Here is a small selection of what riders, biker associations, magazines and websites from around the world are saying about XENA products: |

"An exceptionally well-designed and high quality anti-theft device… even without the alarm it would be difficult to forget to remove when before you attempt to drive off. The alarm is VERY loud, which helps if you are in a hotel room. For those on a limited budget, this is one of the best basic anti-theft products on the market."
"Xena's disc lock alarm features a built-in alarm that warns me if anyone moved my bike and lets me know it's still there before I rode off with it on. The alarm ain't no joke either: it's loud! I mean loud enough to hear from inside your favorite bar!" |

"I've had this alarm disc lock on test from Xena for over a year now and it still emits a truly ear-bleeding shriek, each time a bike gets moved when it is fitted and armed.
My own bike has a Datatool alarm fitted, but some test bikes I ride have virtually no security, apart from a steering lock, which makes the Xena a very handy item indeed. It makes a strong visual deterrent, plus loud noise, to scare away casual thieves who target smaller bikes - which often have poor security.
It is also portable, unlike a lock and chain, although the Xena disc lock is heavy to carry about. I wouldn't recommend putting anything this solid in your pockets, but it is portable in throwover panniers, or tankbag.
Unlike a rival disc lock I tried, the Xena item actually fitted through the vents in my VFR800 disc brake carrier. It appears to be surviving the weather very well too.
I would say that if you ride a commuter bike, which has no alarm as standard, or a scooter - especially a two stroke, which tend to be targeted by young joyriders - then you would be wise to spend the £39.99 that the Xena XD14 disc alarm lock costs.
It is Thatcham approved so it could save you a bit on your bike/scooter insurance too." |

"Remember the feeling you had the first time you tried to ride off into the sunset with a disc lock installed on your front brake rotor? The sound of metal clashing reaches your ear just before you go down, and in that instant you remember "Oh sh*t! I forgot to take the lock off." Even if you haven't had this memorable experience you probably know someone that has. There have been many devices used to help you remember to remove the disc lock—most are simply placed over the throttle or clutch lever and serve to jog your memory for lock removal before launch. XENA has a better solution that has additional benefits…"

"There are loads of locks on the market. A lot of them are very worthy locks. There are also loads of alarms on the market and I was looking to add one to my bike. Then I found the Xena XN14/XM14 Series Security Disc Lock Alarm.
This disc lock alarm is designed to withstand all kinds of attacks. It has microprocessor-controlled shock and movement sensors that trigger a gut wrenching 110dB siren. That's way above the threshold for hearing damage and about the same as a loud rock concert, according to DangerousDecibels.org. The lock also comes with a high security key and barrel lock that wraps the hardened steel and stainless steel body on your brake rotor. This lock in my opinion is a bargin at $100!" |
