Maurten Gel Mix 480 is a carbohydrate fuel for endurance sports based on hydrogel technology. It contains 120 grams of carbohydrates, dissolved in 200 ml of water. A new hydrogel fueling format with a texture—thicker than a “ Drink Mix, ” but more liquid than a gel—that can be customized with additions to suit personal taste. Designed for use with the Gel Mix Flask 350 ml —to be carried in a running vest, a hip belt, or a back pocket—equipped with a SpeedFill™ closure for quick refilling and a bite valve for easy consumption.
Details about the MAURTEN Gel Mix 480 - Energy Gel Mix
A new consistency
Gel Mix 480 gives athletes broader access to training and competition with Hydrogel Technology. A flask-based fueling system for athletes who train with purpose—the length and distance of a long session or race, the consistency of an intense training block. Because consistency is key, Gel Mix 480 offers another hydrogel format so more sessions and races can be fully fueled. The texture is thicker than the Drink Mix and more liquid than the gel. Each packet contains 120 grams of carbohydrates dissolved in 200 ml of water. Gel Mix 480 is pH-sensitive—it behaves like the Drink Mix: In the acidic environment of the stomach, it turns into a true gel. This traps the carbohydrates and transports them through the stomach, where they are absorbed. This makes fueling during sports easier.
Customizable
Gel Mix 480 contains no added flavors, preservatives, or artificial colors. To vary the texture and prevent flavor fatigue, it can be combined with Maurten Additions —Cola, Menthol, Orange, or Apple. Gel Mix 480 is designed to be used with the Gel Mix Flask 350 ml and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 72 hours.
Hydrogel for Kilometers—and Days
The farther you go, the more your body relies on the energy you consume. Gel Mix 480 is made for the challenges that demand more—the weeks that require consistency. 120 grams of carbohydrates per packet give athletes more support, flexibility, and control when fueling.
Flask-Based Fueling System
Gel Mix 480 is designed for use with the Gel Mix Flask 350 ml. The softflask features a SpeedFill™ cap for quick refilling, a 200-ml water mark, and a bite valve for easy hydration on challenging terrain. Compatible with a running vest, hip belt, or back pocket. Other softflasks or bottles can be used with the Gel Mix 480, but they are not ideal.
