Maurten Solid 160 – Energy bar

Solid 160: Maurten’s new and improved energy bar
After successfully launching the Solid 225, Maurten did not rest on its laurels. In order to remain a leader in the fast-evolving world of endurance sport, Maurten closely collaborates with athletes, to make sure it can keep up with the increasingly exacting requirements of elite athletes. To stay on top of the game, Maurten has now launched a new and optimised version of its Solid energy bar, called the Solid 160.

No-nonsense energy bar
Solid energy bars contain oats and rice. Although they may look like a bar, feel like a bar and taste like a bar, they are definitely not your average energy bar. They contain only what you really need and nothing you don’t need. The glucose-fructose mix in the bar ensures optimal sugar uptake during exercise.

Each Solid 160 serving contains 40 grams of carbohydrates, spread across two bite-size bars containing 20 grams of carbohydrates each. In other words, you can decide for yourself whether you wish to have the whole thing in one go or save half a serving for later.

Solid energy bars are not a replacement for Maurten’s Hydrogel drinks and gels, but are the perfect supplement. The bars provide extra energy (from carbohydrates) before, during or after a training session, race or match.

0% hydrogel, 100% Maurten
Solid is the first Maurten product that does not contain the groundbreaking Hydrogel technology. Solid energy bars were developed according to the same core values as Maurten’s other products: science, athletes, nutrients and improved athletic performance. So even though Solid bars do not incorporate any Hydrogel technology, they are very much the high-quality product you’d expect from Maurten.

Free from banned substances (NZVT-certified)
All batches of Solid 160 energy bars are tested by an independent party to make sure they do not contain any banned substances. As a result, Maurten’s Solid 160 is allowed to carry the Informed Sport certification mark, which is the English version of the Dutch NZVT mark, which is also recognised by the Dutch Anti-Doping Authority. So you can rest assured that you are buying a product that is free from prohibited substances.

Additional information
This product does not contain any known allergens and is suitable for vegetarians and vegans.

How to use this product
Solid bars are energy bars, specially formulated to allow you to get some additional carbs at any time of day. You can eat them as a nice and easy snack while you are out and about, or you can eat them while exercising. Solid energy bars can be consumed before, during and after training sessions, races and matches. 

• They are perfect for consumption before intense exercise, to help you load up on carbs, while at the same time minimising your fibre intake. 
• During intense exercise you can take a Solid bar on top of your drinks and gels. They are the perfect snack during 2-hour-plus, low-to-medium-intensity endurance training sessions, between work-outs and in the intervals of your matches.
• After your effort you can take a Solid energy bar to quickly replenish your body’s carbohydrate stores.
