The must have item for the end of motorcycle season!

The holiday season will quickly be behind us and motorcycle enthusiasts already know it. That’s why they are taking full advantage of these last beautiful days. While the sun is shining and warming the air during the day, we must not forget that mornings and evenings are cooler. Is the need to bring along a second pair of warmer gloves annoying you, or would you rather have more comfort for your hands? Oxford Heaterz heated grips are just what you need!

Product Presentation

The Oxford heated grips are especially designed to adapt to your motorcycle. Whether it’s a sportier design with a diamond pattern, ultra adherent and supple to give you maximum sense of touch, or a chrome look for your custom motorbike, The Oxford Heaterz offers several adapted systems. Handgrips are available for touring, the quad, adventure, the scooter, etc.

In addition, the heated grips have 5 intensity settings. Thus, it helps you keep your hands comfortable while riding in all kinds of weather. Even if you ride with thicker lined gloves, the raised silicon touch buttons can easily raise/lower the intensity.

Another interesting characteristic is the battery saving mode which allows you to automatically close the heating of the handgrips even if you forget. So, no more surprises upon starting if you omitted to close the system after the last ride.

Installation

You would think that such a system would require a professional to install. Well no!  In the box, there is a small installation guide to walk the user through the various steps of the installation process. Plug into the vehicle’s battery and the rest of the system can be installed directly on the handlebars. Depending on the motorcycle model you own, anticipate between 30 minutes (bare model) and 2 hours (refitted model) for the complete installation of the Oxford Heaterz.

 

Testing the Oxford Heaterz System

After many seasons of motorcycling when you are still trying to extend the rides to the maximum, the first and last moments of the season are often less enjoyable, because the cold interferes with the pleasure of driving  your motorcycle, With the Hearterz heated grips, I really have increased my pleasure driving in cold weather. Before this, I can remember certain rides where I was returning at night with the chills throughout my body because my hands were ice cold. Now, what a pleasure it is to have warm hands!

Moral of this test: With the days’ beginnings and endings getting cooler and cooler, I really appreciate my Heaterz heated grips!
