Coolride Grip Heating System Comfort Alpin SPC-5TC

Update 2023: Heating cartridges with clamp mounting, quick & easy installation without curing time! Thermal performance once again improved!

What is the Coolride grip heating system Comfort?

The grip heating System Comfort is based on a pair of Coolride heating cartridges that are built into the handlebars and specifically heat the grip area from inside. They are controlled with a powerful, 5-stage electronic power controller, which can be installed completely invisibly due to its small dimensions. It is operated via a discreet, waterproof LED push button made of anodized aluminum..

Comfort or Comfort Alpin?

The SPC-5 and SPC-5TC power controllers follow a puristic operating concept. Teay are identical in their basic functions. The SPC-5TC (Alpine) power controller also offers temperature compensation. A temperature sensor continuously registers changes of the ambient temperature, e.g. by drivingin the mountains or at changing weather conditions, and independently changes the heat output in 20 finely tuned levels. Treat yourself to optimal thermal comfort!

You can find the "Comfort" version without temperature compensation here.
