Why CBR80

CBR 80 was created from 32 years of training in Canberra. Long runs through the Arboretum. Early mornings on the trails. Big days riding the Cotter, Uriarra loop, out toward Tharwa, along the Monaro Highway, and through the roads and hills that have shaped countless hours of training.

Over the years, one thing became obvious: on long training days, you still need fuel when fatigue starts to take over, but after hours of gels, sweet drinks and food, sometimes the last thing you want is more sweetness. CBR 80 was built for that point in the day. It was designed around a higher-carbohydrate approach, using a 1:0.8 carbohydrate blend to help athletes take on more fuel across long sessions without relying on an overly sweet drink.

The Science

CBR80 combines maltodextrin and fructose in a 1:0.8 ratio, providing 82 g of carbohydrate in each 85 g serve.

Maltodextrin is broken down into glucose, while fructose uses a different transport pathway in the intestine. CBR80 combines two carbohydrate sources in a 1:0.8 ratio. Research shows multiple carbohydrate sources can be absorbed at higher rates during prolonged exercise than a single source.

That matters when longer sessions demand more fuel. Carbohydrate consumed during exercise helps supply working muscles with energy and supports endurance performance.

Your gut needs practice, too. Build your fuelling intake gradually during training so your race-day plan is familiar.

Directions for use

Measure 1 serve—85 g of powder.

Add water to make a total prepared volume of 700 mL.

Shake until fully dissolved, then allow 10 minutes to settle.

Additional water may be added if preferred.

Consume 1 serve before or during sustained strenuous exercise.

Recommended maximum daily consumption: 2 serves—170 g of powder.

Consume with appropriate fluid intake. If used during exercise, follow the directions to help avoid gastrointestinal upset.

Not a sole source of nutrition. Use alongside a nutritious diet and an appropriate physical training or exercise program.

Not suitable for children under 15 years of age or pregnant women. Should only be used under medical or dietetic supervision.

Your Fueling and Stacking Guide

Start with your fuel. Build around your session.

Each prepared serve delivers 82 g carbohydrate and 116 mg sodium. Plan how much you consume around your session length, intensity and what your gut is accustomed to.

As a general guide, endurance exercise lasting around 1–2.5 hours commonly calls for 30–60 g carbohydrate per hour. For longer endurance sessions, intakes of up to 90 g per hour may be appropriate with practice and an individual plan.

A full serve of CBR80 doesn’t have to be finished within an hour. Count carbohydrates from all drinks, gels and food, and stay within the recommended maximum of two CBR80 serves per day.

CBR80 + S200 — Fuel with adjustable sodium

CBR80 provides the carbohydrate base. S200 adds 200 mg sodium per capsule when additional sodium suits your hydration plan. Account for the 116 mg already supplied by each CBR80 serve, and follow S200’s directions.

CBR80 + DHR — Fuel alongside broader electrolyte support

Use CBR80 for your carbohydrate needs and DHR alongside it for electrolytes, including sodium, potassium and magnesium. Prepare each product according to its own directions and count the sodium across both.

CBR80 + J60 — Change up the flavour

Alternate CBR80’s unflavoured profile with J60’s sour watermelon across a longer session. Both contribute carbohydrates and sodium, so count them together as part of your overall fuelling plan.

CBR80 + Fuel60 — Another option in your fuel plan

Once Fuel60 arrives, it can provide another carbohydrate option to alternate with CBR80. Choose the product and flavour that suit each part of your session, counting carbohydrates from both.

You don’t need every product for every session. Build the combination around the work ahead.
