MetriqFuel RACE | 1:1 HBCD + Fructose High-Carb Fuel 110g+ per hour

High-carb race fuel for 110g+ per hour

MetriqFuel RACE is a premium 1:1 blend of highly branched cyclic dextrin (HBCD) and fructose for experienced endurance athletes fuelling above 110 grams of carbohydrate per hour.

It is built for racing and selected race-specific training sessions where very high carbohydrate delivery, drinkability and stomach comfort are priorities.

There is no prescribed upper limit. Your intake should be based on your individual requirements, experience and proven tolerance in training.

Why HBCD?

HBCD is a large, highly branched glucose polymer.

Its high molecular weight means it can deliver a large amount of carbohydrate while contributing fewer dissolved particles than smaller carbohydrate molecules. That is the formulation advantage when carbohydrate concentration climbs.

RACE uses HBCD as its glucose source, combined with fructose in a precise 1:1 ratio.

Why 1:1?

Once digested, HBCD supplies glucose through the SGLT1 pathway. Fructose uses the separate GLUT5 pathway.

Combining glucose and fructose allows both intestinal transport pathways to contribute during very high-carbohydrate fuelling.

The 1:1 ratio is built for experienced athletes pushing beyond 110 g/hr.

RACE or PRO?

Both products use a 1:1 glucose-to-fructose ratio. The difference is the glucose source and intended use.

Choose PRO when:

• You want the best-value 1:1 fuel.
• You are fuelling at over 110 g/hr.
• Works well for your training and racing.
• Cost per hour is your main priority.

Choose RACE when:

• You are fuelling above 110 g/hr.
• You already have extensive high-carb fuelling experience.
• You want HBCD as your glucose source.
• You are preparing a concentrated race-day fuel system.
• Drinkability and stomach comfort at high concentrations are priorities.
• You want a premium, race-specific formulation.

RACE is not automatically better for every athlete. It is a specialised option for athletes whose race-day carbohydrate demands justify it.

Who RACE is for

• Experienced athletes fuelling above 110 g/hr.
• Long-course triathletes.
• Cyclists executing very high-carb race plans.
• Marathon and ultra-endurance athletes.
• Selected race-specific training sessions.
• Race day, after the complete strategy has been tested.

840g of high-carb race fuel

• Pack size: 840g
• Positioned for: 110g+ per hour

The number of race hours provided by each bag will vary with your chosen carbohydrate intake.

When to use it

RACE is designed primarily for competition and selected race-specific sessions.

Use those sessions to validate:

• Your carbohydrate intake per hour.
• Powder concentration.
• Fluid intake.
• Fuelling frequency.
• Race intensity.
• Temperature and environmental conditions.
• Your individual stomach response.

RACE is not necessary for every easy or short training session.

Important fuelling guidance

RACE does not eliminate the risk of gastrointestinal discomfort.

Total carbohydrate intake, fluid intake, drink concentration, exercise intensity and individual tolerance all matter.

Work up to very high carbohydrate rates slowly. Test your exact concentration, fluid volume, timing and hourly intake repeatedly in training.

Never use a new fuelling strategy for the first time on race day.

RACE does not prescribe a maximum intake. Higher is not automatically better. Use the carbohydrate rate that supports your performance and that you can consistently tolerate.
