After years of research, A’ME Grips just introduced a lock-on, heated mountain bike handlebar grip. The company claims “a comfortable hand temperature improves blood flow which reduces fatigue and maximizes dexterity and performance” and we don’t disagree – though we’ll probably still stick to a good pair of insulated MTB gloves for the coldest days of the year.

The grips allow you to adjust to 6 different temperature settings at the push of a button and a techy blue LED indicates the heat level. At $129.95 for the pair, these grips aren’t cheap and the battery pack and charger aren’t even included at that price (no word on pricing for those items yet). We don’t know how much these grips weigh but we’re guessing the battery pack puts them on the heavy to extremely heavy side of the scale for grips.
