Hands and fingers are the most vulnerable parts of a motorcyclist in harsh conditions. However, they are precisely these that you need the most in order to safely arrive at your destination.
The Oxford Premium Hotgrips are the latest in a thirty-year quest to find the best solution for warm hands in the worst conditions. These grips focus specifically on ATVs and are therefore suitable for quads. Besides these ATV types, other models focus on a different type of riding preference: touring, sports, retro, adventure, cruiser.
In addition to being nice and warm, the ATV grips are equipped with an ergonomic surface consisting of different structures. Comfort, feel, grip and control are all there, which is important on an adventure quad or all-terrain vehicle. Wear resistance and good vibration absorbing qualities make these grips a very good choice, even without their built-in heating capability. Each grip is 130 mm long, with an open end to allow for installing handlebar weights or handguards. The length is easily trimmed, down to 121 mm, should you feel the need. The grips will fit all handlebar diameters up to 22 mm. Power consumption is less than 4 A per pair.
A weatherproof controller, to be mounted on your handlebars, allows for easy control and monitoring of the heat setting. You can see at a glance which of the five settings you are currently using. Should you forget to turn if off after your ride - while in a rush to get inside, where it's warm - the Hotgrips Premium will do it for you, thanks to the Battery Saving Mode. There's no need to install a power-saving relay either, as this handlebar heater only switches on when there's enough power and energy to do so. That normally means: when the engine is running.
Mounting and installing the Premium Hotgrips is easy. Just connect the cable to the battery and smoothly slide the grips onto the handlebars. Everything you need for this - including the metal bracket for the controller - is included as standard.
It goes without saying that you should read through the instruction booklet first, and that having heated grips doesn't mean you can ride without your protective gloves.
