Product Information

Full details

The Oxford HotGrips Essential Commuter Heated Grips are an ideal solution for daily commuters riding motorcycles with smaller batteries or limited electrical capacity. These grips provide essential warmth during cold-weather rides by drawing less than 3.2A, ensuring your bike's charging system remains stable. While they offer excellent durability and a simple two-setting control, riders should note that they lack the sophisticated multi-level temperature adjustments found in premium, more expensive models.

FAQs

Will these fit my motorcycle?

These grips are designed for standard 22mm (7/8 inch) diameter handlebars.

Can I trim the grips to fit my bars?

Yes, the grips are designed to be trimmed to length if they are too long for your specific handlebars.

Do I need to worry about my battery going flat?

These grips draw less than 3.2A, which is very low. However, it is highly recommended to wire them to a switched ignition source so they turn off automatically when the bike is off.

Are the switches waterproof?

Yes, the switch is rainproof and designed for use in all-weather riding conditions.

What is included in the box?

The kit includes two HotGrips, a heat controller, mounting brackets, a wiring loom, cable ties, grip glue, and an instruction manual.

Can I use these on a quad bike?

Yes, provided the handlebars are 22mm in diameter and the electrical system can support the 3.2A draw.

Troubleshooting

Grips are not heating up

Check all electrical connections, verify the fuse in the wiring loom is intact, and ensure the battery has sufficient charge.

Grip feels loose on the handlebar

Ensure the handlebar was thoroughly cleaned of old rubber and oil before applying the supplied glue; re-apply a fresh layer of grip adhesive.

Switch is difficult to operate

Ensure the mounting bracket is not overtightened and check for any debris trapped in the switch mechanism.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation requires basic mechanical knowledge and tools. First, ensure your handlebars have a 22mm diameter. Before applying the included glue, slide the grips onto the bars to check the fit; if the grip is too long, you can carefully trim the rubber end to size.

  1. Remove old grips and clean the handlebars of any residue.
  2. Apply the provided grip glue to the bars and slide the HotGrips into position.
  3. Mount the 2-way switch in an accessible location using the provided bracket.
  4. Route the wiring loom carefully, avoiding moving parts like the throttle cable or steering stops.
  5. Connect the wiring to your battery, ensuring the positive lead is connected to a switched ignition source to prevent accidental battery drain when the bike is parked.

For care, occasionally wipe the grips down with a damp cloth to remove road grime and debris to maintain optimal grip texture.
