My mates got the Oxford ones and her who digs ribs wants a set on her Bros. Anyone tried the R&G ones as they are half the price and she will use them twice a year! Rolling Eyes
any help gratefully, you know what I mean! ta

Got these, had them fitted about 2 months and they are still working. Pretty warm, I've fitted them on top of the grips with the provided heat shrink on top.

Not bad for £7.

I have these ones. There pretty decent, but dont expect them to keep anything but the palm of your hand warm.
Its also got a pointless adjustable setting. Which is pretty pointless if you ask me.

Had the R&G ones on the last two bikes and used them allyear round about 3 years. They get very warm (rarely need them above 3/5 ).

A couple of mates also have them fitted and like them. They are also thinner than some of the other brands and not much thicker than standard grips.

I've got roxter ones on my city fly, very similar if to the oxford ones if not just rebranded.

Work fine, easy to fit, get nice and warm, rape my little 125's battery.

As such I don't use them but prob transfer them to bigger bike when i get one

I have the Oxford Hot Grips. They heat up very quickly and I very rarely use them above setting 2 or 3. They heat up to around 50 degrees which I suppose would be brilliant for a really cold, snowy, icey day.

One problem is that the plastic connects are a bit crap. Had some problems with the wires having a dodgy connection but a very simple problem to fix.

Over all, very good! Imagine they work wonders with handguards or muffs. Thumbs Up

I have R&G ones and can't knock them - been on since october with no bother. Reasonably warm, not quite as good as the cheap ebay undergrip ones I had before, but they broke after about 3 days, so theres that.
