How easily does it mix? I’ve always had issues with Maurten not easily mixing well ending with a glob at the bottom of the bottle. I like that it gives 60g of carbs as I don’t want ALL my carbs on a bottle. For my day to day riding I mix my own but for races I just like to carry pre packaged stuff…

I’m replying for a bump to the thread: I find Maurten does not mix well if the water is ice cold. I have had this happen on an event or two.

I’m on the sugar and salt wagon now, but I did use roctane for a while and didn’t have any issues with its mixibility. Overall I quite liked it.

I’ve heard that. I usually just use tap water so not ice cold but cold. Yesterday was a cold ride around 40 degrees. When I got home my bottle with Maurten just had the Maurten glob at the bottom. I do like untapped’s ginger maple aid but that is only 20g carbs per serving but I’ve thought about a…

I’m definitely going to give it a try.

It mixes very well. I fill my bottle half with ice then water. Never had an issue with it being mixed. It is what I prefer to use as the flavour is very light

Summit Tea flavor was the inspiration for adding instant black tea to my sugar-salt-water mix even at 100g of carbs per 500ml the black tea helps it not taste sickly sweet. Instant Jasmine and Green have similar but not identical results.

That’s good to know. I don’t know why it didn’t dawn on me to try that with Maurten. But I ordered some Gu roctane to try it out.

I’ve really enjoyed Roctane and it’s probably my favorite well-rounded drink. It mixes up well enough. Not as well as something like Skratch Hydration, but way better than their Super High-Carb mix. It seems like the mixes that are finer carb-based (such as Skratch Super High-Carb or Maurten 320) …

I’ve liked Maurten as I like a very mild taste and it’s been tolerable when on hot rides. I’m trying to make sure at unbound this year that I have a drink mix that actually mixes well when I’m at neutral water stops. It definitely trying Gu roctane during training

Very well. I used Gu Roctane for years at 90g an hour and up to 270g in one 1L bottle without issues. I usually mix my “super bottles” with warm tap water then add ice afterwards.
