80-100 grams per 750mL bottle?

Does getting 80-90 grams of carbs into a bottle using another product like First Endurance EFS ultimately the same thing? They have a more diluted recommendation which is right in that 6-8% range. If I mix EFS per the recommended, it will be hard to get 80-90 grams of carb per 750mL bottle on the bike without carrying a lot of water to go along with it.

How are people getting 100g+ carbs in a bottle?

There is no need to keep concentration as low as the oft-cited 6-8%, or even 10-12%. With some practice lots of folks tend to handle 12-18% just fine, especially in colder weather where hydration is less likely to become compromised. 120g/hr could be consumed with 750mL + 1000mg sodium via Sodium Citrate and you’re good to go. FYI: Sodium Citrate has about 1000mg sodium per tsp. Table salt is about 2000mg sodium per tsp.
