XENA chain links to Gold Standard


Having a motorcycle stolen is not only a devastating experience, it can also be very costly: insurance excess payments, loss of no claims bonus, and in some cases expensive repair bills if the bike is recovered. Investing in security devices can save the heartache, inconvenience and costs incurred from theft, but many riders can be put off by the high purchase price of quality equipment - around half of UK riders don't lock their machine at all*.

Prices for XENA's new XSU69 lock and chain start at £100 (for 1.1m length) and both lock and chain are tested and approved to the SoldSecure Gold Standard**, so riders can benefit from the highest quality security devices without paying top prices.

Constructed from high-grade stainless, inert gas-hardened and chro-moly steel, the padlock repels drill and hammer attacks and is also 100% corrosion resistant. Its 18mm chrome steel U-Bar features an Anti-Twist Shackle, designed to resist attempts to rotate it open in either direction, even if one side is cut free. And with 250,000 possible key combinations XENA's specially developed maximum security key and barrel is pick proof.

Complementing the padlock is XENA's ultra high security chain. Available in 1.1m, 1.5m and 2m versions, it is manufactured from high-grade alloy steels and is three-stage case hardened to give maximum possible resistance to saws and bolt cutters. Fitted with a durable woven sleeve to help protect the bike from damage, it is also supplied with a handy bag for storage when not in use.

XENA is committed to ensuring its entire product range can be relied upon to protect vulnerable and valuable machines, and submits all devices to independent test across the world, including SoldSecure (UK), Classe SRA (France), ART (Netherlands) and VAT (Finland).

**SoldSecure is an independent body funded by UK insurers, and administered by the Master Locksmiths Association. They assign three levels of security certification: Bronze, Silver and Gold. To qualify for the Gold standard, security devices are subject to lock picking, drilling, slide-hammering, sawing, a ‘wedging test' and a torque test. SoldSecure testers ‘attack' 6-8 samples of each device, to ensure quality throughout the range, and study technical drawings before the tests to determine weak points. Each type of device is subject to further annual testing, to ensure levels of security are maintained.
