120dB Disc Lock from Kovix

Combining seriously solid stainless steel construction and an ear-splitting alarm, the new Kovix KNX15 Disc Lock adds two layers of security in one for motorcycles and scooters.

Bike theft remains an ever-present threat in Britain. Powered two wheelers were 11 times more likely to be stolen than cars in 2021, and represented over 25% of all stolen vehicles in the UK.

To reduce risk, both the Metropolitan Police and the Motorcycle Industry Association advise riders to ‘layer’ security – using more than one device to maximise protection.

The Kovix KNX15 alarmed disc lock adds two layers of security in one device. Its strong stainless steel body and 14mm carbide-reinforced locking pin stop the brake disc from rotating, preventing the bike from being ridden or wheeled away. Both are designed to resist hammer and cutting tool attacks.

The pin is double-locking, which stops the ‘jaw’ of the lock from being prized open, and it is operated with a pick-proof maximum security key.

Encased in the steel body is an ear-piercing 120db alarm, which activates whenever the built-in Triaxial Shock and Movement Sensors detect anyone interfering with the machine. Louder than a police siren (110dB), the ear-splitting noise is enough to put off even the most determined thieves.

An easy-to-use on/off function allows the alarm to be disabled and re-armed by the user. An automatic reset feature also features, should the system be accidentally activated.

Easily stashed in luggage or under a seat, so you can take it wherever you travel, the Kovix KNX15 retails at £134.99. It comes complete with a long-life lithium battery, carry bag and full instructions.

Sunra UK endorse BikeTrac Lite

Sunra UK has announced a new collaboration with leading motorcycle and scooter tracking specialists, BikeTrac, endorsing the all-new BikeTrac Lite product for use and fitment on the entire Sunra EV range of models.

Launched last December, BikeTrac Lite offers a fit-and-forget tracking solution for smaller capacity or lower valued machines and like the regular full-feature BikeTrac device, enjoys Thatcham S7 rated security, offering owners greater protection against bike theft.

Announcing the endorsement and collaboration, Sunra UK’s Logan Black, commented, “As the Sunra range of models becomes more popular, we are keen to make sure that our customers have a range of services and products to keep them mobile. While our products do come with an alarm and a physical immobiliser function as standard, locking the rear wheel when unauthorised movement is detected, we’re mindful that bike thieves go to extreme lengths. With BikeTrac we are confident that we have a proven product and partner to offer our customers greater protection.”

As well as offering additional peace of mind to Sunra owners, the BikeTrac collaboration also provides insurance advantages too, with Sunra’s official insurance scheme provider, Lexham, providing up to 10% discount to owners of any model equipped with a BikeTrac unit.

BikeTrac’s Bill Taylor added, “We are delighted to gain endorsement from the Sunra UK team. Our BikeTrac Lite product has been developed for small capacity and lower valued machines, and so to have our product endorsed for EV use with Sunra is ideal. The lower draw rate of our products and the internal battery make it ideal for use on electric bikes and thanks to the small unit size, it can be easily installed in discrete locations on any of the Sunra lineup. We look forward to protecting many Sunra owners in the future.”

BikeTrac announce all-new Lite product

Leading motorcycle tracking specialists, BikeTrac, have today announced their all-new slimmed down tracking unit, BikeTrac Lite; aimed at cost-conscious riders, looking for a device that simply offers the brand’s renowned security functionality.

The ideal tracking solution for riders of low capacity or older machines, BikeTrac Lite takes all of  the trusted tracking features from the brand’s premium device, such as GPS and Radio Frequency technology, but is instead stripped back to be a simple fit-and-forget, cost effective alternative.

BikeTrac’s Bill Taylor announced the new Lite device, commenting, “We are delighted to be able to bring this new simplified product to market. While our premium device is still very much a market-leader thanks to its feature-rich functionality and impeccable recovery results over the last decade, we’ve been keen to bring a slimmed down version to the market for lower value machines for quite some time. We’ve tried hard to make cost much less of an issue for riders looking for truly effective bike security.

“With BikeTrac Lite, we’ve been able to slim down the additional functionality of the unit without losing the key security features, so our customers will all be protected by the very same technology regardless of what unit they choose. As a result, we can pass this cost saving down to users, which in turn we hope will see more riders adopt tracking as their chosen line of defense.”

While BikeTrac’s premium product still provides customers with one of the most feature-rich devices available, all customisable from their own app and web portal, BikeTrac Lite simply works silently in the background, with movement notifications sent via text, email and Push notification, along with BikeTrac’s Secure Operating Centre available 24/7.

BikeTrac Lite has a recommended unit retail price of £199, with subscription costs at £5.99 per month or annual fee of £60. 0% finance is also available.

Leverage extra security with new Kovix lock

New from Kovix, the Brake Lever Lock combines a robust metal body with an ear-splitting alarm to provide extra layers of security when your motorcycle is parked.

Simply clamp the lock around the brake lever and throttle and instantly add three layers of security – a visual deterrent to opportunist thieves, heavy-duty zinc/steel alloy construction for a tough physical obstacle and a built-in 120dB alarm for an audible warning too.

Once locked in place it stops both the throttle and front brake from operating and, should anyone attempt to move the machine or tamper with the lock, the shock and movement sensor triggers the 120dB siren, instantly attracting attention.  On occasions when the alarm isn’t required the siren can be switched off.

Lighter and more compact than chains and U-locks, the Brake Lever Lock is easy to transport and, unlike disc locks, doesn’t require fiddling around by the front wheel. An added bonus is that the user can’t accidentally ride off without removing the lock first!

Not only is the zinc/steel alloy body much more resistant to attack than plastic-bodied locks, but the heavy-duty steel key barrel also resists picking and drilling.

The Kovix Brake Lever Lock is available in Red or Blue and retails at just £94.99 including VAT. It’s ideal for classic scooters and motorcycles which don’t have space between the disc rotor and wheel rim to fit a conventional disc lock.

XENA Motorcycle Security Products

The increasing theft rates have made motorbike security locks a need of time without which motorbikes are extremely prone to thefts. The market is flooded with cheap & unreliable locks that can easily be bypassed in a minute. Therefore, we are trying out a number of Xena Security items during a motorcycle test. The look at the Xena XX14 bluetooth disc lock, XSU series stainless steel locks, steel chain, chain adaptor and ground anchor.

The first & most important part of the package is the Xena XX14 bluetooth disc lock. The Xena disc lock series is available in several configurations and the XX14 is the second most heavy-duty lock that is compatible mostly with bigger bikes (we have previously tested the bigger brother XX15). The stainless-steel mono-bloc has a built-in beefy 14 mm carbide-reinforced pin which is then operated by a key. Once locked, and turned on via the app the sensitive motion & shock sensor inside the lock are delicate enough to sound the alarm even if someone slightly moves the bike. Having already setup the XX15 on my phone it was easy to setup the XX14 (you can have more than one item setup) but if first time it can initially be a bit fiddly to setup. In our previous test of the XX15 once I figured out that the Xena has to be locked and in position on the disc to enable the bluetooth all was good. You can of course still use the lock as a standard disc lock without bluetooth or the alarm. The 120dB sound alarm is pretty loud to scare away the thief and to alert the people around the bike. The alarm & battery settings can be configured via the mobile app and the Lithium cell can be replaced easily using the key. The Xena XX14 is not only compatible with several motorbikes but it will also pass the test of time thanks to its corrosion-resistant body & the pin.

The Xena XX14 disc lock provides excellent security, but there’s always room for improvement and that is where the chain adaptor and the chain itself come into play. The Xena chain adaptor and the chain are sold as separate accessory items with the XX14 lock, and they are a great choice if you want to firmly secure your motorbike. The chain adaptor might look a bit thin from a distance, but it is quite resistant against attacks from a wedge or even a heavy-duty plier. Note, the chain adaptor isn’t compatible with the XX15 but I’m sure they will bring a larger one out.

Once the chain adaptor is firmly in place, it is then time to hook it to Xena’s hardened steel chains (with the paddock). Xena steel chains are available in different configurations and all of them work just fine, though, a thicker chain would be a better choice if you want extra protection. Moreover, all the Xena chains are corrosion resistant and covered with a nylon sleeve just so they don’t rattle & corrode as much as they do without a sleeve.

The final step to secure your bike by a chain is to use either a lock or a ground anchor and thankfully Xena has got both the products for you. Xena’s XSU series stainless steel locks have got the strength and the ability to firmly lock up a chain wrapped around a motorbike. Both the lock and the chrome shackle are hardened to make them more resistant to fractures. Available in three different configurations, the Xena locks are designed and made to go perfectly well with Xena steel chains (and disc lock with chain adaptor) which make these locks a must-buy in conjunction with Xena steel chains.

A padlock is a necessary item to secure a motorbike outside a garage (in conjunction with padlock and chain) a ground anchor is a better choice when it comes to securing a motorbike in a garage, driveway or on patio in our case. The XGA ground anchor by Xena is made just for this purpose and it can be installed very easily using just a 20mm drill bit (which you will need to buy separately if like me you only had a 12mm). The nearly 2kg heavy anchor can safely be driven over when flat and its single bolt holds to the ground securely. With a pulling strength of over 3-tonnes, the XGA ground anchor will secure any motorbike effortlessly.

Overall, Xena motorbike security products are made for each other and therefore can be used easily with one another. The availability of such a diverse range of options makes it easier to secure a motorbike at any place that ultimately provides peace of mind to the owner and allows him to fully delve into his tasks without thinking time & again about the safety of his prized motorbike.

My only slight niggle is if your going to buy the full package different coloured key covers for each item or something to indicate which key belongs to which item as the keys are pretty much identical. For example I had the XX15, XX14 disc locks and padlock on a bike, it got very confusing with which key went which product in the end I scratched into the plastic the identity of each item.

This isn’t a niggl but more advice the chain is really heavy so if you plan to take it with you on a ride bare that in mind.

The XX14 Bluetooth Alarmed Disk Lock, Chain, Ground Anchor and Padlock were supplied to us by Motohaus.com. The XX14 Bluetooth Alarmed Disk Lock retails for £100 – including VAT. To purchase visit www.motohaus.com

Xena Security Disc-Lock Alarm

Thefts are not just limited to cars, in fact, close to 40,000 thefts in England & Wales are related to motorcycles and scooters, which accounts for a 3.3% chance of your motorcycle getting stolen. This alarming statistic and the general fear forces a motorcyclist like me to ensure the proper security of his pride and joy, which is why I have been recently started using the XX15 BLE disc-lock by Xena Security, and here’s an insight into my experience so far with this lock.

The XX15 disc-lock has been on the market for awhile now, and it remains a popular choice amongst motorcyclists for theft protection. Thankfully, the lock fits most motorcycles and large scooters. which is the reason why I didn’t encounter any problem while testing this on the new Triumph Trident’s front disc. The main reason why I chose the XX15 lock over others is because of the host of security aides packed inside it in particular the alarm. The XX15 is an improved and refined version of the XX14 lock.

The newest addition to the latest XX-series lock is the inclusion of a smartphone-controlled Bluetooth app for both Android and iOS phones that lets you customize various settings; this convenient feature has countless times helped me modify various settings without taking a long walk to my motorcycle. Initially it was a bit fiddly to setup but once I figured out that the Xena has to be locked and in position on the disc to enable the bluetooth all was good. You can of course still use the lock as a standard disc lock without bluetooth or the alarm.

The stainless-steel body and the 14mm reinforced carbide pin are sturdy enough to withstand a harsh direct or indirect blow. Moreover, the in-built shock & movement sensors are programmed to be just sensitive enough to respond to a potential theft attempt so there are almost no chances of false alarms. In the time Ive had it have never been irritated by a false alarm which is a testament to the precise programming backing the XX15 disc-lock.

Speaking of false alarms, the sound output of the lock is 120dB, which, to be honest, is quite high pitched and helps scare away a thief quite easily. The battery is easily removable via the keys and supplied allen key and can last up to a year with normal usage. The keys themselves are quite resistant to forgery and the lock insert is also quite pick-proof.

The Xena is quite heavy and large so if you take it with you on a ride I suggest you place it under your seat (if there’s room) or in luggage rather than in a jacket pocket.

The Xena XX15 disc-lock can also be availed with a chain adaptor or a ground anchor for additional security, but the lock itself is good at what it is designed & made for. Ultimately, I would totally recommend this lock to anyone looking to secure his/her motorbike or scooter as the lock has always provided me with peace of mind in particular overnight.

* Word of note the luminous cable reminder doesn’t come with the lock but its still handy to remind oneself that the lock is there as you can easily forget it’s there if your in a rush.

The XX15 Bluetooth Alarmed Disk Lock was supplied to us by Motohaus.com. The XX15 Bluetooth Alarmed Disk Lock retails for £110 – including VAT. To purchase visit www.motohaus.com

Oxford Quartz XD6 & XD10 Disc Lock

When Oxford launched the first disc lock to the UK in the 1990s, it was an immediate hit. Finally, a lightweight, portable security solution for motorcycles!

The original disc lock was a simple design made from carbon-hardened, drop-forged steel… but it was tough, easy to use and even came with a carry bracket.
It was called the QUARTZ disc lock.

Roll forward a quarter of a century and over a quarter of a million happy customers, Oxford is launching the latest iteration of its QUARTZ disc lock.

Still forged from the best quality materials, but now with an attack-frustrating twin-spar construction and an anti-pick multi-disc key way, the QUARTZ XD comes with two locking pin options: 6mm for scooters and classics; 10mm for modern motorcycles.

SizzApp Review

SizzApp – review by Laramoto.

This is a SizzApp review about a bike tracker that I didn’t think I’d use, but since I fitted it, it’s become essential. As much as we’d love to ride our bikes 100% of the time, at some point we are going to leave it; either tucked up in a garage, or maybe in a free parking space on a busy street, or in the corner of a poorly lit car park. I used to regretfully look over my shoulder as I said goodbye to my precious motor. Now I can walk away knowing I’m still connected to my bike through the SizzApp monitoring device.

The immediate reassurance of fitting a tracker are the movement notifications, indicating that your bike has moved. In my case, my delightful partner was taking her out of the garage for a clean and the SizzApp device alerted my phone immediately via a ‘towing’ notification. It will also tell you less good news, if the monitor had been unplugged, the signal was jammed or if it has been in a crash. You can even set up a ‘Geofence’, where it will report if your bike has moved outside the perimeter you have set around your home, or where you parked it. If you’ve left your bike sit for a while, it’s easy to check the battery voltage too, all reported in the app.

The tracking GPS function is ideal for a group ride out. If you’ve all got the monitor fitted; being separated is easily fixed as you can see exactly each party is and navigate straight back to each other. You can record all your ride-outs for the last 2 years, share your favourite rides on social media and plan trips with others.  You even get some bragging stats for the cafe stop, including top speed (km/h), braking & acceleration forces (m/s2)… best to save those max efforts for the track eh?

The less appealing bit is fitting it. It is definitely simple but if you’ve got a bike where the battery is firmly tucked under fairing instead of your seat, it’s a pain. The app interface is a bit sensitive and not quite as intuitive as you might be used to, however I’ve never had better instant customer service than the @Sizzapp Instagram team. Now I’ve fitted the Sizzapp monitor I don’t want to give it back!

Watch this space you will be able to get the Sizzapp at a very discounted price for Superbike News readers.

Secure navigation with Wunderlich

Wunderlich’s Navigation Lock offers peace of mind for BMW RT owners, helping to guard the expensive OE Navigator system against would-be thieves.

The RT’s original sat nav has no way of being secured, so it can be quickly removed by an opportunist when left unattended.

Quick and easy to fit and operate, Wunderlich’s Navigation Lock works with the original BMW central locking system to secure the sat nav automatically; whenever the central locking is activated, the servo motor locks the Navigator in place – no separate keys or fiddly locks.

The lock attaches discreetly beneath the shell of the sat nav unit via a tailored steel bracket. Power comes through original connections, for plug-and-play fitting.

The Wunderlich Navigation Lock fits both R 1250 RT and R 1200 RT LC models with central locking, and is compatible with the Navigator 4, 5 and 6 models.

It’s made in Germany, comes with a five-year warranty and retails at £149 including VAT.
