From Start to Finish: The GPR50 Keeps Riders Focused, Fast, and Hydrated

In the unforgiving deserts of Baja, where riders recently battled through 250 miles of rough terrain, heat, and fatigue, hydration isn’t just importantit’s critical. That’s exactly where the FluidLogic GPR50 shines. The GPR50 system gives riders a strategic advantage by combining a personalized hydration protocol with hands-free, on-demand hydration—without ever needing to take their focus off the trail. 

During the first of four grueling races this season, elite riders like those from SLR Honda relied on the GPR50 to stay sharp and strong from start to finish. The team, led by Mark Samuels and featuring riders Ryan Surratt, Tyler Lynn, and Carter Klein, used the system throughout the 250-mile race to maintain peak hydration and performance in the punishing Baja conditions. 

“In endurance racing, hydration isn’t just important—it’s essential,” said Mark Samuels. “With FluidLogic’s on-demand hydration system, I can stay focused on the race without having to fumble for a hose. The handlebar-mounted switch keeps my hands where they need to be—on the bars—making hydration faster, easier, and most importantly, safer.” 

What is the GPR50? 

The GPR50 is the world’s first intelligent hydration pack, combining environmental data and a personalized hydration algorithm via the FluidLogic app to optimize performance and recovery. With in-helmet water delivery, a wireless hydration remote, and vibratory reminders, it keeps riders hydrated effortlessly—without ever breaking focus or flow. It’s more than a hydration pack—it’s a game-changing system built for high-performance rides. 

“The GPR50 pack worked flawlessly for me racing down in Baja,” said Tyler Lynn. “It was much easier to keep myself hydrated and focused on the race, rather than trying to suck water out of a pack. Definitely a huge energy saver—and the best hydration system I’ve used.” 

Trusted by the Best 

While SLR Honda ran the GPR50 during the race, other top racers are training with the system as well—including Ciaran Naran of Hero Racing Offroad, who praised the system’s intuitive design and performance benefits. 

“With just the push of a button on my handlebars, I can effortlessly hydrate without breaking my focus or speed,” said Ciaran. “That gives me a crucial edge over my competition.” 

Rider Ryan Surratt echoed the sentiment: 

“Super easy to just hit a button and get water anywhere and anytime without having to take your hands off the bar.” 

And Carter Klein emphasized the system’s advantage in tricky terrain: 

“Great product—never have to take your hands off the bars, which is great for riding in technical sections.” 

Whether you’re casually out for a long ride or you’re racing to the limit in a competitive event, even small inefficiencies can cost you. The GPR50 eliminates one of the most overlooked performance killers: dehydration.
