Amacx Gel Pack

The professional peloton moved away from thick, sticky gels years ago. The shift was quiet but consistent — drinkable, liquid-format gels that go down clean at race pace without the texture revolt that derails your fueling mid-effort. Amacx led that shift in Dutch professional cycling, and this pack puts both of their gel formats side by side so you can find where each one belongs in your race-day strategy.

This is the only pack that lets you test Amacx's two drinkable gel formats back-to-back — the 30g Drink Gel for precise, adjustable fueling and the 40g Turbo Gel for when the effort demands more.

Drinkable Format, Real Difference Both gels flow like liquid rather than squeezing out thick and requiring water to chase them down. At race pace and high heart rate, that texture difference is not cosmetic — it's the difference between fueling going down clean and spending the next 10 minutes managing what you just took.

Two Carb Levels, One Decision The Drink Gel delivers 30g of carbohydrates per 60ml using a 2:1 glucose to fructose ratio, supporting up to 90g of carbs per hour. The Turbo steps up to 40g using a 1:0.8 ratio that pushes both absorption pathways harder, unlocking up to 120g per hour when combined with other Turbo Line products. Testing both tells you which dose your gut handles at race intensity.

NZVT Certified Across the Range Every Amacx product carries NZVT certification — the Dutch anti-doping standard independently tested for banned substances. For competitive athletes, that's the relevant benchmark.

The carb ratio difference between the two gels matters beyond just the numbers. Your gut absorbs glucose and fructose through separate pathways, and the Turbo's higher fructose load pushes that second pathway harder than a standard 2:1 formula. Both gels contain 200mg of sodium per serving so you're covering electrolyte replacement alongside the fuel. Neither requires water — the liquid is already in the formula.

Regular Efforts: Use the Drink Gel for sessions where 60 to 90g of carbs per hour is the target — one to two gels per hour gives you precise, adjustable dosing without committing to a large carb hit at once.

High Demand Efforts: Reach for the Turbo when the effort calls for 80g or more per hour. Two Turbo Gels per hour gets you to 80g; combine with a Turbo drink mix to push toward 120g.

Pro Tip: Test the Cassis Caffeine Turbo Gel for the hardest sections of your race — 100mg of caffeine alongside 40g of carbs is a meaningful mid-race boost, but test it in training first.

Amacx developed the Turbo Line in direct response to high-carb absorption research reshaping professional race nutrition, and supplies Dutch WorldTour cycling teams who run the highest hourly carb intakes in the sport.

Stop tolerating gels you dread taking. This is the format the peloton moved to — find the version that fits your fuel targets.
