Has anyone got an opinion of these at all?

Looking to find out what the opinion is on the best flavour out of their range of energy bars. I normally use Clif bars but fancy a change.

Thanks,

    Yeah - I've had them and like them. Quite a lot to them, but for a bar, I thought they were not bad...

    I had one (mango tango I think) and loved it!

    I had one of them red bikes but I don't any more. Sad face.

    Had a sample Liquorice arrive with something from Shutt and my mate and I both ended up buying a box of the liquorice as it made a change from the normal sweet shite.

    Before anyone dismisses them have a look at the amount of carbs they offer, nothing comes as close, easy to digest and superb for energy.

    I find them very hard work, to be honest. Regardless of the energy content, you need to have something on the bike that you can look forward to eating - and I find these are more of a chore than an enjoyment.

    I've tried these and to be honest they didnt agree with my stomach!

    I love Mulebars - don't use any other bar.

    I often buy a mixed box, so I get all 7 flavours. Hunza nut & liquorice are my favourites, however.

    They also have great customer service - they sent me a big box for free last year when all I had done was email them to query something!

    nice one - now you will have all of bike radar emailing them with spurious questions, and high expectations!

    I dont see how they can be described as gross, as they are like a cake bar, but each to their own I guess :lol:

    I've had a few flavours and loved them all, although have yet to try the notorious liquorice... might email them with a query now and see what happens :twisted:

    I love them. The Tour of Britain Summer Pudding are good, Apple Strudel, Mango Tango, Pinacolada are all really nice. Hunza Nut a bit dry for my liking and whilst I am a liquorice fan, I don't like the liquorice flavour mule bar

    Thanks for the feedback.

    I have opted for a box of Apple Strudel flavoured bars.

    Cheers,

    Summer Pudding is great. Nice, simple and packed with energy

    Sounds like the Marmite of energy bars - love them or loathe them!

    I am also in the loathe them camp, of all the bars I've tried I found these to be the hardest to eat on the move and worst tasting.
