With motorcycle theft on the increase in some European countries, it makes sense to protect your wheels. XLMOTO has an incredible collection of motorcycle locks, disc locks, chains and accessories to help secure your motorcycle. As well as keeping thieving hands at bay, some high-spec locks and chains have EU Certification. This feature is crucial as it ensures quality and may qualify riders for insurance discounts. Beating the thieves relies on the quality and quantity of anti-theft devices protecting your motorcycle. Law enforcement bodies encourage using more than one anti-theft device. You can do this thanks to XLMOTO's excellent range of products, which all represent exceptional value for money.
A motorcycle disc lock attaches to the front or rear disc to prevent the motorcycle from being wheeled away. This device is portable and easy to stash under the seat. If space is tight, XLMOTO offers a range of disc lock brackets for easy transportation. Motorcycle disc lock lanyards are a must with this lock type. You'll cover all the bases when you choose a motorcycle disc lock with a built-in alarm and lanyard.
When it comes to padlocks, you do get what you pay for. At XLMOTO, you will find a wide selection of padlocks. These include wallet-friendly scooter locks to high-spec top-shelf models for ultimate protection.
Lock and chain sets are great value for money, and you can use them in multiple ways. For instance, you can secure your motorcycle's front or back wheel by placing the chain through its forks or swingarm. Or, you can attach your motorcycle to a lamppost or ground anchor.
This anti-theft device is an oversized padlock with an extended U-shaped shackle. The shackle can pass through both fork legs or swingarm if it is long enough.
All locks provide some level of security. However, a lock with an integral alarm doubles your chances of preventing theft. Disc locks and padlocks are available with built-in alarms and are movement activated.
Whether you park your motorcycle in a garage or outside your property, an anchor securely fixed to the floor or wall is a great addition. A good quality lock and chain attached to a ground anchor make it impossible to move a motorcycle without using heavy-duty power tools.
So far, we've looked at external ways of protecting your motorcycle, but it's time to get stealthy. A disc lock, padlock or chain is a great visible deterrent, but as a backup, a GPS tracker is hard to beat. These devices are small enough to hide behind bodywork and transmit your motorcycle's location to your mobile device or computer.
