Frequently asked questions
Is the disc lock with alarm worth the expense?
Yes, if you park on the street and in areas where noise attracts attention. The alarm is activated by tampering or significant disc movement. However, it has the drawback of potentially sounding on its own due to vibrations from nearby trucks or strong winds; in very quiet areas, it can become annoying for neighbors.
Chain or disc lock? Which is better?
It depends on the use. Disc lock: quick to put on and take off, ideal for short stops. Chain with padlock: more secure because it anchors the motorcycle to something fixed, ideal for overnight outdoor parking. The combination of the two offers maximum protection: neither alone will stop a determined thief with the right equipment.
What is Sold Secure certification?
It is the European benchmark for motorcycle alarm security tests. Gold, Silver, and Bronze categories indicate the time a thief takes to overcome the alarm with standard equipment. Many comprehensive insurance contracts require at least Silver or Gold to be valid in case of theft.
