Oxford Heated Hot Grips Pro - Sports

Ordered them fast delivery easy to fit wet out for a ride to try them in February cold day south west Scotland and I have to say they are rosty toty

These are an amazing bit of kit! Turns out most the poor reviews they got were fitment issues from people that didn't do any research or have a clue what they were doing.

Great heat and a tidy setup without the controls adding clutter up round the bars and dials.

Bought these then watched fitting videos, Though I'd made a mistake because the videos show people sanding down the handle bars and the throttle tubes to fit the grips. Load of rubbish, Fitted to a Kawasaki 1000 sx and no need what so ever to file , cut or sand down the bars.
These fitted over the bar and throttle tube with the right amount of tension with the supplied glue.
Quality is amazing hold button for three seconds to turn in so no accidental switch on.
No ugly control unit and very clever constant heat. Love them

I've never used heated grips before and having read a few reviews about them not being the hottest I wasn't quite sure what to expect. However, these are exactly what I was hoping for - fitted to my Interceptor 650 they look pretty much OEM with no ugly controller box cluttering up the cockpit. Really nice grips in their own right - nice and grippy - and the 3 settings work perfectly for me. I really like the thermistor control, so once you've set the desired temperature using the discreet button, you don't need to bother with adjusting as the day warms up, or if you're switching from slow country lanes to fast A roads - the grips self-adjust to keep the temperature constant. I didn't want "hands on radiator" hotness - just enough to keep my hands getting painfully cold in winter and there's more than enough heat for that - I usually leave mine on the mid setting. Fitting couldn't be easier and the auto turn-off means there's no risk of draining your battery if you forget to turn them off after a ride. My own experience has only been positive to date and wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

Once you get them on they are great. Nice n warm hands.
A bit fiddly getting them on but worth it. Definitely sand the throttle tube
I didn't use the super glue supplied as I've had past issues. I used Araldite it gives you time to set them right.
As I've said once on they are great and the little stealth button control is perfect

The first set supplied the wire came out the twistgrip before they were fitted. These were replaced very quickly by SBS.
The second set were very difficult to fit to the clutch side which required the bore of the grip to be polished out. Surely they could be made so the fit easily.
The grips were eventually fitted and wired direct to the battery as per the instructions.
They work ok and do shutdown the electrical supply in a very short time after switching off the ignition so no fear of flattening the battery.
However they do not get as hot as my old type with the seperate control box.
Also I have factory grips on Suzuki GT1000 and these also get hotter.
Therefore at the price of these items I am disappointed with these grips.
As they are now glued to the bars I cannot remove them without damaging them and send them back.
I believe Oxford need to review this product and possibly change the heating element and look at a more secure method of ensuring the wires do not detach themselves from either grip.

I've had Oxford heated grips on all my bikes, so it wasn't even a question as to what brand I'll fit onto my new 2023 300cc Vespa scooter.

The build quality of these is excellent, including the connectors and dimensions, and not having a separate controller makes these much easier to fit too.

Unfortunately, the only issue (and it's quite a big issue really), is that these don't get as hot as any of the other Oxford heated grips I've owned/fitted.

They are fitted directly to the battery, and function absolutely fine, but they don't get "hot"........'tepid' perhaps, but never 'hot'.

Honestly not sure they are worth the extra money. I could've still found a place for the controller on the scooter if I had to, but it's too late now...they are fixed in place with Oxford's grip-glue that will stay put even during a nuclear meltdown.

The quality of this item is in no way representative of SBS, who are nothing short of THE BEST in the business.

Upon fitting the item the twist grip wires came out of the grip. It appears that the wires are not secure with clamping and I think that long term I am doubtful how robust the grips will be.
Sportsbike shop had no problem quickly exchanges them for me.
The second set fitted but I these pro items do not seem anything like as secure as the old type with the seperate control. I would be interested to learn if Oxford have tested these grips against possible snagging in use.
If this second set fail due to poor poor construction them I will ask that Oxford look into this.

These grips don't get anywhere near hot enough. After 10 miles, 37 degrees near switch and only 26 near bar end, despite connected to battery directly. I've had 2 other Oxford grips before and both were hotter. These are simply not good.

Cant ever fault oxford stuff. Pro grips performed as they should, more than hot enough for me and I like the new 1 button control much slicker.

After few years of using Yamaha heated grips ( 2 pairs stopped working) I finally decided to swap for Oxford one and I have to say I'm really pleased with quality of these grips . I installed it few weeks ago and grips feel soft , comfortable and very grippy . 3 setting of heating looks promising so should be enough for autumn rides . Super happy with purchase, also great service from SBS as usual. Highly recommended.

They look brilliant as I've put them on an xsr900 and the bulky controller would make the bars look messy.
Extremely tight fit on a Yamaha throttle tube at least in my case required a bit of sanding and force to install.
The 3 settings are simple but it feels as thought they aren't as hot as a previous set of hot grips I had but I may be wrong.
They have worked well so far at 4 or so degrees but I've only tried with thin gloves so far I will see if they are powerful enough to heat through thick gloves soon.
