Signature Line - CHO MAXX Bag 1200 g - Neutral

WINFORCE Signature Line – CHO MAXX, Beutel 1200 g – Neutral

CHO MAXX is a sports drink powder developed and manufactured in Switzerland for maximal efforts — here in the neutral, flavor-free variant. The formulation relies on a 1:0.8 glucose-to-fructose ratio, so you can supply up to 120 g carbohydrates per hour under high intensity without unnecessary sweetness. The blend of natural starch and isomaltulose provides energy with a pleasantly restrained taste; the osmotic concentration of 12% is designed for stomach tolerance. The pouch with 1200 g corresponds to 20 servings of 60 g each, making it ideal for regular endurance training and race use. Additionally, product development was fine-tuned with practical feedback from the Groupama–FDJ Cycling Team, which underlines its orientation toward competitive cycling. CHO MAXX is manufactured entirely in Switzerland.

• Neutral taste without flavoring; ingredients: starch blend (potato, corn), fructose, isomaltulose, table salt
• Maltodextrin-free and therefore less sweet in taste
• 1:0.8 glucose–fructose-concept for high carbohydrate uptake per hour
• Osmotic concentration 12% for good stomach tolerance during intense effort
• Nutritional values per 100 g: 392 kcal, 98 g carbohydrates (of which 52 g sugar), 0 g fat, 0 g protein, 0 g fiber, 0.5 g salt
• One pack contains 20 servings; Swiss Made

Technical details and functions

The carbohydrate matrix combines slower starch sources with isomaltulose, a carbohydrate source with a lower glycemic response than sucrose or glucose — this supports a more even energy release. Research shows that mixtures of glucose and fructose sources can increase the absorption and oxidation of carbohydrates during endurance efforts. Very high intake rates up to 120 g/h have also been successfully tested in studies using multiple-transport carbohydrates, which supports the high ambition of the CHO-MAXX concept. At the same time, CHO MAXX omits maltodextrin and thus remains sensorily less sweet — practical when long sessions and high fluid volumes are on the agenda. The 12% concentration targets good tolerance, while the neutral variant remains flexible in flavor. Composition and objective are therefore clearly aimed at ambitious endurance performance in cycling.

Applications and benefits

CHO MAXX plays to its strengths on long base rides, intense intervals as well as marathons, Alpine passes and races when constant energy matters. For efforts beyond two hours, glucose–fructose mixtures have proven effective; depending on training goals and tolerance, 90–120 g carbohydrates per hour is a sensible guideline. Thanks to the neutral taste, the drink can be easily combined with gels or salt tablets without overpowering flavors. Preparation is simple: stir 60 g powder per 500 ml water and shake well; this makes the pouch equal to around 20 bottles of 500 ml. Those aiming for carbohydrate amounts above 90 g/h should gradually build up their gastrointestinal tolerance in training. Isomaltulose also contributes to more stable blood sugar control before and during effort.

Technical details and functions

Application is guided by the load: for intensive sections or long climbs you can plan bottles so that 60–120 g carbohydrates per hour are supplied from drinks and bars/gels combined. Start conservatively and increase intake in 10–20 g steps per week until you reach your individual limit. Store the powder cool and dry, and ideally mix it with fresh drinking water just before the ride. The 1:0.8 concept addresses the transport pathways SGLT1 (glucose) and GLUT5 (fructose) in parallel, which supports carbohydrate utilization at high intake rates. For athletes who value subtler sweetness and high digestibility, the neutral variant is particularly suitable.
