Pros:
I purchased the new Lemonade flavor and it tastes fantastic! I put in the fridge the night before my ride and I look forward to drinking it the next day.
Cons:
Needs to be in a Ready To Drink.
Time Used:
3 Months
Comments:
This product flat out works. Gatorade has always seemed to make me thirstier and only gives me a short burst of energy. Accelerade does what it claims... improves endurance and hydration. I always keep one bottle for after my ride as a recovery drink for which it works great.

I've used Accelerade, both Lemon-Lime and Orange, for nearly 3 months and have never been let down. It delivers when I need it most and that's exactly why I'll keep buying it.

This product WILL make you faster, there's even been a book of evidence written about it "The Performance Zone". I've used it for a while now and I've seen amazing results. If you can tolerate the taste (took me a few days to get used to it) then I would absolutely recommend it

Pros:
OK stuff does not give me a lift that I hoped. Used for recovery it is decent.
Cons:
Man this stuff comes up on me when I am riding. Especially when training on hillclimbs. Milky consistancy makes me burp too much.
Time Used:
3 Months
Comments:
I gave this stuff a chance but it does not give me a noticable burst or anything.

At first I was not a fan. The orange flavor and the texture were strange. I kept with it and now I won't ride without it. Its great for racing, better than Gu and Clif shots, instant results.

Pros:
Good kick and good recovery
Cons:
It tastes like and feels like drinking key lime pie. It is so chalky and milky that it is very difficult to swallow.
Time Used:
Less Than A Month
Comments:
This stuff would rock if I could tolerate the taste. (tried lemon lime). I found if I mixed it a partial strength and then added lemonaide I could handle it, but then what's the point.
