Maurten Gel Mix 480 is a carbohydrate fuel for endurance sport based on Hydrogel Technology. It contains 120 grams of carbohydrates when combined with 200 ml of water. A different hydrogel fueling format with a texture thicker than Drink Mix and looser than the Gel — Gel Mix 480 can be adjusted to personal taste by combining with Additions.
Designed for fueling with Gel Mix Flask 350 ml to carry in a running vest, waist belt, or back pocket — equipped with a SpeedFill™ cap for fast refills and a bite valve to consume easily.
A new consistency.
Gel Mix 480 gives athletes more access to training and racing with Hydrogel Technology. A flask-driven fueling system for athletes exercising with intent — the duration and distance of a long session or race, the frequency of a sustained training block. Because consistency matters, Gel Mix 480 offers an additional hydrogel fueling format to ensure that more sessions and races are fueled fully. The texture is thicker than Drink Mix and looser than the Gel. Each sachet contains 120 grams of carbohydrates when dissolved in 200 ml of water.
Gel Mix 480 is pH-sensitive. It behaves like Drink Mix, becoming a true gel in the acidity of the stomach. This change encapsulates the carbohydrates, carrying them through the stomach to be absorbed, making fueling for sports easier.
Take it personally.
Gel Mix 480 contains no added flavor, preservatives, or color. For texture variation, and to overcome the limitation of flavor fatigue, it can be combined with Maurten Additions — Cola, Menthol, Orange, or Apple. Gel Mix 480 is designed to be mixed and consumed with Gel Mix Flask 350 ml and can be stored in a fridge for up to 72 hours.
Hydrogel for miles. And days.
Over longer duration and longer distance, the more your body will depend on the fuel you consume. Gel Mix 480 is for the efforts that demand more — the weeks that demand consistency. 120 grams of carbohydrates per sachet gives athletes greater fueling support, flexibility, and control.
Flask-driven fueling system
Gel Mix 480 is designed to be used with Gel Mix Flask 350 ml. The soft flask is equipped with a SpeedFill™ cap for fast refills, a 200 ml fill line for water, and a bite valve for fueling easily over challenging terrain. Made to fit in a running vest, waist belt, or back pocket. Other soft flasks or bottles can be used with Gel Mix 480 but are not optimal — see FAQ for more information.
How is Gel Mix 480 different from Maurten gels?
Gel 100 and Gel 160 are ready-to-use sachets — no preparation needed. Gel Mix 480 is a powder that must be mixed with water and prepared in a soft flask before using. The consistency is different — looser than the sachet gels. The Hydrogel Technology is the same.
Athletes can use Additions with Gel Mix 480 to personalize the taste. Additions cannot be used with sachet gels.
