A distinct gel option
Maurten Gel 100 is the standard non-caffeinated gel in this model family. The manufacturer specifies 25 g carbohydrate per 40 g sachet, using glucose and fructose in a 1:0.8 ratio. It lists six ingredients and no added flavour, colour or preservatives.
Maurten describes a firmer hydrogel texture rather than a syrup-like consistency. That makes it an alternative to compare with liquid gels, chews and drink mixes; texture preference remains individual. The manufacturer also identifies Gel 100 as on-course fuel at major endurance events including the T100 World Series and several large marathons.
Know the exact product
Gel 100, Gel 100 CAF 100 and Gel 160 are different products. CAF 100 adds caffeine, while Gel 160 supplies a different carbohydrate amount. Match the exact packet name when comparing a retailer's bundle or marketplace result.
This entry covers the standard Gel 100. Single sachets and boxes are buying quantities within this model, rather than separate directory products. Check the sachet count before comparing a box price with a single-packet offer.
Practical buying guidance
Buy a small quantity first if you have not used this texture. Practise opening, carrying and consuming the gel during training before an important event. The product's use by elite athletes does not guarantee personal tolerance or a performance improvement.
Build any race plan around all the fuel and drinks you expect to use. One sachet's carbohydrate figure is a specification, not a personalised hourly prescription. Gel also does not replace your wider hydration plan.
Buying in Asia
Red Dot Running Company has a Singapore listing for the exact Gel 100 model. That listing was marked sold out when researched, so check current stock or another authorised source. Marketplace search results require additional seller and expiry checks.
The Indonesia button is an affiliate-linked Shopee search, not a vetted seller. The Singapore retailer link is direct and not represented as tracked. Confirm expiry, packet count, storage condition and authenticity before buying discounted stock.
