Gel Mix 480

When training and racing demands intentional and considerable fueling, consistency is what gets you to the finish fully fueled. Gel Mix 480 is built around that idea.

Maurten's Gel Mix 480 gives you more access to Hydrogel Technology across those long efforts. It's not here to replace Gel or Drink Mix — it's an additional format built to make sure more of your session and race gets fueled fully.

A New Consistency, On Purpose – Thicker than Drink Mix, looser than Gel. One sachet dissolved in 200 ml of water gives you 120 grams of carbohydrates — enough to fuel a long effort outright, or split into two 60-gram pours if you'd rather pace it out.

Built for Long Distances and Long Days – This is fuel for the efforts that demand more and the weeks that demand consistency. Gel Mix 480 gives you greater fueling support, flexibility, and control when you're logging serious hours.

Neutral Fuel With Options – No added flavor, preservatives, or color. If flavor fatigue starts working against you over hours or days, add a Maurten Addition — Cola, Menthol, Orange, or Apple — without touching how the hydrogel works.

The Science of 480

Gel Mix 480 is pH-sensitive — like Drink Mix, it stays a liquid in the flask and only becomes a hydrogel once it hits the acidity of your stomach. That change encapsulates the carbohydrates and carries them through your stomach to be absorbed and used as fuel, instead of sitting there causing distress. Same Hydrogel Technology as the rest of the Maurten lineup — just a new format for delivering it.

How to Use Gel Mix 480

Prep it right: Pour 200 ml of water into a Gel Mix Flask, add one sachet, seal, and shake until fully dissolved. Let it rest 5 minutes before drinking.

Time it: Take it across a single long effort, or split into two 60-gram portions. Prepared Gel Mix keeps sealed in the fridge for up to 72 hours, so you can mix it the night before.

Make it yours: Drop in a Maurten Addition after mixing if you want variety on long days — it's built to combine without disrupting the hydrogel.

Fuel more. More often. The real barrier to consistent fueling has always been value — more carbs per serving, more value per gram, and a flexible system that makes high-frequency fueling the default instead of the exception. That's what long-distance and ultra athletes are already finding with Gel Mix 480 — one prep, carried in a flask, ready when the effort demands more.

An additional hydrogel fueling format for distance and duration. Not a better gel. Not a better drink mix. A new way to stay fueled when the miles — and the days — stack up.
