SUSTAINED ENERGY / FOR LONG EFFORTS.
 
XACT ENDURANCE bars provide real food energy with a delicious blend of fruit, dates, and crunchy almonds. With a balanced mix of carbs, fats, and protein, these bars provide steady energy with a lower glycemic index to prevent crashes.
 
With a soft, easy-to-eat texture and higher energy density
 than our fruit bars, they’re the perfect compact and portable fuel for endurance athletes on the move.
 
Favours: 
Mixed Berry
Apricot/Peach 
 
RECOMMENDED USE: 
WHEN TO USE
XACT Endurance Bars are ideal for both low-intensity, long-duration activities like hiking and endurance rides, as well as high-intensity races where you need sustained energy and a more satisfying fuel source than
quick-burning Fruit Bars or Minis.
 
EXAMPLE FUELING PLAN
Low-intensity endurance efforts: 1-2 Endurance Bars per hour, depending on duration.
High-intensity racing or training: Start with Endurance Bars, switch to Fruit Bars when intensity rises.
 
ENDURANCE BARS FAQ
 
WHAT MAKES XACT ENDURANCE BARS DIFFERENT FROM XACT FRUIT BARS?
Endurance Bars provide a slower, sustained energy release due to their balanced mix of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. Fruit Bars deliver fast-absorbing carbs for a quick energy boost.
 
HOW DO ENDURANCE BARS HELP WITH FUELING FOR LONG RIDES OR RUNS?
Endurance Bars have a lower glycemic index (GI) than many energy products, which means they provide a gradual energy release instead of quick spikes and crashes. They also contain healthy fats and proteins to help curb hunger and support long-duration efforts.
 
CAN I EAT ENDURANCE BARS DURING HIGH-INTENSITY EFFORTS?
Yes, but they work best for steady-state or moderate-intensity efforts. For high-intensity, longer sessions, pair them with XACT Fruit Bars to get a mix of slow and fast energy.
 
DO I NEED TO DRINK WATER WITH AN ENDURANCE BAR?
Yes! While they are soft and easy to eat, drinking water or an electrolyte drink helps with digestion and absorption.
 
HOW MANY ENDURANCE BARS SHOULD I EAT PER HOUR?
We wouldn’t recommend exclusively fueling with endurance bars for high carbohydrate demands /hr over 60g.
 
WHAT’S THE BEST WAY TO CARRY ENDURANCE BARS DURING TRAINING OR RACES?
They fit easily in a jersey pocket, running vest, or hydration pack.
 
HOW DO XACT ENDURANCE BARS PROVIDE SUSTAINED ENERGY?
A mix of fiber and healthy fats slows digestion and releases energy gradually. Soluble fiber (pectin & date fiber) slows glucose absorption, preventing spikes and crashes. Almonds and fats delay gastric emptying, leading to a prolonged energy supply.
 
ARE SLOW-BURNING CARBOHYDRATES ALWAYS BETTER FOR ENDURANCE?
STEADY, LONG-DURATION EFFORTS (ZONE 2, ULTRA-ENDURANCE)
Slow burning carbs help maintain stable energy levels
HIGH-INTENSITY EFFORTS (RACING, HARD SURGES)
Fast-burning carbs like glucose and latodextrin provide immediate fuel.
CONCLUSION
For optimal fueling, pair slow carbs (endurance Bars) with fast carbs (Fruit Bars) to match your needs.
