The bars came today and here is my first review:
Detour Biker - Chocolate Peanut Butter flavor.
For Those Who Love to Ride

Detour Biker bars contain whey protein and Rhodiola, which helps enhance muscle energy and stamina during exercise. Plus it’s been seen to help speed cardiovascular and muscle recovery-time after you ride.*

I have always been a big fan of chocolate peanut butter bars.
The Detour Biker bars all come in pretty big wrappers that are pumped full of air. The bars themselves are around the same size as other bars on the market.
The chocolate peanut butter bar is like a dense granola bar with chocolate coating on the bottom and peanut butter chips on top.
The consistency is not bad. It's denser than a normal cereal bar, but it's not too dense. It's a bit crunchy with actual chunks of peanuts inside.
The taste is pretty decent. It doesn't have any weird aftertastes and it doesn't look like they used any artificial sweeteners.
It feels pretty filling for the number of calories.
Nutrition info:
210 calories, 7g fat (3 saturated), 25g carbs (4g fiber, 8g sugar), 12g protein.
It uses whey protein, not soy protein like a lot of other bars.
Overall I would give this bar a thumbs up and I would eat it again.
More to come...
