Maurten set the “bar” with their SOLID 225, now they are raising it. Maurten is out with a redefined SOLID: the SOLID 160. Just when we thought it couldn’t get better.
SOLID reinvented bars by removing everything but the essentials. The result is a performance-focused oat-and-rice-based chewable. It may look like a bar, feel like a bar, a

Delicious and pairs well
Previously, I would take a Honey Stinger waffle on my runs, but I had choosen an untested flavor (Peanut Butter & Chocolate) and it did not travel well or pair well with my Mango flavored Mortal Hydration or the fruit flavors of my Salt Stick gummies. Then I found these puppies and have been very happy as the texture is just right (think: warm rice krispies treats ... well, the warm part might be because of my being a dessert runner) but despite the heat and the jostling around, the bar remained solid and delicious. The flavor is sweet but does not have a distinct flavor, which I welcomed because I didn't want to have a repeat of mismatch flavors. Will buy again.

Love these bars
I recently added these bars to my fueling since they will be on the half Ironman North Carolina course. I love them, they are easy to open and eat on the bike, zero stomach issues and they taste so good I like eating them as a snack.

Easy digestion, smooth energy, great flavor
I'm a fan of oat flavor, that's the flavor you're going to get with these. Very reminiscent of a rice crispy treat in oats form. No heartburn, easily digestible, and IMO great tasting. The energy was very smooth, not fast, hard, and then drops off like I have found a lot of gels do. The only downfall is they are messy (keep in the packaging while eating) and chewy. It didn't bother me at all because the pros FAR outweighed the cons. I use these on my longer runs. I eat half 60 minutes in and the other half 90 minutes in (30 after the first half). And they are perfect. I'm a huge fan of Maurten gels and will continue to use both. The caffeinated gels are my 'go-to' right before and towards the end of a race. Maurten products are expensive ... however, they are well worth it in my opinion. High quality. As for THE FEED, great service, perfect delivery, easy customer friendly ordering. I will continue to purchase my fuels and other items from them from now on!
