“comparing it to the previous choc duo bar, overall i prefer the original version. there seemed to be less choc chips and the choc strip on the opposite side seemed thinner. The wrapper was much harder to tear open on the bike i hope thats only the R&D wrapper!”
“Whilst the flavour profile and heat tolerance in the back pocket have been adapted/improved the ability to eat this bar under effort is not as viable to the original bar as drier in consistency and this presents challenges. I've tried a few times at various points to check hydration was not the issue and these bars would have to be either off the bike snacks or at very low efforts limiting the essential pocket choices on longer rides where these become the go to partner.
Hoping OTE can address this between the V1 and R&D bar final production as love the real bar option even when under effort as like many my gut cannot survive on gels alone, these are more get out of jail or race based fuel for shorter high impact events.”
“I use these for both snacking as well as on rides. They taste great, are easy to eat on the go and they don't melt in the pocket of my racing jersey. Well worth trying.”
