Precision Fuel 30 Caffeine Energy Gel
A 30g carb + 100mg caffeine punch for race day surges and early wakeups. Easy to rip, easy to down, and a go-to when I need that extra gear.

Why I Like It
This is my go-to caffeine gel for big race days when I want a strong kick and a nice big dose of carbs. Each gel delivers 100mg of caffeine (like a cup of coffee) plus 30g of carbs, making it perfect for early-race wakeups or late-race surges.
Iβll take one near the start if Iβm feeling a little too chill, and again ~20 minutes before a final big effort β like a climb, breakaway, or push to the finish. Itβs not the tastiest gel Iβve used (caffeine-heavy gels never are), but it goes down easy and does the job without gut issues.
Quick Specs
- 100mg caffeine per gel (equivalent to 1 cup of coffee)
- 30g of carbohydrates (2:1 glucose to fructose ratio)
- Mild flavor β not too sweet
- Compact packaging with attached tear tab (makes for only a single piece of trash)
In My Setup
- Early in a race: If Iβm still settling into race mode, Iβll use this to kickstart focus and effort.
- Late in a race: I take one before final climbs or finish efforts when I need a jolt.
- I pair this with
Neversecond C30 gels βοΈ for flavor variety and extra sodium (200mg/gel).
- The tab design is brilliant β no fumbling with trash or sticky pockets.
Tips
- This is a supplement gel, not something I eat every 30 minutes β I use it strategically for the caffeine.
- Try it in training before you race with it β 100mg caffeine can be too much for some riders mid-race.
- Keep it in an easy-to-reach spot β jersey pocket or taped to your top tube for late-race use.
Who Itβs For
Anyone racing endurance MTB, gravel, or long road events who wants a simple, reliable caffeine+carb gel for high-effort moments. Whether you use caffeine regularly or only on race day, this is a solid tool to keep in your nutrition plan.
Alternatives
-
Neversecond C30 gels βοΈ : Best-tasting 30g carb gel Iβve used β includes 200mg sodium but no caffeine.
-
Neversecond C30 gels w. Caffeine βοΈ : Same great tasting gel with 75mg of caffeine a little less caffeine than Precision but an excellent choice.
-
Honey Stinger Caffeine Gel βοΈ : Classic gel consistency and tastes good. Nice option thatβs less expensive and less caffeine (32mg) than the options above.
