The RSI Extended Hi-Power Grip Heater Kit for Arctic Cat Thundercat, Arctic Cat Catalyst, Yamaha Sidewinder, and Yamaha Viper models is specifically designed for riders using handlebars equipped with hooks, mountain bars, race hooks, stub hooks, and extended grip configurations. Unlike standard square heater elements that only heat the straight grip section, these extended heater elements continue into the hook area, delivering complete warmth across the entire grip and hook surface.
For mountain riders and aggressive trail riders, a large percentage of hand pressure is applied to the hook section of the handlebar. Traditional grip heaters often leave this area cold, resulting in uncomfortable cold spots exactly where riders need warmth and control. The RSI Extended Hi-Power Heater Kit eliminates this problem by extending heat all the way through the grip and around the curved hook section of the handlebar.
Designed specifically for Arctic Cat and Yamaha models utilizing the OEM plastic connector system, this heater kit installs directly into the factory wiring harness with true plug-and-play simplicity. No cutting, splicing, soldering, or wiring modifications are required.
The high-output heating elements are engineered to provide strong, consistent heat throughout the entire grip and hook area while maintaining compatibility with factory heat controls. Riders retain their original handlebar heat functionality while benefiting from significantly improved heat coverage and comfort.
Whether you’re climbing steep mountain terrain, sidehilling technical backcountry lines, navigating deep snow conditions, or putting on long trail miles in sub-zero temperatures, the RSI Extended Hi-Power Grip Heater Kit provides exceptional warmth exactly where your hands spend the most time.
Each heater element features premium 3M self-adhesive backing for secure installation and long-lasting durability. The rugged construction is designed to withstand vibration, moisture, extreme temperatures, and years of aggressive riding.
These heaters are especially beneficial when paired with aftermarket aluminum handlebars. Because aluminum dissipates heat more rapidly than steel, the high-output RSI heating elements help maintain warmer grip temperatures throughout both the grip and hook sections.
If you’re running handlebars with hooks and want complete heat coverage from end to end, the RSI Extended Hi-Power Grip Heater Kit is the ultimate heating upgrade for Arctic Cat and Yamaha snowmobiles.
