Heated Grips

Gonna buy himself a pair of heated grips for his fireblade or VTR (whichever he decides to put them on).

Has anybody here any knowledge of them? I’m on motorcycleshop.ie and they have Oxford premium and advanced but I can’t tell what the difference is apart from price.

Premium https://www.motorcycleshop.ie/oxford-hotgrips-premium-sports-heated-grips-of692-76110-p.asp

Any help on which set to buy would be appreciated.

5 heat settings

There’s more settings on advanced? The website above must have made an error when entering details.

Which would u pick?

Ive had the touring ones with 5 settings and they did the job. Got fairly hot and made it more comfortable riding in cold. Id go with them. The cost difference and "extra features" dont offer enough to spend more.

Thanks GBX

Deffo get the sports set, the actual pattern on the grip is brilliant and will suit the bike you mentioned. I have had two sets on 2 different bikes and they are brilliant.

I have the premium, thread pattern is fine zero problems. And the extra money for weather proof connections ??? waste of money marketing spoof. you wont use 9 settings either.

We use the Premium grips on our work bikes, they're ideal.

Nine settings are way over kill, mostly you'll use 2 or 3.

I got the premium ones with 5 settings, they are great, as said above, 9 settings isn't needed

Make sure you check the grip lengths before you buy, as they vary.
