The Alpha XD14 brake disc lock offers a stiff challenge to any potential thief. Oxford provided a 14 millimetre diameter locking pin and a reminder cable to help you notice the lock is still in place.
Stainless steel, a hardened locking pin and a double locking system, tested at freezing temperatures, saw-proof and drill-proof, and with a unique design. Oxford knows what it takes. Even a sledgehammer would not be sufficient to open the Alpha XD14, according to the packaging. So what do you need? One of the three supplied security keys will do.
Using the reminder cable is very straightforward: you attach one loop to the lock and the other loop to the handle of your bike or scooter. So you never forget to remove the brake disc lock before you leave.
This brake disc lock weighs a bit, as it should, but it can be easily stored under most saddles.
Technical specifications:
- 14 mm locking pin
- ART- & SRA approved
- Distance between locking pin and inside extremity of lock: 48.5 mm
- Locking pin made of special hardened steel
- This lock is supplied with three keys
- Comes with a roll-up reminder cable that reminds you to remove the lock before riding off
Tip of the RAD-house: make it a habit to always attach your brake disc lock to the brake disc of your front wheel. It is much more noticeable for a potential thief (which is okay, a lock always has a dissuasive effect) and the odds are better that you notice it yourself before getting on.
You wouldn’t be the first to take off quickly and end up with a distorted brake disc or a banged-up mudguard.
