a more gradual carbohydrate supply and complements the formulation for sessions with moderate carbohydrate targets.
The 25 g serving makes fueling easy to plan. It’s ideal for moderate carbohydrate targets, whether that’s during training or racing. It also works well as a single gel before shorter efforts or alongside a drink mix and other carbohydrate sources when your intake target is higher.
If you plan to fuel hard sessions or races with RACE or RACE+, it’s important to practise with those gels in training as well. TRAIN complements that approach for sessions where a lower carbohydrate target makes more sense, rather than replacing race-fueling practice.
