Is Gatorade good for cycling?

Yes, Gatorade can be beneficial for cycling, as it offers hydration, carbohydrates, and electrolytes (such as sodium and potassium), all of which are depleted during sports endurance performance [1]. 

Those who are salty sweaters or have trouble taking in solid calories when cycling may have success with liquid calories and electrolytes, like those found in Gatorade. Excessive salty sweating or overconsuming water only can lead to a serious condition called hyponatremia, so hydrating with Gatorade is one way to reduce this risk [2].
