0-1 Hours Of Effort

When you're exercising for an hour or less, it's important to start your
workout well-hydrated and energized. Five minutes before your activity, top off your energy stores with a Roctane Energy Gel. It's always best to take a few sips of water to help your body process your fuel.

1-2 Hours of Effort

When you're exercising for longer than an hour, it's important to refuel along the way. Aim to eat an Energy Gel every 30-45 minutes to keep going strong, and be sure to hydrate while taking gels to help your body efficiently process your fuel.

2-3 Hours Of Effort

As you increase exercise duration, your body needs more. Roctane Energy Gels contain up to 3x the sodium and BCAAs of our Original Energy Gels. Depending on heat and humidity, as well as exercise intensity, you can supplement your Energy Gels with Hydration Tabs for electrolyte replacement, or Roctane Energy Drink for energy and hydration in one.

3+ Hours of Effort

During really long efforts, it's impossible to replace everything you're burning, but you can maximize your performance by eating as much as your body can comfortably process. Boost your BCAA consumption with Roctane BCAA Capsules or Roctane Drink Mix, which will help protect your muscles as you go longer.

Cold Brew Coffee delivers the bitter yet smooth taste you expect from a refreshing cup of cold brew coffee. Packed with 70mg of caffeine (double the amount compared to other caffeinated ROCTANE Energy Gels), Cold Brew Coffee is enough to get you out the door, even if you’ve hit snooze one too many times.

+70mg CAFFEINE per serving
Cold Brew Coffee Roctane Energy Gel

Blueberry Pomegranate blends two unique berry essences into one smooth flavor. (Fun fact: Pomegranates are technically berries!) Called Blue Pom for short, it is sweet, floral and fruity. Tastes like a favorite jam, works like a ROCTANE Energy Gel. This Energy Gel flavor has been so well-received that we also made it into an Energy Chew flavor.

+35mg CAFFEINE per serving
Blueberry Pomegranate Roctane Energy Gel

Chocolate Coconut brings out the best (dessert) in all of us. Right out the gate, this flavor strikes with a strong, toasty coconut flavor. But you only have to wait a moment for the rich, fudge-like dark chocolate that comes to balance things out. It reminds us of our favorite island-themed, chocolate-coconut cookies.

+35mg CAFFEINE per serving
Chocolate Coconut Roctane Energy Gel

To start things off, yes – It does taste like a delicious creamsicle. After doing some flavor science testing, we quickly found that the classic vanilla-orange combo definitely works in an Energy Gel form. The real vanilla brings sweet and creamy, while the citrusy orange flavor brings a nice, mildly sour zip.

+35mg CAFFEINE per serving
Vanilla Orange Roctane Energy Gel

Pineapple makes for a great summertime flavor. Made with your favorite tropical fruit flavor, Pineapple is a fantastic option when looking for something slightly sour (but mostly sweet). It’s IRONMAN World Champion Rinny Carfrae’s favorite flavor, so if it’s good enough for Rinny, it’s good enough for us! (And just because it’s good during the summer, doesn’t mean you can’t be transported to a tropical paradise by eating it during those colder months!)

Pineapple Roctane Energy Gel

This will take you back to the days of grabbing a slushy with your friends, and the cherry and lime flavor combo plays with two types of sour. It’s sweet and fruity, but so much more.

+35mg CAFFEINE per serving
Cherry Lime Roctane Energy Gel

Strawberry Kiwi is that crisp, juicy flavor you crave in the summer. It’s not only a perfect blend of kiwi and strawberry essences, but also the perfect blends of sweet and tart. Reach for it when you want to be transported to a tropical paradise during your next run, ride, or adventure.

Strawberry Kiwi Roctane Energy Gel

Lemonade is designed for hot summer training. Not only does it taste just like a refreshing glass of ice-cold lemonade, but it also has the most sodium out of any Energy Gel. This means it’s even better at helping you stay hydrated while you’re out there in the heat…because nothing beats lemonade in the heat.

Lemonade Roctane Energy Gel

Sea Salt Chocolate takes the chocolate game to a whole ‘nother level. Crafted with delicious, dark chocolate that meets textured flakes of sea salt, this flavor is a true delicacy. If you or someone you know is a chocolate fan, this is the one for them.

+35mg CAFFEINE per serving
Sea Salt Chocolate Roctane Energy Gel

When we set out to create a new Roctane flavor crafted specifically for hot, dusty training and racing we asked athletes what flavor they crave in those conditions. Salted Lime was the clear winner. It’s a tart, mouthwatering burst of fresh lime flavor with a salty zing that will keep you feeling your best over the long haul. Plus, a portion of sale proceeds benefit the Western States Endurance Run Foundation.

Chocolate sea salt is the best

I’ve tried all the flavors, which are all good, but to me this one stands out the best for giving me the boost needed to keep running in ultras. Don’t even stop making chocolate sea salt, Gu!

Chocolate delight

You cannot go wrong with the chocolate coconut roctaine. The little bites of coconut in there are just the right addition to make your body think it is eating something when it’s already getting the energy it needs from the gel itself. I love this product.

Reliable Energy

I've ben using Roctane since they were added to the GU lineup. I have never had a "bonk" ride since!! They are with me on EVERY ride, without fail. The variety of flavors and caffeine/no caffeine options makes Roctane always very palatable all year long!! Many thanks from a hardcore endurance athlete!!
