When is 90g of carbohydrates per hour the right choice for a cyclist?

Tailwind High Carb Fuel Box of 6 gives you a race-block supply of the fuel purpose-built for high-intensity efforts — 360 calories and 90g of carbohydrates per packet in the scientifically validated 2:1 glucose-to-fructose ratio, with 680mg of sodium and 90mg of potassium for complete electrolyte support. Tailwind Nutrition launched High Carb Fuel in April 2025, developed with direct input from elite athletes including triathlete Paula Findlay, cyclists Christopher Blevins and Sarah Sturm, and Eric Lagerstrom. The three-source carbohydrate formula — dextrose, maltodextrin, and fructose — uses two different gut transporter pathways simultaneously to deliver more carbohydrates per hour than a single-source formula can, while keeping GI distress at bay.

Available in two flavors: Lemonade and Ginger Lime. The Ginger Lime formula includes organic ginger extract to support digestion at the higher carbohydrate concentrations this product demands. Mix one packet into 16 to 24 oz of water per hour. Critical: most athletes require a gut-training ramp-up of several weeks before using High Carb Fuel at full concentration. Tailwind recommends starting with one packet over 90 minutes and building up gradually. Do not stack with gels, chews, or other Tailwind products — High Carb Fuel is designed to saturate carbohydrate absorption on its own. The box of 6 is the right buy for athletes who have completed the gut adaptation process and want a race-season supply. Gluten-free, vegan, dairy and soy free.

FAQ

How do I use High Carb Fuel?: Mix one packet with 16 to 24 oz of water and sip steadily over one hour. For concentrated use, mix at the lower end of the water range and consume additional plain water alongside.

Do I need to train my gut first?: Yes. Tailwind recommends a multi-week ramp-up: one packet over 90 minutes in week one, building gradually toward one packet per hour. Going too fast increases GI distress risk. Buy the individual packet format to start the ramp-up process.

Can I combine High Carb Fuel with gels or other Tailwind products?: No. Adding other products saturates the carbohydrate absorption pathways and increases GI distress risk. High Carb Fuel is designed as a standalone source.

Should I use High Carb Fuel or Endurance Fuel?: Endurance Fuel is for training and moderate-to-hard efforts. High Carb Fuel is for your absolute hardest days where 90g of carbohydrates per hour is justified and your gut is trained to handle it.

Best For

Cyclists who have completed gut training and want a race-season supply of High Carb Fuel for their highest-intensity events. The box of 6 provides enough for 6 race-day efforts. Try the individual packet first during the gut adaptation period.
