SOUPLESSE SELECTIONS - DECEMBER

A Curated Collection of Cycling Joy

Welcome to the final stretch of the year, fellow cyclists! As the days grow shorter and the weather turns colder, we know many of you are trading in your road bikes for indoor trainers and cosy winter rides.

But just because the outdoor season is winding down, doesn't mean the cycling fun has to stop. At Souplesse Cycling, we've curated a special December box filled with goodies to keep you inspired and motivated all winter long, indoors and out. From high-performance gear to stylish apparel, our December box has something for everyone.

Nutritionally we now have four bundles, one from each of our trusted brands:

• Maurten - our favourite combination of Gel 160 and Solid 225. Gel 160 makes the most of Maurten's hydrogel technology — encapsulating 40 grams of carbohydrates in each serving. Solid 225 contains a glucose-fructose mix that shows similar absorption rates to carbohydrate drinks and gives you something to chew on!

• Precision Fuel & Hydration - PF30 Gels and Chews to rapidly deliver 30g of carbs into your system with a non-sickly taste. Light and easy on the stomach and lightweight and compact to carry.

• STYRKR - Gel 30, Bar 50 and STYRKRTHON. Gel 30 brings 30g of carbohydrates and a little nitric oxide boost to fuel top performance. Bar 50 has that bit greater carbohydrate content and all natural ingredients to fuel your rides. To recover we love the play on the old Marathon, with the STYRKRTHON a vegan protein bar that is super tasty.

• Veloforte - a full range of options including bars, gels and chews! The bars use all natural ingredients to provide 40g of dual-source carbs and 5g of plant protein - ideal for longer rides. The chews are there for a pure energy boost; 44g of natural energy from real fruit and the purest electrolytes. Finally, the gels which are designed to provide both energy (22g of carbs) and electrolytes (110mg) - again with all natural ingredients. All these options taste great and are light on the stomach.

On the hydration front there are options to choose from too:

• Maurten: Drink 320 / 320 CAF, the world's most carbohydrate-rich sports drink, based on the same hydrogel technology as Maurten's Gels. 80g of carbs per serving (500 ml). Our boxes come with and without 100mg caffeine options, utilizing the hydrogel technology to hide the bitterness of the caffeine.

• Precision Fuel & Hydration: PH1000 Electrolyte tablets. These are a reasonably strong electrolyte drink designed to help you stay hydrated when you're sweating. Hypotonic formula enhances the absorption of water during exercise. Perfect for warm summer rides.

• STYRKR: Dual Carb Drink MIX90 - Quick release, fast absorbing and gentle on the stomach - perfect to rehydrate and refuel on the bike.

• Veloforte - we've opted to include the electrolyte based drinks with a mild carb level (22g) for something lighter on the stomach and very hydrating. We also include Veloforte's Recovery Protein Shakes to help you recover from hard rides and strength training sessions.
