Oxford Original HotGrips

The distraction and tension caused by discomfort make for a bad riding style and cold hands impair your reactions; both situations reduce the enjoyment of riding and jeopardise rider safety.  Don't put up with frozen fingers - get some Oxford HotGrips.

Oxford HotGrips have been keeping riders' hands toasty for over 25 years, using a combination of technology and common sense to become essential kit for the average rider.

The new Original HotGrips retain their conservative styling, but benefit from the superb new electronics package which has thus far only been available on Oxford Sports HotGrips.

This includes a smaller new control switch and mounting bracket, a new wiring loom and a remote "black box" which contains all the "brains" of the unit and can be fitted out of harm's way underneath the seat.

The "black box" contains the safety mechanisms which deal with voltage fluctuations, regulate the temperature and prevent killing the battery if the grips are left on by mistake.

Removing these "brains" from the switch control gear increases reliability and reduces the size of the switch by 50%.  Meanwhile the switch has larger, easier-to-use buttons and multiple heat settings from warm to piping hot.

There are also differently styled variants for Sportsbikes (Sports HotGrips - £69.99) and Cruisers (Cruiser HotGrips - £79.99)  Please contact Hideout for more information on either of these products.

All versions come with fitting instructions and everything needed to fit them.

Technical Stuff

Oxford HotGrips replace your standard items and become an integral part of the bike.  Fit the wiring directly onto your battery (everything you need is included in the box), slide the grips into place and mount the switch using the bracket provided.  Then enjoy four temperature settings, which allow you to take into account the outside temperature, your glvoe thickness and your own personal heat preference.

The latest HotGrips include new electronics which not only turn them off automatically if you forget to after a ride, but cleverly monitor the battery output to cope with small fluctuations in charge which naturally occur and maintain a steady temperature.

Oxford has pioneered manufacturing techniques which make these potentially fragile electrical products absolutely bullet-proof.  The one-piece construction means that there are no moving parts within, no components clinging together and nothing to go wrong.
