The UK’s “Ride” magazine (April 2013) includes extensive coverage of motorcycle security and related issues and they outline the layered approach to security. The more layers you have in the system, the more secure your motorcycle or scooter will be. The logic is simple: if the product can’t be deployed with little effort, chances are it won’t be. Xena publishes the dimensions of each disk lock alarm on their website and they also had a “Does It Fit My Bike” automated chooser on their website that isn’t currently operational, for some reason.Īs noted in previous webBikeWorld reviews of motorcycle security products, no one device is a guarantee against theft or mischief.Ī “layered” security system is the best approach, and a disk lock or disk lock with alarm is one layer.Ī disk lock alarm like the Xena XX10 or other XX-series locks is easy to use, and ease of use is one key factor in a successful security strategy.

Xena has updated the XX-series motorcycle disk lock alarms, which now includes the XX6, XX10, XX14 and XX15.Įach disk lock alarm in the XX series has the same shape the differences are in the size of the locking pin and the overall width and height of the body. Included on that page are the webBikeWorld reviews of the Xena XX14 (review) from 2009, the progenitor of the XX10, and the Xena XN15 (review), another similar design from 2008. In fact, there are now so many reviews that a “ Motorcycle Alarms, Locks, Immobilizers” page was created to list them all. We have reviewed several other motorcycle disk locks, disk lock alarms and other types of security systems over the years. The XX10 is easy to use and the alarm has been de-sensitized slightly to reduce false alarms. Like the other Xena disk lock alarms, the lock is independent of the alarm, so a dead battery has no effect on the locking attribute. The XX-series has been updated with several features. The Xena XX10 is the latest evolution of a successful series of motorcycle disk lock alarms.
