FAQ

When should I use caffeinated gels versus regular GO gels?

Use regular GO gels for base fueling throughout a ride, and switch to caffeinated gels in the final 45 to 90 minutes when fatigue and mental effort compound. Timing caffeine intake this way maximizes the benefit without building too much tolerance over a long day.

What is the difference between 75mg and 150mg caffeine?

75mg is roughly the equivalent of a strong espresso. 150mg (Double Espresso) is appropriate for riders who are caffeine-tolerant and need a stronger stimulus for decisive moments in a race. Start with 75mg if you are unsure how you respond.

Can I combine these with other caffeinated products?

Be aware of total daily caffeine intake if stacking multiple caffeinated products. A common approach is using GO + Caffeine gels alongside regular GO gels rather than using exclusively caffeinated gels throughout a long ride.

Best For

Road and gravel racers who use caffeine strategically during events over 90 minutes, and training riders who want a mental edge on hard days. The Double Espresso variant is popular for criterium finishes and mountain race climbs.
