'Sugary' Taste?

From
experience, 3 out of the 5 drinks seem overly sweet. They all do their job of reducing cramps, fatigue and other things, pretty close to the same.
Some cycling drink makers combine some of their drink functions together.
You can get an excercise and recovery drink in the same container.
The excercise drink that does both has proteins and other ingredients in them that just electrolyte drinks do not.
How Long are Your Rides?
Depending on how long your ride is, can dictate what other ingredients you should consume.When you ride for more than 1.5 - 2 hours you should be consuming proteins along with your electrolytes.
Should you choose to drink your proteins, remember that these drinks usually have a bit of a "gritty" texture to them.
They are very palatable to drink as long as you do not mind the "grit".
How Strong of a...
Flavor do you like to drink?
There is one drink in particular which has a subtle flavor for those who do not want a strong flavor to their drinks.
These drinks are made by Hammer Nutrition!
You get a slight flavor with their drinks, enough to feel like you are drinking something more than water.
For a stronger flavor without an overly powerful sweet taste, Cytomax is a great choice!
Consider using a couple of different kinds to see which one you like the best.
Enjoy your excercise cycling sports drink!
