Escapa presents Maurten 160 Gel, featuring the same Maurten hydrogel technology that has proven effective for athletes, but in a larger quantity.

Maurten 160 Gel is a larger hydrogel option—containing 40 grams of carbohydrates in each 65-gram packet. Proven technology with just 6 natural ingredients, free of added colors, preservatives, or flavorings. For athletes who want more energy in every gel to fuel their training and races.

Gel 160 is manufactured using hydrogel technology, with just 6 natural ingredients. A biopolymer matrix, filled with a mixture of fructose and glucose (08:1 ratio), facilitates the intake of high concentrations of carbohydrates per hour during training and competition.

Long distance? Take more. It’s that simple. Gel 160 is for athletes who want more energy in every gel. In endurance sports, to maintain performance, it’s important to refuel regularly. Sometimes that’s not easy. Intense races and adverse conditions can affect when you eat and drink. And the farther you go, the more carbohydrates you’ll need to maintain your performance. Gel 160 helps athletes get the right amount of carbohydrates per hour, no matter the situation.

Maurten works closely with athletes, conducting performance tests and listening to their feedback in real-world situations. There was one consistent message: “To get more carbs during long sessions, can we take a larger gel?” Maurten studied the science and saw that it made sense. So we did it. Gel 160 is the result of the close relationship between Maurten and elite sports, built on the trust in hydrogel technology.

Clean

6 natural ingredients. No preservatives. No artificial flavors or allergens. No mess on your hands or in your pockets. It doesn’t get any cleaner than this.

This Is the Gel

Other traditional energy gels tend to be a liquid syrup. Gel 160 has a firmer, gel-like texture. Which makes it a gel. So you could say this is The Gel.

No Gut, No Glory

Thanks to hydrogel technology, Gel 160 allows for the smooth transport of carbohydrates through the stomach, where they’re absorbed more quickly, reducing the risk of gastrointestinal discomfort.

More or less—it’s the same thing.

This is still the GEL. It’s still the purest. It’s still the real deal. No artificial colors. It’s still hydrogel—that’s the innovation. Gel 160 uses the technology proven to work for athletes—it just has more of it. 40 grams of carbohydrates in each 65-gram packet.

Gel 100 vs. Gel 160

Gel 100 and Gel 160 use the same patented Hydrogel technology with the same fructose-to-glucose ratio—0.8:1. Gel 100 contains 25 grams of carbohydrates, and Gel 160 contains 40 grams. Both sizes are interchangeable, depending on the training session or Carrera situation. It’s a system that allows athletes to fine-tune their nutritional strategy.

Science is part of our nature. And vice versa.

Maurten products are developed for endurance athletes. Driven by research and science to solve problems and improve performance. It all began in 2015. The patented hydrogel technology, which encapsulates high concentrations of carbohydrates, made sports fuel easier to tolerate. The innovation results in less stress on the stomach.

Gel 160 in the Real World

The longer the Carrera. The longer the training session, the faster time flies. It’s easy to forget about nutrition. It’s a peculiarity of endurance sports that, sometimes, the more time we have to think, the less we focus on doing the right thing. When the race is frantic, when opportunities to stop are fewer, when your head is down—pushing forward—nutrition gets neglected. “When the race is intense, when stops are fewer, I’ll eat when I catch up to the person in front of me.” Good intentions, but time flies. The kilometers fly by. And before you know it, fatigue has caught up with you. Gel 160 delivers more energy in every packet: 40 grams. Replenish whenever you can. Keep consuming enough carbohydrates per hour.
