"It is the best energy drink I have ever used."

"It is, without question, the most awesome sports drink I have ever tried. Because it tastes good. It’s mellow. Not particularly sweet."

Never having tried it before.  "I did a race day no-no and put it in my first bottle, and was happy with the results, I put it in all 3 bottles for the Sunday ride, I'll be ordering more."

When it starts to get hot I sometimes like to drink water and use more gel instead of some kind of drink mix but with the carborocket going down so smooth I think it will work all summer.

"I began taking Carborocket for the races earlier in the year when I was cramping every race. Since then I really had no problems. Then I ran out last week and didn't get a chance to get a hold of Brad for more. So I raced without it Saturday and look what happened! Supercramps! Well I just put in my order for more. I've learned my lesson."

"Oh, and I learned something else on my ride this morning: CarboRocket is the best energy drink ever. You see, I ran out of the magic mix last week so last night I fixed 2 bottles of my old preferred energy drink (I still have almost a full canister of the stuff since I stopped using it cold turkey once I tried CarboRocket). Well, let's just say I only managed to force down 1 bottle this morning (and it was a small bottle) as it was way, way, way too sweet and syrupy. Yeah, it was pretty much disgusting. So if you haven't tried CarboRocket yet and happen to be using another brand of energy drink do yourself a favor and give it a try. If you don't like it send me an email and I'll buy whatever's left from you. Yeah, it's really that good."

"I did not use a camel back but just used bottles that had calories in them--CarboRocket. That Brad Keyes might be on to something as Chris eloquently pointed out I did "Hydrate, Endure, and Win" just like is claimed."

"I was actually able to eat some solid food all day, but Carbo Rocket was the main staple for fuel. After every lap, I took down a water bottle full. And I have to say the Raspberry Lemonade is the BEST ever. Love it!"

"I liked the stuff before White Rim, but that day just cemented it.  I was looking forward to it at every stop.  I even waited with Botched at the Gooseberry toilet for about 15 minutes for the FJ to catch up so I could refill.  You have a winner.  It really is good stuff."

"I used on a five hour ride...I dig the stuff.  BK's CarboRocket and Spam musubi are great for long rides. I tolerate both well and both tasted great after a couple of hours in the saddle. "

"I mentally kept strong and positive the entire race which normally does not happen with cytomax.I climbed very well with no cramps. I believe that Carbo Rocket is the perfect fuel for the racer that paces themselves and does not go into dept early."

Dug Anderson

Dug Anderson"It's the only energy/sports drink I've ever used where after 8 hours in the saddle I wasn't begging for plain water. CarboRocket is good even when your ass is done."

Mark Albrecht

Mark Albrecht"BK--carbo rocket ruled the course at Lotoja on Saturday. No upset stomach and best legs I've had ever. I had one sip of gatorade from neutral support.--my stomach was immediately in knots, so I threw the bottle away and went with plain water until I could get more carbo rocket. Let's get that stuff into the shops here in Boise!"

Tony Parkinson

I wanted to give you some love for the excellent way that Carbo Rocket treated me down at the AMC Brian Head race. I started training with it before the race, but had never put in serious miles while relying upon it until that weekend. I’m hooked!

Eric Gaoiran

Eric Gaorian"I have used Carbo Rocket for the last three rides and have not had any of the side effects the other drinks have caused…I like the way it tastes."

Ricky Maddox

Ricky MaddoxI tried CarboRocket for a big ride in St. George, Utah earlier this week. I had never used it before. Against my better judgement (not good to try a new nutritional product on a long ride), I let Dug put it in my water. It fueled me for four solid hours in 100 degree weather! I had all the gas I needed and then some. I had all the energy I needed too. Usually products that provide that kind of boost are hard to get down. CarboRocket goes down smooth and keeps me up!

I have tried everything from drinking pickle juice to getting an IV drip the night before and none have worked as well for keeping the cramps away on the long rides as Carbo Rocket. Loving it!

Ben Shockey

I swear I will do a proper review of this stuff sometime. For now just know that I’ve never ridden close to a century without cramps. 31.5 hours without the hint of a cramp. Thank you Brad Keyes, this stuff is awesome.

Steve Peterson

Steve PetersonFirst, let me say I love Carborocket! Idid the Seattle LiveSTRONG Challenge 100-miler drinking only Carborocket, and did not have any indigestion. Generally, about hour 3 or 4 I get heartburn so bad I slow way down.

Dave Byers

Dave ByersI have to tell you, I have had two very solid races on Carbo Rocket now after being stuck on Hammer Nutrition for the last few years. I did the Cream Puff and the Laramie Enduro exclusively on Carbo Rocket in bottles and supplemented with gels for additional calories and had no stomach issues. I am a convert for good.? And I dig the Rasberry Lemonade!

Jim Githens

"I wanted to follow up with you and let you know how impressed I am with your product. And not only am I impressed my riding buddies are too. Keith Griffiths (Moab) may be in touch with you for an order, and so may the guys at my hometown shop, Ute City Cycles (Carbondale, CO). Everyone I have shared CR with loves the taste and we all appreciate the noticeable lack of uncomfortable, noisy, unsightly, etc. side effects that other ‘sports drinks’ bring on. I have had no cramping issues since using CR and feel like my hydration is much better. I used to have to ‘over drink’ to force hydration. Now I just drink as needed and have been feeling great, good legs and I can keep up with some of the younger guys for a change."

Rick Sunderlage

Rick SunderlageIt's pretty much the only energy drink I can stomach. I love it.

Aaron Smith

I can only eat and drink certain things during a race and I will only drink CarboRocket. Believe it or not a bite of sandwich soaked in CarboRocket goes down pretty easy.

Dan Nelson

Dan NelsonI've been rather sick the last several weeks and my stomach has not been able to handle a whole lot. Not exactly conducive to racing bicycles, where food seems to be a necessity as far as providing energy for riding. So you can imagine it was with some hesitation that I drove the hour to Soldier Hollow (or let Mark drive me there, anyway), paid an entrance fee, and signed up to race, having not eaten anything solid in a few days. However, to my rescue came CarboRocket, the ultimate drink created by Brad Keyes. I'd been on the CarboRocket diet for a few days preceding the race, as it seemed to be the only thing my tummy liked. I was a bit nervous on the start line as I wondered if my tummy would cooperate for at least the 2 hours I needed it to for the race. Well, needless to say, everything went just fine, thanks to the wonderful, sweet, fulfilling, (not to mention delicious) concoction known as CarboRocket. I made it the whole race with zero tummy aches, plenty of energy to hold a good pace the whole race, and a sweet taste in my mouth. Thanks, Brad! Best stuff ever invented.

Erika Powers

Hey Brad, I just wanted to say thanks for the Carbo Rocket this year! This is the first year that I’ve used a drink while racing and I loved the Carbo Rocket! I tried Gatorade a couple years ago and couldn’t drink/eat during the race and hadn’t tried anything since. Jen and I just completed and won the 12hours of Sundance, that was my first more endurance type race besides the 24hrs of Moab and the Carbo Rocket worked great all day.

Jeremy Peterson

Thanks again for the CarboRocket! I am definetly now an addict. Three flats put the kibosh on my goal of a sub-10 LOTOJA time but that is the only thing I can blame. The CR treated me great all day long and I avoided the GI issues I typically have on a ride like that. All in all I had a good day and I have CR to thank for a big part of that.

Bill Meadows

"..ordered a couple of canisters the other day and got them stupid fast! Used it this morning on my ride into work and wanted to let you know that as far as taste goes, its awesome nice an light as well." "..used the new kiwi lime stuff over the weekend...awesome! even better than the mango! Thanks again and I cant wait to see what else you come up with!"

Bill Freedman, Downeast Outfitters

With other drinks, and I have tried them all, going for the energy drink bottle is never a choice, just a necessity. CarboRocket is now, hands down, my bottle of choice."

Steven "Flahute" Sheffield

I tried CarboRocket today, and gotta say that the Kiwi-Lime is extremely yummy, my stomach does seem to handle the Rocket better than any other carbo drink I’ve ever tried. And as always, the CarboRocket kept me well-hydrated and energized ... I've gone for a few rides now just to have an excuse to drink it!

AJ "Blogtackular" Graham

All I can say about it is ‘wow’ -the energy boost it gives is fantastic, and it certainly helped me recover better between races, so much so that even after going out a lap to early on the 4k race and blowing up, I was recovered enough to make a good charge in the kilo, and come home fourth -my best result yet, and a great improvement from last week. Can I put it down to Carborocket alone? I don’t know, but it’s my new secret weapon -thanks Brad!

Justin Woulfe

As a heavier elite road cyclist (190lbs) I'm always looking for something to keep me fueled so I don't get dropped on climbs with the little guys and can crush them in the sprint to the line. I've tried quite a few products, including HammerHeed, CytoMax, etc, and after finishing my first container of Carbo Rocket, I must say it's the best I've tried so far. No cramping, no bonking. I knew it was working well when I peeled off my jersey and it could stand up on it's own from all the salt in my sweat. So, it works great, cheaper than Cytomax, and it's made in the USA...got to love it.

"CarboRocket is hands down the beverage of choice in our water bottles. No need to look any further than the podium to see who else feels the same."
