A handy addition from KEiS

Heated clothing specialists, KEiS, have added Heated Grips to their winter 2010/11 collection; ideal for those planning to ride through the coldest season.

Designed to provide continual, controllable warmth, KEiS Heated Grips reduce the need for bulky, insulated gloves, which can impair control and feel - crucial for winter riding, where conditions require careful operation of the throttle, clutch and front brake.

Each set comes with a combined on/off and temperature control switch, which is easily operated with gloved hands, and can be handlebar or bodywork mounted for quick operation. There are two temperature settings, so riders can tailor the heat level to the conditions.

The Grip surface is designed to offer control and feel, and is resistant to cracking. Both this and the electrical components are manufactured to resist moisture and low temperatures too, for a long service life. In addition, the switch has relay protection - to reduce the risk of shorting - and is tested to more than 100,000 usages for reliability.

Suitable for most machines with 7/8 inch handlebars, KEiS Heated Grips come complete with everything needed to install, require no glue to fix in place, and have open ends to accommodate bar ends where required.

KEiS Heated Grips are part of the complete range of KEiS Heated Apparel and accessories, and are priced £49.98 including VAT. Call 01256 704909 or visit www.keisapparel.co.uk for more information.

XENA's Bullett with Bite

XENA Security has developed a range of stainless steel U-locks to complement its leading alarmed disc-locks.

Like the disc-locks, these ultra high security U-locks are made with high-grade materials and employ innovative design. The name Bullett derives from the unique locking mechanism, which is housed inside a removable "bullet" shape unit - no tools are required as the key operates the locking function and provides access for maintenance, or to re-key.

Constructed from high-grade stainless, inert gas-hardened and chro-moly steels, the 18mm shackle resists cutting and drilling, as well as attacks using an ice spray, a substance that thieves commonly use to render cheaper materials brittle and thus easier to crack.

The double-locking mechanism secures both ends of the shackle and the U-bar is designed to resist attempts to twist it open in either direction, in the unlikely event that one side is cut free.

Like all XENA disc-locks, the Bullett locks use a key and barrel that is manufactured in-house, with 250,000 possible key combinations and a pickproof drill-resistant key entry.

Tested and approved by independent European bodies (e.g. SRA in France and VAT in Finland) XENA locks are highly resistant to the elements to provide years of trouble-free service.

Available in two sizes - 108mm x 270mm (internal loop width) at £75 and 108mm x 310mm at £115 - XENA Bullett locks are available from Motohaus Powersports, T, 01256 704909 / www.motohaus.com
