Oxford HotGrips Pro 2.0 - Adventure

The elimination of the control module and incorporating of the button into the grip is a big improvement in terms of function and looks, very happy with them. Also, the new connectors for the wiring are much better quality and appear to have a decent IP (waterproof) rating whip is a big step up on my old pair. Not sure about the £200 price tag but once you’ve had them you can’t live without…

Amazing product, easy to fit and fantastic service from sportsbikeshop

Works perfectly, keeps your hands at a comfortable temperature no matter what the weather. Makes a huge difference on longer drives to arrive without your hands frozen and stiff.

Couple with hand guards to break the wind and these will keep you comfortable all year round.

The problem I had was fitting the throttle side grip. Even though the throttle tube on my bike is smooth, it still required endless sanding down in order to get the grip to fit. In the end I had to remove the throttle tube when the grip got stuck halfway and wouldn’t budge. Fearing I’d probably lost both a throttle tube and the grips I took to bludgeoning it on with a plastic dead blow mallet. Surprisingly, both tube and grip survived, but it was a miracle.

The rest of the fitting was a breeze and everything feels solid and well made.

My only complaint is that it’s not very easy to use the tiny button to switch the grips on. However they are very warm on the high heat setting, so they pass that test and I use them on the middle setting mostly.

The built in thermistor is great. It stops the grips overheating when riding more slowly, or stopped.

Overall a good product, but really had to lose a star because of the difficulty fitting the throttle side. If you don’t have that issue, then well recommended and has converted me to an appreciation of heated grips. I tried heated gloves but they were an absolute faff and really did spoil control feel.
