Cheap as chips, might be worth a punt for the XCountry

Yep, but occasionally you can get the most pleasant of surprises.. hence posting here on the offchance someone has been wowed by their virtues

Might not hold me breath though

At that money I guess it's a gamble worth taking?
I have to say they don't look particularly hardy!

I'm just about to order a couple of pairs of the new Datatool heated grips that they've developed, very clever switch design! They're not cheap though ......

Oxford Products have a new line, and although I have 4 sets fitted to trail bikes here, I have used the Hotgrips Sports, but now they do a Hotgrips Adventure, with improve grip design and a clever controller. I'll be moving on to them when mine fail or get damaged.

They are the only way I can keep trail riding through the winters now. I have been very impressed with the 'Sports' kits, so looking forward to fitting one of the new kits.

The Oxfords I put on my Diversion 900 lasted at least 4 years and 40K miles. The dial type controller fell apart so that was reboxed but otherwise great. They are also a bit fatter than standard BMW grips which I find uncomfortably skinny.
