A 60-gram chewable energy bar with 45 grams of carbohydrates. The SiS Beta Fuel Energy Chew Bar Lemon provides the same 1:0.8 glucose-to-fructose ratio as the rest of the Beta Fuel range, but in a solid chewable form instead of a liquid gel. It has a fresh lemon flavour with a slight tanginess. It can be broken into six pieces, each containing approximately 7 grams of carbohydrates. Gluten-free and caffeine-free. Informed Sport certified.
Gels are liquid and can be swallowed in one go. This works well for many athletes, but during prolonged exercise, the flavour or texture of gels can become unpleasant. A chew bar requires chewing, which feels completely different: the chewing motion gives the impression of eating rather than drinking, and you consume the carbohydrates in smaller amounts and at a steadier pace.
The gels in the Beta Fuel range use maltodextrin and fructose. The chew bar uses glucose syrup and fructose syrup. The principle is the same: two carbohydrate sources in a 1:0.8 ratio. 45 grams of carbohydrates per 60-gram bar.
The bar is scored into six separate pieces. You can break the bar beforehand and store the pieces in a bag so you can take them one by one. Alternatively, you can open the bar and break off a piece while riding. Each piece provides approximately 7 grams of carbohydrates. For most athletes, that is enough for 10 to 15 minutes of intake at a pace where you do not want to stop or spend a long time eating.
The chew bar is intended to complement or replace gels in the Beta Fuel strategy. For those who ride or run for long periods and want variety between liquid and solid energy sources, it pairs well with gels without complicating the carbohydrate calculation.
A 60-gram bar provides 45 grams of carbohydrates and can be broken beforehand into six individual blocks, each containing approximately 7 grams of carbohydrates. This is useful if, during exercise, you prefer to consume small amounts at regular intervals instead of an entire product at once. You can fine-tune your intake without having to open new packaging.
The chew bar uses the same formulation as the rest of the Beta Fuel range: glucose and fructose in a 1:0.8 ratio. In the liquid gels, this is achieved using maltodextrin and fructose. In the solid bar, using glucose syrup and fructose syrup.
Not everyone enjoys consuming gels hour after hour. A chew bar requires chewing, which some athletes find more pleasant than gels. It fits in a race bib pocket or running belt and can be consumed without water or a bottle. Use it alongside gels, or as a complete replacement depending on your preference that day.
The bar consists of carbohydrates, pectin as a gelling agent, and a colouring agent. No fat, no protein, no caffeine. There is no maximum daily amount. Gluten-free. The only limit is your hourly carbohydrate requirement of 80 to 120 grams. Each batch is screened by Informed Sport for the WADA prohibited list.

The gels are liquid, 60 ml per sachet, 40 grams of carbohydrates, ready to use. The chew bars are solid, 60 grams per bar, 45 grams of carbohydrates, to be chewed. The carbohydrate source also differs slightly: the gels use maltodextrin and fructose, the bars use glucose syrup and fructose syrup. The principle (1:0.8 ratio, two carbohydrate sources) is the same. The choice is a matter of preference for texture and use during exercise.
The bar can be broken into six squares in advance, each with approximately 7 grams of carbohydrates. You can take half the bar (three squares, approximately 22 grams of carbohydrates) and save the other half for later. Or you can break it into pieces right away before you leave. In cold conditions, the bar becomes harder and more difficult to break, so that's something to consider during winter training or early spring rides.
One bar provides 45 grams of carbohydrates. For the recommended 80 to 120 grams per hour, two bars per hour are needed at the lower end of the range. If you combine with a gel, the 40 grams from the gel count towards this. One bar plus one gel provides 85 grams, which falls precisely within the recommended zone for most endurance athletes.
Yes, the ingredient list is identical for both flavors. Only the aroma differs. Both contain turmeric extract as a coloring agent for the yellow hue. There are no additional colorings or ingredients that differ from flavor to flavor.
In warm conditions, the bar may become slightly softer but remains usable. In cold, it becomes harder and less elastic, which makes breaking it into pieces more difficult. A practical tip: before you leave in cold conditions, break the bar into pieces in the packaging so you can grab it more easily on the go.
The mix pack contains a combination of lemon and orange bars in one order. Convenient if you want to try both flavors or alternate without buying a full pack of each flavor. The contents and quantity per order are stated on the product page.
