Torq gets naked… it’s totally tasteless!

Following last year’s Tour de France, Torq’s Performance Director Marcus Willday caught up with Jasper Stuyven of team Trek Segafredo to discuss how their products performed during the event.

Feedback from Jasper highlighted that whilst the wide variety of Torq gel flavours kept fuelling interesting, 3 weeks on the road, racing a grand tour, combined with many hours of daily training, all with a constant need to fuel, means riders are consuming an awful lot of energy product.

During conversation Jasper pointed out that there were times during the Tour when he just wanted to reach for a product with a neutral flavour, something that gave the energy he needed whilst at the same time being hardly noticeable that he was taking it.

With this in mind, ahead of the 2023 edition, Torq have launching the Naked Flavourless Torq Gel, a fuelling solution which offers riders something to cleanse the pallet, whilst being seamlessly interspersed with Torq’s other fuelling units.

The texture of the Naked Flavourless Gel is identical to the flavoured Torq Gels, so is really easy to consume, and it packs the usual potent 30g carbohydrate punch of fast-acting 2:1 Maltodextin:Fructose.

Torq highlights that the new Naked Flavourless Energy Gel provides a particular performance solution for ultra-endurance athletes, and a further option for anyone who wants another Torq flavour that…isn’t actually a flavour!
