What are the ingredients of SiS Beta Fuel Gel?
I wasn’t joking when I said super gel. At 60 ml, SiS Beta Fuel Gel provides 158 calories and 40 g of carbohydrates, of which 19 g are from sugar. For reference, a GU energy gel is typically around 30 ml and contains 100 calories and 20-25 g of carbohydrates.
Water, maltodextrin from maize, and fructose are the three main ingredients. Certainly, not a natural gel.
What are the taste and consistency of SiS Beta Fuel Gel?
I tried both Beta Fuel Gel flavors – Orange and Strawberry & Lime. They taste very similar, but Strawberry & Lime has a mild tartness. The texture is thicker than the GO series but less concentrated than GU.
Overall, the taste is palatable, but it’s a lot of gel to ingest.
Packaging
Like other SiS energy gel products, the packaging of Beta Fuel Gel is big, which is understandable since it’s 60 ml. The length is 16cm, so be sure it fits your fuel-carrying method.
The package design is stylish and feels premium. However, I believe the material is thicker than that of the GO series, so it takes a little more effort to tear it open. Not a super big deal as long as you are aware of this slight inconvenience ahead of a race.
When your body is pushed to the limits, it’s best to avoid any annoyance, no matter how minor.
