Product Information

Full details

The Torq Proto 1:1 Energy Gel is designed for endurance athletes, such as cyclists and runners, who engage in high-intensity training and racing where maximum carbohydrate intake is critical for performance. The key benefit is its advanced 1:1 maltodextrin-to-fructose ratio, which facilitates rapid absorption of up to 120g of carbohydrates per hour; however, users should be aware that such high hourly intake requires consistent, disciplined practice to ensure digestive comfort during sustained efforts.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

How many gels can I take per hour?

You can consume up to three gels per hour, providing 120g of carbohydrates, provided you have practiced this intake level during training.

Do I need to drink water with these gels?

Yes, it is highly recommended to consume water with every gel to ensure proper absorption and maintain hydration levels.

Is this product suitable for vegans?

Torq energy products are generally developed with vegan-friendly ingredients; please check the specific ingredient list on the packaging for the latest updates.

Can I use these for short runs?

While you can use them, these are specifically formulated for high-intensity, long-duration efforts where high carbohydrate intake is required.

Are there different flavors available?

Yes, the Torq Proto range includes options such as Forest Fruits, Strawberry Yoghurt, and Clear.

How should I store these gels?

Keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and avoid extreme temperature fluctuations.

Troubleshooting

Feeling bloated after consumption

Reduce the number of gels consumed per hour and ensure you are drinking sufficient water with each intake.

Gel texture is too thick in cold weather

Keep the gel packets in an inner jersey pocket close to your body heat to maintain a more fluid consistency.

Difficulty opening the package during a race

Practice tearing the tab cleanly before your race, or pre-tear the top slightly if you find it difficult to open under high intensity.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High 40g carbohydrate concentration per gel
  • Optimized dual-source glucose/fructose absorption
  • Supports high intake rates of up to 120g/hour
  • Convenient, easy-to-swallow texture for on-the-go use

Cons

  • Requires practice to tolerate high-carb intake
  • High caloric density may be unnecessary for shorter, low-intensity sessions
  • Needs careful hydration management

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To integrate Torq Proto 1:1 Gels into your nutrition plan, start by testing them during training sessions rather than on race day. Begin with a lower intake—perhaps one gel per hour—to gauge your stomach's tolerance, and gradually increase the number of gels as you adapt to the 120g/hour protocol.

  • Compatibility: These gels are compatible with all standard hydration systems, including soft flasks and jersey pockets.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. While they are resilient, keep them from freezing or exposure to extreme heat, as this can affect the texture and consistency.
  • Hydration: Always carry at least 500ml of water per hour to assist with the absorption of the concentrated carbohydrates.
