Product Description
Most endurance athletes have their gel figured out. Their hydration is dialed. But ask them why they reach for the same bar they've been eating for three years, and the answer is usually habit. The bar is the one piece of the fueling plan that gets locked in early and never re-examined — even though it's the hardest thing to actually chew and swallow when the effort climbs.
The Ultimate Energy Bar Pack is a six-brand bar collection built to find the format that works for your gut, your effort level, and your taste before your longest sessions of the season.
Six Bars. Six Approaches. One Pack to Find Yours.
The bar that works for a 45-minute tempo session isn't always the one that carries you through hour three, and what settles fine for one athlete sits like a brick for another. Maurten Solid 160 brings the same hydrogel technology as Maurten's drink mixes into solid form — 40 grams of carbohydrates in a format designed to reduce the digestive load at race intensity. Skratch Labs Energy Bar Sport Fuel is a whole food bar built with real ingredients, easy on the stomach and easy to get down mid-effort. Styrkr Bar50 delivers 50 grams of carbohydrates, the pack's highest carb hitter and a strong option for long days when you need sustained fuel. Amacx Energy Oat Bar brings an oat-based real food formula, familiar and easy to digest across a long effort. Enervit E.SPORT Power Crunchy Bar is the pack's texture wildcard, a crunchy format from the Italian brand trusted by European pro endurance teams. Transparent Labs Grass Fed Protein Bar is the pack's protein anchor, built with grass-fed whey for athletes who want recovery fuel built into their training nutrition.
A Structured Test, Not a Snack Box.
One bar per training session at real effort — that's where you'll know if a format works. Note how each bar sits, whether your energy holds, and whether you can actually eat it while working hard. Texture, flavor, digestibility, and timing all matter differently at intensity than at rest.
Before long efforts: Eat a full bar 30 to 45 minutes before heading out for sustained energy from the start.
During training: Aim for one bar per 60 to 90 minutes of sustained effort, earlier rather than later.
Pro tip: Test bars on your hardest training days, not easy sessions. A bar that's easy to eat at rest can be difficult to chew and swallow at threshold.
Stop defaulting to the same bar out of habit. The right bar is the one you can get down when it's hard and that keeps you fueled when it counts — and this is how you find it.
Six bars, six sessions, one clear answer before your next long day out.

Ultimate Energy Bar Pack FAQ's
Everything you need to know about Ultimate Energy Bar Pack.
Bars work best earlier in a ride when you have time to digest solid food. Aim to eat one 30 to 45 minutes before heading out or within the first hour of a long effort. As intensity climbs later in a ride, gels and chews are easier to manage than solid food.
Each bar takes a different approach. Maurten Solid 160 uses hydrogel technology to reduce the digestive load at high intensity. Styrkr Bar50 leads on carbohydrates with 50 grams per bar. Skratch Labs and Amacx use real food whole ingredients for athletes who prefer a cleaner fuel source. Enervit E.SPORT Power Crunchy Bar brings a distinct crunchy texture from a brand trusted by European pro cycling teams. Transparent Labs Grass Fed Protein Bar is the pack's recovery option, built with grass-fed whey for athletes who want protein alongside their ride nutrition.
The higher carbohydrate bars, Styrkr Bar50, Maurten Solid 160, and Amacx Energy Oat Bar, are built for fueling during a ride. The Transparent Labs Grass Fed Protein Bar is better suited to post-ride recovery when your muscles need protein to rebuild. Skratch Labs and Enervit sit in the middle and can serve either purpose depending on effort level and timing.
Maurten Solid 160 is specifically designed for high intensity use. The whole food bars like Skratch, Amacx, and Styrkr are better suited to moderate efforts where your gut has room to process solid food. Testing each bar at the effort level you actually train at is the only way to know what your stomach will tolerate.
Bars and gels serve different roles. Bars are better for the first half of long efforts when intensity is manageable and solid food is easy to eat. As effort climbs or the ride extends past three hours, most athletes shift toward gels and chews that require less digestive effort. The best fueling strategy for long rides typically includes both.
