Deciding whether to use Chews or Gels is very much a personal preference.
Each have their own benefits. Both deliver pro performance.
We pioneered the original soft energy chew as a powerful alternative to energy gels, allowing athletes to pace fuelling better during long efforts.
When to Choose Energy Chews:
- Best for steady fuelling and performance over time
- Ideal for long training sessions or endurance efforts
- Great if you prefer a soft, chewable texture over more liquid gels
- Easier to control your energy intake gradually
- Paced, more manageable fuelling over time
👉🏻 Choose chews when you want energy control, comfort, and consistency.
When to Choose Energy Gels:
- Best for rapid energy and in fast race conditions
- Ideal during high-intensity sessions
- Perfect when you need quick carbs
- Great for late-stage fatigue when chewing feels difficult
- Easy to carry and simple to track intake
- Veloforte Gels can (uniquely) be diluted into water bottles too, as an energy drink
👉🏻 Go for gels when performance and speed are your priority.
