Not bad - less tingling now

I ride a 1997 BMW R1100RT with heated grips. I have carpal tunnel syndrome due to a lot of computer work and heavy lifting; I do wrist exercises and stretches to keep them under control, but anything longer than half an hour on the bike left me with numbness and tingling in my hands. These grip pads fit over existing grips (spray with hairspray or gel and alcohol for easy installation) and offer: a softer texture; Larger diameter to keep your hands in a more natural position (if you have small hands) Some vibration isolation. I turned on the grip warmers and nothing melted or ignited, and I still felt heat through the grip covers, although unsurprisingly the heat took longer to absorb and wasn't as intense as it was without the grip. covers. Most importantly, the feeling of numbness and tingling after long rides is noticeably reduced (but not 100% eliminated).

Pros
  • High marks for grip and durability from testers
Cons
  • Almost never
