OTE Sports OTE Sports Duo Bar
The Duo Bar from UK endurance brand OTE Sports is a dual-layer energy bar — a soft chewy top over a crisp base, pre-cut into two pieces — built on the pro-cycling 'rice cake' idea of easily digestible race food. It pairs carbohydrate with a little protein and low fat. Informed Sport certified, so every batch is screened against the banned-substances list for tested athletes.

Why this certification matters
- Informed Sport
- Informed Sport certification is especially relevant for athletes in tested sports because products are batch-tested for substances prohibited in sport.
Frequently asked questions
- What does 'Duo' refer to?
- The bar has two layers — a soft chewy top and a crisp base — and is pre-cut into two pieces, so you can take it in halves on the move.
- What is it modelled on?
- OTE built it around the pro-cycling 'rice cake' idea — an easily digestible, low-fat solid food for fuelling during long rides and runs, pairing carbohydrate with a little protein.
- How does it compare to a gel?
- A bar suits longer, steadier efforts where you want real food rather than a gel. OTE's gels are the faster, more concentrated carbohydrate option for higher-intensity moments.
- Is it certified for tested sport?
- Yes. It carries Informed Sport certification, so every batch is independently screened against the WADA banned-substances list.
