OXFORD Hotgrips EVO
Right! If you haven’t felt it yet then you’re tougher than us.
Winter isn’t coming … It has arrived early this and with a
bit of a serious bite to it. We don’t know about you, but we
don’t like getting cold and are always on the lookout for
something to keep the chills at bay… and as Old Brown
Sherry very definitely does not mix well with horsepower we
look to technology for assistance.
OXFORD HOT GRIPS are by no means new to the market,
but they do work exceptionally well and are easy to install
onto most motorcycles. Using the new THERMISTER
controlled heat setting technology they intelligently scan
and maintain temperature automatically. The innovative
intelligent heat setting memory function, stores the previous
heat setting and defaults to this at power-up, how lekker
is that, saving time when in regular use. Five heat settings
give increased control for the perfect operating temperature
with LED lights to indicate the temperature setting. The heat
controller uses a sealed-for-life welded case – making it
weatherproof, so you can put on rain suit and go ride in the
rain or you adventure and dirt bike riders can fall over in a
stream or a puddle and not worry about frying the electronics.
The battery saving mode protects against flat batteries.
If you forget to turn the switch off, it will do it for you. The
grips are 123mm but can be trimmed to 114mm if required
and has open ends so that bar end weights or hand guards
can be fitted. The kit includes all needed parts: set of grips;
heat controller; mounting bracket; wiring loom, cable ties
and grip glue. For more info or to check out more incredible
