Sis Go Energy + Caffeine Gel Double Espresso 60ml

I've used SIS for about a year now. Not loving the taste, but I feel it's an effective product. Hard to describe the texture other than to compare it a bit to Thicket for people with special dietary needs for thin liquids. On a long ride I can feel the caffeine kick in within about 10-15 minutes after consuming. Not as thick or sugary tasting like other gels and I don't need to wash it down with a lot of water like most other gels advise.

I've tried a few different kinds of gels now including the Gu and Clif brands but the SIS gels are far and away my favorite. I know the texture of these can be a point of contention to some but they're perfect for me. I really love the apple flavor but I even when I bought the variety pack there weren't any flavors that I didn't enjoy. I personally like that they kind of have a gogurt texture that you can easily swallow quickly without any water and I feel like consuming one every hour or so that I'm riding provides sufficient energy. On long rides I usually do also have some Clif Bloks but part of that is I just love the flavor of those as well.

My go to gel for training and game day Unlike other gels, these are so easy to take whilst exercising and I don't need to worry about trying to chug it down with water. The consistency is really light and flavors are not over-powering. I really love the cherry flavor, Never had any stomach issues and love that I can buy them with or without caffeine / electrolytes depending what else I'm using. Wouldn't use anything else now!

Great product. Taste is good. I like all three flavors. Good balance of electrolytes and easy metabolic absorption. Wish they had caps or make in 30 calorie versions. These can get messy in back pocket while cycling, if they squish out/drip. During endurance biking, 30 calories every 30 minutes is an optimum consumption amount for most riders. I.e. consuming 1/3 of one gel every 30 minutes.

Skip the cherry flavor unless you love cough medicine. Give these a try for sure just not the cherry. For the love of god do not buy the cherry flavor. The other flavors are fine. Consistency is...unique but digestible. Just dont get the cherry flavor.

Pretty terribly tasting -- imagine jello and berry-flavored cough syrup got married, this gel would be their baby. Luckily, the taste doesn't last longer than 30 seconds. This gel is highly effective however. I can feel the effectiveness of the caffeine within 15 to 30 minutes or so. The packets are a little long and unwieldy to store in the bicycle bento box, but they store in the jersey pockets just fine. I would recommend these over many gel packets for it's pure efficacy.

I've eaten my fair share of energy gels in the past when training for triathlons and cycling events. Normally you'd have to chug down a good amount of water to get the gel to down because they're so thick. The last thing you want is a gut full of water sloshing around. But these gels are so thin, you barely need any water! My favorite flavors are apple and tropical. Steer clear of lemon-lime! One thing to note, these packets are larger than your used to.

Didn’t mind them

I hadn’t tried this brand for awhile so decided to try some of the newer flavours. The positives are that they are a good liquid gel so easy to consume and the flavours were ok on the pallet. No issues on the tummy. There isn’t any real negatives as such, except there are other liquid type gels that I would prefer so they would of have to be extra fab to sway me to buy more.

Great new flavours

I don’t use a lot of the SIS gels, purely because the added water in them means they are slightly bulky and take up room in the bike pouch. However, I often carry one for hotter rides, where I know I may run low on water and can fall back on a final gel to push me through and hydrate at the same time. I have now tried both the new vanilla and fruit salad flavours and can recommend either. BUT the fruit salad leaps out- reminiscent of the penny chew- yum!

Very happy with this gel

I am really pleased with this gel. The texture is the best out of all the gels I've tried recently and it gave me a good energy boost. It was 28°c on my run so it was great to have a gel which slid down easily and refreshed me a bit at the same time. I still took this with some water because it was so hot. The only negative is that I had a small stitch for the next half a kilometer. I don't know if this is due to the gel, or the fact I took water with it-or if that was just co-incidence. I'll have to test some more to find out. But overall I'm really happy with this gel. I had the fruit salad flavour which was nice. Looking forward to trying the other flavours now.
