geoff90 Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 I have two xena ones, a small yellow one and a larger silver one. They are great and I would say the smaller one is better due to size, cost and its more visible on wheel so you dont forget. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donnie Brasco Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Speaking from my own experience,first off no matter how good and expensive a disc lock is,it wouldn't stop anyone stealing it and I'm not talking about lifting a bike into a van.I had my bike stolen and had the top of the range xena on it and teenagers managed to take it off,so on that basis its purely a deterrent! Another thing to bare in mind with this particular brand is the key mechanism can seize and jam,I've been through 3 of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ManInASuitcase Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 I use a Xena XN15,quality product.Also bought an item called the claw which attaches to the lock and enables you to use it as a lock securing a chain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NearOn Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 I just bought one from fleabay for a tenner, ones below slightly more, thought be too good to be true. But does what it says on the tin. My oxford disc lock doesn't have an alarm in it so just wanted one that will go off if tampered with and this does that. It goes off if someone try's to mess with it and it is sensitive to vibration. It is a no make disc lock so insurance wont recognise it but should help a bit to be a deterrent. As others have said though if they want to nick it, they will.This is ithttp://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HEAVY-WEIGHT-MOTORCYCLE-BIKE-DISC-LOCK-ALARMED-/150814611108?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts&hash=item231d4056a4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't last very long, but usually conk out whilst its still new enough to contact the seller and get it replaced Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robbie1 Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 i have a xena xx14 very effective both visualy and the 120db alarm i would recommend it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam_M Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 I have the Oxford one. Don't buy it.The inside of it starts rusting away very quickly, though WD40 has sorted it out, it worries me to continue using it.The alarm function doesn't work very well when someone's actually trying to steal it, it does however work very well when you're trying to lock/unlock it.Overall... not impressed.
