WINFORCE Signature Line – CHO MAXX bag 1200 g – Lemon

With CHO MAXX, WINFORCE delivers a sports drink powder for long and hard rides, developed and manufactured in Switzerland. The formula is designed for maximum carbohydrate supply: up to 120 g per hour in the 1:0.8 glucose-to-fructose ratio, based on current scientific findings. Instead of maltodextrin, CHO MAXX uses a starch blend (potato, corn) and isomaltulose, which supports a pleasantly less sweet taste perception and a steady energy release. The Lemon flavor is subtly refreshing and designed to remain palatable even in the third hour in the saddle.

  • Up to 120 g carbohydrates per hour thanks to the 1:0.8 glucose–fructose mix, aimed at high uptake and oxidation rates.
  • Without maltodextrin; uses natural starch and isomaltulose for balanced blood sugar dynamics.
  • Preparation: 60 g powder in 500 ml water, shake well; 1200 g bag yields approx. 20 servings.
  • Osmotic concentration 12 % for high tolerability even under load.
  • Swiss Made and refined in cooperation with WorldTour pros (Groupama–FDJ).

Technical details and functions

The carbohydrate base consists of a starch blend (potato, corn) combined with fructose and isomaltulose; the latter has a low glycemic index and can moderate blood sugar spikes compared with maltodextrin or glucose. The formulation in the 1:0.8 glucose–fructose ratio aims to use different transporters in the intestine and thereby maximize carbohydrate availability under high load. In studies with highly trained endurance athletes, intake of around 120 g carbohydrates/h in the 1:0.8 setting showed high exogenous oxidation rates with good practical tolerability. The label states per 100 g: 98 g carbohydrates (of which 52 g sugar) and 0.5 g salt; the Lemon flavor additionally contains citric acid and flavoring.

Applications and benefits

CHO MAXX plays to its strengths on long endurance rides, on the climb or in race mode, when energy supply per hour is decisive. If you target 90–120 g carbohydrates per hour, you can practically manage the mix via one to two bottles per hour and thus explore your individual tolerance window. The less sweet flavor profile helps to keep drinking regularly even at high intensity and reliably ensures fluid and energy intake. That WorldTour pros like Groupama–FDJ rely on this product line underlines the performance-oriented approach of the formula for ambitious cyclists in Switzerland.

Usage and mixing recommendation

For a standard bottle (500 ml), stir 60 g powder into 250 ml water, shake vigorously and top up with water to 500 ml; this makes the 1200 g bag yield about 20 servings. If you aim for 120 g carbohydrates/h, in practice use two 500-ml bottles with 60 g each per hour and work your way up to your individual stomach tolerability during training. The declared osmotic concentration of 12 % is designed for high loads and supports continuous energy delivery. Store cool and dry; CHO MAXX is fully manufactured in Switzerland.
