Quality Xena Disk Lock - Update they've sent me a new lock.

Well how did the above happen, was it a sustained attack by a would be thief?

Perhaps I lost the key and I had to use powertools.

No, I simply forgot it was on the rear wheel and I simply wheeled my bike backwards pushing it by hand in my garage. There was a slight clunk and then this.

No damage to the disk or the bike or the swingarm where it must have hit against.

I honestly can't believe it broke.

The inside does not look light solid metal, it looks like a silvery pumice like stone material.

It would have offered zero protection against a thief, I think I paid over £30 for it, I can't remember exactly.

Letter to manufacturer with photos?

[Rogerborg]

Ask for the £25 of brand-name mark-up on your £5 lock to be refunded?

Wow - Not good at all. Let us know what Xena are able to do about it, would be interesting to hear if they are willing to send out another or whatever.

You could always glue it back together, it would probably be stronger than it was before.

It's unfortunate that Googling for Xena disc lock doesn't bring this page up in the first hits. Perhaps some more mention about how Xena disc locks suck might help?

I have a Xena Disc lock, and a second Xena Disc lock. Up until now I thought they were decent, but after seeing the picture of that Xena Disc Lock (which appears very similar to my Xena Disc Lock) I no longer think that Xena Disc Locks are suitable protection for my bike.

I have a cheap crappy one, much like a Xena disc lock, but perhaps not quite as crap. My crap lock (like a xena disc lock) was free with a chain and padlock, and only used to make noise in conjunction with other chains/disc locks (not like the xena disc lock).

That Xena disc lock looks crap though, cheap metal, budget crap, I will not be buying a xena disc lock.

Dear Kid,

We at XENA apologise to you and other BCF posters for crashing a forum. We realise and respect that this is not a place for manufacturers to shill their products but instead an open forum for riders to share their opinions.

However, as one of your fellow forum writers brought this to our attention, we would like to respond. First of all, we are sorry to hear about the lock in the photo. Secondly, we would submit that it is not ours.

Several points in the photo provided suggest to us that if imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, then we should be flattered. Apart from a vaguely familiar shape, this bears none of the marks of the locks we build and appears to be made of materials we do not use.

Copying of our alarmed disc-lock design is common and widespread. Equalling our build quality is not. There is nothing in the photo to suggest we made this lock and we would of course be willing to replace any lock that came out of our factory that behaved this way immediately and at our expense.

Please contact us at info@xenasecurity.com to provide proof of purchase, further photographs and ideally the lock itself so we can investigate the matter further and help us to protect your motorcycle in the manner it deserves.

Many thanks,
Team XENA

Lmao. Xena strikes back!

Now the top hit for Xena disc lock sucks, but still languishing off the first page for Xena disc lock though.

Handy for me, since I usually do a "product X sucks" search before purchase to find negative reviews.

Kawakid, post a photo of the other sides, I think Xena are mistaken as that looks very similar to this (a XENA disc lock that some neds broke, owned by Darth on here):

I can't remember if I bought it from Xena direct or from another seller.

But when I purchased it I remember I had a problem with the alarm and that was sorted out by sending me the new insides.

It also had the stickers on like the other posts, also my keys all say Xena on it.

I'll take some more pictures and post in a bit.

What I find annoying is that I did contact Xena but they failed to respond, I provided my name, address, daytime phone number etc.

But they only respond when a forum member points them to this thread.

Why not phone me up/write/email.

And now they are saying it's a fake.

(I hope I can find the receipt, but tbh I doubt it).

The reason they most probably came to this thread was for the sole reason of bad publicity the website is causing. Why express feelings to one person when you can reach the majority at the same time, simple marketing tactics.
