Fyi the Luchos bar can be found at any Latin market in London, you cab buy a box of them for $8/£10 for about 9 bars. They are called bocadillos and come by multiple brands. I am Colombian and this is a traditional food. Fantastic review guys, cheers!
Big fan of the Styrkr bar...actually taste good and the clear guidance on carb content across the range makes it so much easier to know if you're fuelling in the right way.
I use Clif and Veloforte bars. Veloforte have great flavours and textures but recent price rises and I'm looking for something else as bars are my go to energy on the bike. I've tried a few others in your video but like you they are synthetic and dry. Great insight. Keep up the good work.
Great video dude! Veloforte are my current favourites, but have been meaning to try the Styrkr bars as they look great 👌🏻 A gel video would be super interesting as well!
If you're definitely going to eat the bar on the ride then open it before you set off. Makes it easier to get into when riding. That what I use to do for racing.
Whilst the Luchos bars taste amazing (for me anyway), there are horrendous for teeth and the energy boost lasts a lot shorter than a rice-based bar. Loved the video and the comparison between the different styles of bars!
We like veloforte for fairly natural ingredients and easy on the stomach but new to the world of gels, chews etc having just lived on dried fruit to this point! Interestingly maurten and strykr are the two others I see most recommended in the running world. Hope the raclette still tasted good after all those carbs!
It was a HEAVY day 😅 Yea Veloforte are lovely, their flavours are good. Give some of the others a try when you’re buying your next lot. Or maybe you’ll win the giveaway 🤞🏻
Haha, I love the jelly one from decathlon, for me it's a 5 star on easy to open and it's so easy to eat, I save those for when I want to eat mid climb..
The three bars I've been considering having a try of made it to the top 3. There's some I'd love to try but gram flour and pea protein in some bars and supplements make it a pain in the backside, anaphylaxis mid ride is not a good look 😂😂

Ah cool, didn’t realise that! Thanks for letting us know 👌🏻

Yea 100%!
Have most just used flapjack and haribos before so this is super useful to know as I start ramping up the miles!
Very informative and for me who is just embarking on the cycling journey I found the information very helpful as there are many bar options out there!
Cheers Jim!

Yea both are great bars to be fair! Defo give the Styrkr ones a try and let me know how they compare 👌🏻
Gels 👀

Yea not a bad shout! To be fair though sometimes I don’t eat all my food so it’s nice not to have to waste things after a ride.
Also the opening test should be done on rollers. 😉
Don’t think we’d have made it to the end 😂
Haha so oddly relaxing to watch this while stretching! Great bit of experimenting lads! 😊

Mid climb snack?! You’re crazy 😅

Yea avoid those, the ones with natural ingredients definitely do your stomach favours.
What's happening with the ironman triathlon challenge your mate is doing??
Coming soon 👀
