Building a legendary endurance performance requires a foundation of solid, functional fuel. While energy drinks and gels provide the immediate top-up, bars offer the essential satiety and sustained energy release needed to keep your engine running smoothly for when you’re cycling for hours.
At OTE Sports, we’ve designed our range to be the antidote to dry, hard-to-swallow energy snacks. We understand that mid-ride fueling must be practical, which is why our bars are engineered to be easy to chew and digest, even when your heart rate is redlining.
Our professional-grade collection of bars is built for every stage of your ride. The Duo Bar – staple in the professional peloton – features a light rice-crisp texture and comes pre-fractioned into two 20g halves, making carbohydrate tracking effortless.
For those long, steady-state training miles, our oat-based Anytime Bars utilise complex carbohydrates and real fruit to provide a reliable energy source that is remarkably light on the stomach. Naturally flavoured, OTE bars ensure you can manage your glycogen replenishment with the same confidence as the world-class athletes we fuel.
Our bars are best consumed during the first half of a long ride or sportive. Because solid foods require more blood flow for digestion than gels do, eating them early (when your intensity is manageable) provides a steady stream of energy and keeps hunger at bay.
As the intensity increases toward the end of a ride or during a final climb, you can then transition to energy gels for faster absorption.
Our Duo Bars contain 40g of carbohydrates per pack (conveniently split into two 20g bite-sized portions), while our Anytime Bars provide approximately 35 to 40g, depending on the flavour. This high carbohydrate density makes them an efficient tool to help you reach the professional goal of 60 to 90g of carbs per hour for optimal performance.
Yes. Many standard cereal bars are too high in fat and fibre, which slows energy delivery and causes GI distress during exercise. OTE bars are specifically formulated by sports nutritionists to be low-fat and high-carb, ensuring they are "stomach-friendly" and provide a quick energy return without the bloat.
Absolutely. Several flavours in our Anytime Bar range are 100% vegan-friendly, using plant-based ingredients like rolled oats and real fruit to deliver the same high-performance energy as our standard range. They are the perfect natural choice for a plant-based performance diet.
