Neversecond C30 Energy Gel

Why I Like It

Hats off to the Neversecond team sponsoring races because after a grabbed a Neversecond handup late in the Silver Rush 50 at Leadville, I was hooked. The Neversecond C30 Gel has become one of my go-to race fuels because it’s easy on the stomach, great flavor, and consistent. Each pouch packs 30g of carbs with a 2:1 glucose-to-fructose ratio, which means I can stack 3-4 gels per hour without hitting that gut-bomb feeling.

It also has 200mg of sodium per gel, which is a huge bonus when racing in the heat or on long endurance days where electrolyte balance matters as much as carbs.

Quick Specs

• 30g of carbohydrates (2:1 glucose to fructose ratio)
• 200mg sodium per gel
• Taste reminds me of Gatorade — not overly sweet
• Smooth, low-viscosity texture that’s easy to swallow without water
• Clean tear-off top for minimal fuss

In My Setup

• Baseline race fuel: I’ll take one every ~15-30 minutes to keep carbs steady.
• I mix them in with Precision caffeine gels ↗️ or Neversecond C30+ caffeine gels ↗️ for a caffeine boost when needed.
• The sodium content makes these ideal for hot-weather races or long climbs where sweat loss adds up.

Tips

• Use these as your steady-state fueling gel — stack 2–4 per hour with drink mix or chews if needed.
• Because of the great flavor, they’re easy to take late in a race when palette fatigue sets in.
• I like to tape one or two to my top tube for quick access in races.

Who It’s For

• Riders who want a clean, simple 30g carb gel they can rely on for both training and racing.
• Perfect for endurance MTB, gravel, and road racers looking for gut-friendly, high-carb fueling.
• Great choice if you struggle with overly sweet gels or want something you can repeat hour after hour.

Alternatives

• Neversecond C30+ Caffeine Gel ↗️ : Same formula with 75mg caffeine — ideal for when you need a lift.
• Precision Fuel 30 Caffeine Gel ↗️ : A bigger caffeine hit (100mg) with the same 30g carbs.
• Honey Stinger Gel ↗️ : More traditional gel texture and sweeter flavor — good if you prefer a familiar taste.
