Keep the cold away with Daytona Heated Grips

Nothing is worse than riding in winter with cold fingers - Daytona have a solution Nothing is worse than riding in winter with cold fingers - Daytona have a solution Motohaus

Long recognised for their quality, performance and reliability, Daytona Heated Grips from Japan are an essential addition to any rider’s winter arsenal. Featuring a two-stage heating function, they’re designed to bring hands up to a comfortable temperature quickly and deliver continual warmth throughout the ride. Simple to fit and supplied with specific instructions covering Honda, Kawasaki , Suzuki & Yamaha wiring, Daytona heated grips cost considerably less than most OEM versions* at just £59.99 including VAT. 

Exposing the extremities to cold is not only uncomfortable, it can affect a rider’s ability to control the machine. Low temperatures can make muscles less responsive to signals from the nervous system, and can reduce dexterity. Hands and fingers are particularly at risk as there are no major muscles in the area to produce heat and the body also naturally favours the internal organs when cold, reducing blood flow to the extremities.

Daytona Heated Grips are designed to keep hands warm throughout the journey and have a special ‘boost’ function, so when switched on they warm up quickly. Once up to temperature, the second setting provides continual warmth, helping to maintain comfort and dexterity.  The grips also reduce the need for bulky, insulated gloves which can also impair control and feel – crucial when road conditions require careful operation of the throttle, clutch and front brake.

Produced using a dual layer rubber grip that has a ‘soft feel’ for comfort and control and designed to resist cracking and perishing, both the grips and electrical components are manufactured to withstand the effects of low temperatures and moisture.  Daytona grips require just 14W to operate in the 'on' position, much less than a standard 55W halogen headlight bulb, and even in the Start position consume just 57W.

Suitable for most machines with 7/8 inch handlebars, Daytona Heated Grips come complete with everything needed to install, and have open ends to accommodate bar ends where required.

Less than half the price of OEM grip sets from motorcycle manufacturers, they represent a serious value-for-money addition for the winter season at just £59.99 including VAT.

For further information, contact Motohaus Powersports on 01256 704909 or visit: motohaus.com.

* For example Honda Transalp heated grips £165.44, Suzuki Burgman 400 £260.99,  Yamaha Super Tenere £269.99 (manufacturer's listed retail price).
