Oxford Monster Disc Lock Yellow - Sold Secure Gold OF36M

Product Information

Some motorcycle riders have the same misguided belief that token deterrents will prevent their beloved machines from being stolen. Steel is the metal of choice when going one-on-one with bike thieves. The casing is also a potential weak link and should be considered.

Many will also come with a safety lanyard to remind you to remove it before you ride off – you would be surprised by how many people forget it’s there and get a rude awakening after just a few millimetres of their journey.

Cheap but not particularly cheerful from a thief’s perspective, the HD max is a tried-and-true design with a convenient key replacement service.The aim is to avoid inconvenience if you forget one, but also to avoid the chance discovery of a spare and risking the theft of your bike. Hiding one on your bike shortens the distance but don’t make it obvious… some thieves are clever; their ‘job’ requires it. The alarm is sensitive which has scored it a few negative points from owners but the plus side is that it’s practically impossible to ride off with the 8008 still fitted to your disc due to the sensitivity of the alarm. The best way to prevent this from happening is to install a memory cable. Total no-brainer – extremely cheap and will stop you looking like a numpty!
