AXA Defender Frame Lock

The ART 2 star rating is a Dutch security standard often required by bicycle insurance providers in Europe. It indicates that the lock has been tested and approved to withstand specific theft attempts, making it a reliable choice for insuring your bike against theft.

The frame lock itself only secures your rear wheel to the frame. However, it features a plug-in option that allows you to connect an additional chain or cable, which you can then wrap around a fixed object for full security.

The AXA Defender is designed with a flexible mounting system that accommodates most standard bicycle frames. It can be installed using the top bolt mounting or the included flexible fixing set if your frame lacks pre-drilled mounting holes.

The cylinder includes a specialized anti-drilling plate that prevents thieves from using a drill to compromise the lock mechanism. This adds a crucial layer of defense against forced entry attempts.

Not at all. The lock features an ergonomic push button that makes it easy to engage and disengage, even if you are wearing gloves or in a hurry. It is designed for quick, everyday use.
