Review on 🔥 Oxford OF690Z Premium Adventure Heated Handlebar Grips with Enhanced SEO by Nick Nigerson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great control knobs

I installed them on my DRZ400SM. Installation is easy with the right tools and basic mechanical skills. For those with DRZ I routed the main battery cable along the frame, then the throttle cable, then made all the connections behind the headlight and finally hid all the cables and connectors with the existing factory wiring. Installation looks factory! If you have DRZ I strongly recommend buying a new throttle tube. The factory handle and gas tube are molded together, making handle removal difficult and time-consuming. I found one here from Motion Pro for a few bucks. The grips themselves are decent, comfort is expected, about the same as the factory grips. When it comes to heat, they are excellent. All reviews are correct, the 100% setting is really hot and gets too hot to use after a few minutes on that setting. I have Thinsulate 100g winter gloves and it's 100% hot even through them. When temperatures are below freezing, I find 70% or 80% fine for thick gloves (I like the cozy feel). I use the 100% setting primarily as a warm up function and then lower it after I've let the bike warm up. The smart thermostat is the best feature of the product. This eliminates the need for relays etc and gives peace of mind to those of us who forget to turn buttons off (myself included).

Pros
