Don't know Jason, I haven't tried my Motrax ones they are still Brand New in the box.
I had HHW before, they are good but without a thermostat they got a bit melted when left on to long

Have the motrax ones got a 'stat on them kev?

Had diamond security ones ,heard good things about them so i choose them ,....www.diasec.co.uk....... and they deliver...


have thermostat etc and give a good even heat to tyre but are 600 watt each if memory is correct so you will need a fairly good gennie for places like cadwell with no power

Don't think they have, but they are Yellow and Black and they were Very, Very, Very, Very, Very, Cheap so I got them and sold my old damaged ones.

Yeah Motrax ones are quite good, www.motrax.co.uk
lots of people use them at the race meetings.. :)

i was told that the motrax ones were not so great tbh - i was recommended to get euroquip ones which i did and have found to be excellent thought they are the only ones i tried and went on the recommendation

need a lot of power though - euroquip recommended me a min of a 1800w gennie

I've got some Diamond Security ones. They've been used for two seasons of racing without any problems. They're by no means the best but, for the money they're very good really. You will need some skins to go on top though to help them on cold days.

I hear Motrax are quite cheap, but not that high quality, but I could be completely wrong. I use Diamond and have had the same set for 4 years and they've done well over 100 trackdays and race days and still going strong, although I do look after them. (that's just made certain they'll blow up next time I use them)

We were all extremely impressed with MotoGP warmers on Mark's bike - they get a LOT hotter than Diamond or Motrax, but just found out that Mark's melted on the inside in Jerez, but then they had been on all day non-stop without the bike being used, so maybe you could expect it, although they do have a thermostat.

Mark now has Diamond GP which must be the better version from my basic Diamond I suppose. He reckons they are very good, but expensive.

Use the Diasec myself and agree with WJB. They are very good value for money and most probably the best of the "cheapies". Haven't used the MotoGP branded ones, but I've seen those go for as little as £99!
