I usually wait for a discount to highlight gear, but after two brutal 10-hour days in Death Valley, Infinit’s Custom Mix proved it is worth every penny of full retail.

My big-ride nutrition strategy is constantly evolving, but when I headed to Death Valley for three 12-hour days on the bike (which turned into two 10-hours days because we were fast then there was a hurricane), I packed a bag of Infinit Nutrition. Sitting at my desk with the trip behind me, I can call it a success. That desert loop was the toughest ride I can remember from a fueling perspective, making Infinit worth putting back on your radar. If you struggle with nutrition on massive days, this could be the answer.
Infinit Nutrition Custom Mix
What makes Infinit unique is the custom blend. If you want to get highly specific, you can use a Nix Hydration sensor to measure your sweat composition and use that data to place your order. (I previously wrote a deep dive on pairing the Nix sensor with Infinit if you want the full process). You don’t have to get that technical though. Instead answering a few straight forward questions on the website is enough to build your mix.
For me, the biggest advantage is the sodium control. I prefer to drink my calories rather than eat them, and as a salty sweater, I need serious salt replacement. On long endurance rides, if the sodium ratio is off, I end up desperately thirsty no matter how much water I take in. Infinit allows me to dial in the exact amount of sodium, add a bit of protein, and keep everything easy on the stomach for all-day drinking.
