AI generated translation
AI-generated translation refers to the process of using artificial intelligence, particularly machine learning models, to automatically translate text or speech from one language to another. These systems, such as neural machine translation models, analyze large datasets of multilingual content to learn patterns and associations between languages. The generated translations are based on statistical probabilities and context learned during training.

Maximum energy supply, highest compatibility, and fastest possible regeneration - we tested the endurance concept of the Swiss nutrition specialist during bikepacking.21.11.24 08:06 602024-11-21T08:06:00+01:00

Winforce is a Swiss sports nutrition manufacturer that focuses on energy supply and recovery in endurance sports. The products are particularly designed for good compatibility, effective energy delivery, and support for recovery.

In terms of energy supply, the Swiss fundamentally distinguish between two types of exertion: long to very long (e.g., ultra-cycling) and rather short and intense.

After consulting with the Austrian Winforce importer, they put together the following range for our 4-day bikepacking trip - mostly longer exertions at low to medium intensity. Energetically, it was more than sufficient: Although the drinks, gels, and bars tasted excellent, we couldn't burn it all off along the way.

Winforce Endurance Concept

The Endurance Concept from Winforce is geared towards a variety of endurance performances and is primarily based on liquid nutrition. This is characterized by long-lasting, staggered energy release, particularly good tolerability, and shortened recovery time.

Winforce Carbo Basic Plus

The unique carbohydrate combination of the Carbo Basic Plus drink powder allows you to absorb 60 - 90g of carbohydrates per hour under maximum load with the best tolerance, thus preventing a hunger knock.

Ideally composed of short, medium, and long-chain carbohydrates, gentle on the stomach, especially due to the content of potato starch, and free from lactose, gluten, or artificial additives. Vegan!

Also suitable as a carbohydrate loader before a competition.

Flavors: Grapefruit, Peach, Lemon, Neutral
Packaging size: 900g bag or 10x 60g box
RRP: € 29.00

Application & Bikepacking Tip

1 Serving = Fill a water bottle (750 ml) with about 250 ml of water, add 60 g of powder, and shake. Fill the water bottle completely with water and shake again. Depending on temperature and intensity, 0.4 - 0.8 liters of fluid and 30 to 90 g of carbohydrates should be consumed per hour under exertion.

Bikepacking Tip: We fill the powder for 3-4 additional riding days into a dust-dry 500 ml water bottle and add the measuring spoon. This way, we always have the drink powder within reach, save storage space, and avoid the risk of the powder packet or transport container opening in the bag or backpack.

Conclusion on Winforce Carbo Basic Plus
The flavors are varied and reminiscent of maltodextrin with a subtle note. The powder dissolves quickly and without clumping and is pleasantly easy to drink - almost like pure water, with just a little sweetness. Our Bike-Michi has been using Winforce products for a long time and gladly recommends them.

Winforce Ultra Energy Complex Gels

Energy Gel with carbohydrates and fatty acids. The high-quality vegetable oils conserve glycogen reserves and support fat metabolism as well as performance over a longer period.

Natural ingredients, very good taste, no need to drink afterwards.

Flavors: Hazelnut, Coconut, Banana, Chestnut, Salty Peanut
Package size: 10x 25g sachets
RRP: € 35.00

Conclusion on the Ultra Energy Complex Gels
The gels come in many delicious flavors. They can be easily opened and, due to their creamy consistency (similar to Nutella), they are easy to eat - without any drips or mess.

Winforce Panforte Bar

Handmade, vegan almond bar from a Swiss organic bakery in three varieties (with dates, citrus, or berries), completely without added preservatives.

Organic, vegan, gluten-free.

Flavors: Citrus Almond, Date Almond Cacao, Berry Almond
Packaging size: 5x 60g or 24x 60g carton
RRP: € 21.00 or € 96.00

Our Conclusion on the Winforce Ultra Energy Complex Gels
The combination of fruits, nuts, and selected spices offers an intense taste experience. The bars are firm but not sticky and easy to chew. Although none of us would have "voluntarily" chosen the citrus flavor, it surprisingly emerged as an internal favorite.
