AXA Defender Frame Lock: Ultimate Security and Convenience for Your Bicycle

Secure your bicycle with the ultimate in everyday protection and convenience with the AXA Defender Frame Lock. As a leader in bicycle security, AXA has engineered this high-quality ring lock to offer a formidable defense against theft, integrating seamlessly onto your bike´s frame so you are always prepared. Ideal for daily commuters, city cyclists, and anyone who values peace of mind, the Defender provides a robust, reliable, and user-friendly security solution.

The primary benefit of the AXA Defender is its optimal blend of high-level security and effortless operation. This lock is designed to immobilize your rear wheel in a single, swift action, preventing ride-away theft. Its hardened steel construction and advanced cylinder technology provide excellent protection against common theft methods, giving you the confidence to leave your bike unattended during short stops.

Uncompromising Security and Durability

The AXA Defender is not just a deterrent; it is a fortress for your bicycle. It boasts an impressive AXA Safety Index of 12 out of 15, signifying a high level of protection suitable for urban environments. The lock is approved by major bicycle insurance companies, holding the prestigious ART 2-star certification, a testament to its ability to withstand rigorous professional testing. The core of its strength lies in its anti-drilling plate located within the cylinder, which effectively thwarts attempts to compromise the lock mechanism. The shackle and the entire Padlock Box (lock housing) are crafted from hardened steel, making them incredibly resistant to cutting, pulling, and torsion attacks.

Enhanced Versatility with Plug-In Capability

What truly sets the AXA Defender apart is its innovative plug-in functionality. While the frame lock itself perfectly secures your bike´s wheel, a dedicated port on the side of the lock allows you to connect an additional AXA Plug-In Chain or Cable (such as the ULC 130 or RLC 140). This transforms your security setup, enabling you to anchor your bicycle to a fixed object like a lamppost, bike rack, or fence. This dual-locking method provides maximum protection, securing both the bike´s frame and wheel to an immovable object, making it a complete anti-theft system.
