Do you guys ride motorcycles?
Finally, after a blazingly hot summer, a pleasant fall, perfect for touring, has arrived. It's a great season to get out and about and to do some maintenance. But while it's easy to feel warm and comfortable during the autumn days, it's also true that the difference in temperature during the commute to and from work can make it numbingly cold. This season may be short-lived, but winter will soon be an ordeal for riders. The human body's most sensitive nerves are easily exposed to the cold outside air when riding a motorcycle, and many of us have experienced a loss of grip on the handlebars.
This is when the grip heater comes into play, as you know! For some strange reason, when it's just warm on your hands, the cold sensation fades a bit. And of course, it reduces stress and contributes to the safety of riding. It's a must-have item for me in winter.
In this edition of Webike Ranking Magazine, we bring you the top 10 grip heaters, perfect for the upcoming season!
2020 update! Grip heater ranking 10th to 4th
No.10 KIJIMA｜Grip Heater GH05-2 Wrap around
Coming in at No. 10 is the familiar KIJIMA GH05-2 wrap-around grip heater! This is a versatile wrap-around type that can be attached to any vehicle. The advantage of this type is that it can be removed at any time. During the season when you don't use your heated grips, you can use your favorite grips that you normally install.
There are three basic types of power supply systems for the grip heaters: power from a cigarette lighter socket, power from a USB, and power from an accessory power source. Depending on the power supply method and the voltage consumption of the grip heater, it may lead to insufficient voltage in your motorcycle, so if possible, know your motorcycle's battery capacity and choose the best one.
No.9 DAYTONA｜Hot Grip EASY 105mm
This one is much easier, and once you connect the grip and coupler, all you have to do is connect it to the cigar plug power! You can get enough warmth through your glove. The price is also affordable, making it a great choice for first-time adopters.
No.8 DAYTONA｜Hot Grip Easy USB
This is also a convenient USB type! You still want to be able to easily install it if it's the removable, wrap-around type. That said, the performance is fine, and it will keep you warm enough while driving warm before you leave.
No.7 HONDA｜Sports Grip Heater
Seventh place is our very own HONDA integrated grip heater! By integrating the throttle pipe and internal heater, the diameter of the grip section has been reduced to as small as possible. This allows you to have the same warmth in your hand as you would normally have with a normal grip. The natural styling of the grip is what you would expect from an all-in-one unit!
No.6 EFFEX｜Grip Heater with integrated switch
EFFEX is the creator of many best-selling motorcycle products. The best feature of this product is that the length of the grip can be adjusted in three stages: 115/120/130mm and it is nice to know that it can be used for both bar-end and non-penetrating types because it comes with a bar-end cap. There are up to five temperature levels, and it's nice to be able to finely adjust the temperature to match the glove used and the temperature of the day.
No. 5 DAYTONA｜Hot Grip Heavy Duty Built-In 4Sn
This is also an integrated type, and it has the same thickness as a normal grip, and even the control switch is built into the grip, which makes it look really neat. The color of the LED lamp changes depending on the temperature, so it's highly visible. The handlebars are immediately poofy thanks to the "Quick Heat Feature". And the grip heater is all about "quick heat" too!
No.4 HONDA｜Grip heater
This machine is specially designed for monkeys and scooters. It is affordable for an integrated model, and is finished with a separate controller type, and is finished with a design that is not decorated without wastefulness as only genuine. It has simple and sufficient functions, and the built-in battery voltage monitoring system is also a nice point.
Are you a roll-up person? Are you a grip changer?
We've brought you our fourth-place ranking, but the Daytona Grip Heater is one step ahead! It's hard to decide which one to choose, since they have their own advantages and disadvantages, the detachable wrap-around type with excellent cost performance and always removable, and the interchangeable grip type with a strong and natural fit in one piece.
On the next page, we finally announce our Top 3!
