Super High-Carb Sport Drink Mix - 8-Pack

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I have been dialing in my carbohydrate intake for long gran fondos, and the Super High-Carb Sport Drink Mix has made hitting 100 grams per hour genuinely manageable on the bike. Two bottles, zero gut issues, and the Cluster Dextrin keeps energy output smooth through the final climbs rather than fading. For high-output days when solid food slows you down, this is the most practical and effective option I have used."

Hitting 100 grams of carbohydrates per hour has moved from fringe sports science to mainstream race strategy, and the biggest obstacle for most cyclists is not willingness but logistics. Chewing through gels, bars, and chews at pace on technical terrain is a management problem, and it gets harder as effort and duration increase. The Skratch Labs Super High-Carb Sport Drink Mix removes that problem entirely by putting 50 grams of carbohydrates and 200 calories into your bottle, allowing you to execute your fueling strategy without taking your hands off the bars or your head out of the effort.

The formulation centers on Cluster Dextrin, also known as Highly-Branched Cyclic Dextrin, which is a complex carbohydrate with a molecular structure that allows it to pass through the stomach rapidly and absorb steadily in the small intestine. Unlike maltodextrin or fructose-heavy blends that can cause osmotic stress and GI distress at high intake rates, Cluster Dextrin keeps gastric emptying rate high and gut discomfort low even when you are deep in threshold or above. Each serving delivers only 4 grams of sugar, which means you get the caloric density you need without the glycemic spike that derails pacing on longer efforts. Sodium comes in at 200mg per serving to support fluid retention and electrolyte balance, and the mix is designed to be stacked with Skratch's Sport Hydration Drink Mix if your sweat rate demands more electrolytes on top of the carbohydrate load.

Practically, the Super High-Carb Sport Drink Mix is built to flex. Riders targeting 60 grams of carbs per hour can run a single serving across a larger bottle. Those pushing 100 grams per hour can load two servings across two bottles and carry nothing else for efforts up to three hours. It mixes clear in water with a light, real-fruit flavor that does not become cloying over hours of drinking, which matters more than most athletes realize until they have gagged down a syrupy bottle at hour four of a race. For criteriums, road races, gran fondos, and long training blocks where solid food intake is impractical, this is a liquid fueling system that actually holds up under real race conditions.
