"For me, the Ring Floodlight Cam Wired Plus gives me the same peace of mind that I’d get if I never went out and spent my days in a rocking chair on my back porch staring at my shed. The bright floodlights and piercing alarm ensure that someone can’t wander up to it unnoticed, and even if they did, the notification to my phone that someone had broken through the perimeter is instant.
 
It's easy to install, simple to configure, and is both rugged and reliable - like having my own personal Household Cavalry."

Pros

  • It's easy to install
  • Seamless connectivity
  • Rugged build quality
  • High definition camera with full colour night vision
  • The floodlights are bright
  • The alarm is loud

"The £59.99 ZD10 alarmed disc lock has a reassuring heft to it, yet it’s compact enough to fit into the pocket of my textiles without feeling too bulky. It has features like a carbide locking pin and full weatherproofing including against ice spray attacks, but one thing I really found neat was the way the battery installation works: I’ve criticised rival locks in the past for this, as quite often it’s a fiddly, irritating process, but here it’s simple – undo the grub screw (which isn’t accessible when on a disc, crucially) and the electrical assembly drops, allowing you to easily install it."

"I’m fully confident that not only will the alarm activate when either grip or disc lock is tampered with, but when it does it’ll be LOUD. The reason I know about the loudness is because when installing the batteries before using it, the locks emit a single 120dB beep that was so unexpectedly noisy I nearly fell off my chair."

"I’m a big fan of the bright colour, too. I’d far rather a thief was put off trying to steal my bike at a distance than getting up close before noticing the lock"

Pros

  • Feels hefty and strong
  • Alarm is very loud
  • Compact enough to fit into a pocket
  • Nice and bright to be seen by thieves

"Equally as intuitive is the ZHL grip lock, which comes with a handy fabric carrying case including belt hook. Even with my track day lever guards installed it fits the R7 brilliantly – you simply open the clamshell, close around your grip and brake lever, and turn the key to initialise. Easy."

"Keeping a motorbike safe is about making it harder to steal than the one parked next to it – harsh but true. A disc lock that can be dispatched with a swift hammer blow is better than nothing, but if you can afford better, then buy better."

"I haven’t personally attacked the LiteLok with an angle grinder, but plenty of independent sources I trust have done so and reported that it is incredibly tough to cut through. I’d be happy to spend my own money on one and it’s become my security of choice whether I’m out and about or at home."

Pros

  • Compact and light enough to carry with you easily
  • Repels angle grinder attacks
  • Can’t be easily bypassed like a disc lock
  • Has to be cut twice to be removed

Cons

  • Bigger and heavier than most disc locks
  • Your bike could still be lifted into a van
  • At the more expensive end of the security market
  • Ease of use

"The claim is that it deflects the energy from the grinding disc back on itself, and there have been several independent tests that certainly seem to prove the point. For added protection against assault from cutters and croppers, the Barronium armour is fused to a high tensile steel core, making chopping through it just as much of a challenge as cutting."

"I haven’t tried attacking it myself, preferring to use the X1 as my lock of choice both in the shed and for when I’m out and about."

"I used to carry a substantial lock and chain whenever I needed peace of mind on the go, but it was an awkward and heavy lump to lug about, especially when all I had was a rucksack. The X1 only weighs 1,500 grammes (on my scales) and measures just 265 x 178mm, meaning I can chuck it in my top box, tank bag, or any other piece of luggage for that matter, without worrying about the extra weight."

“You’ve probably not heard of Reapp – and nor had we until recently – but the deals on their disc locks are hard to ignore, especially in Amazon sale events. 
 
“At full price, the Reapp costs £32.99 and for that money you’d probably go for a brand you’ve heard of like Oxford who have alarmed disc locks in this price range. 
 
“But when it’s on offer at Amazon for as little as £23.99, it can look very tempting. So tempting, in fact, that we bought one. 
 
“The first thing you notice as you take the lock out of the packaging is that it is incredibly light. The whole top casing is made of thin cast metal and is pretty much hollow apart from the alarm circuitry. It doesn’t fill you with confidence. 
 
“The bottom section is made from solid metal but has such a cheap and scratchy finish that I initially thought it was made of plastic. 
 
“It’s not all bad, though, as the alarm sound is genuinely ear-splitting. It’s high-pitched and very loud and would definitely demand attention if someone was trying to steal your bike. 
 
“If you have a good-quality disc lock already without an alarm then the Reapp would make a good addition to your security armoury and it’s definitely better than nothing at all but if you have the budget there are better-quality options out there.”

This real time tracker is easy to install, simply atttach to the batter terminals. Monthly SIM payment required. It's waterproof and provides 2G coverage in several countries.
Tested by Richard Newland for three years and 30,000 miles

"This tracker is an affordable and simple option. I’ve been using previous versions for years, and most recently added two of these to my fleet. The unit cost includes two months of SIM coverage, then it’s just £36 per year.

"Set-up is as easy as deploying the batteries (no wiring needed) and syncing to your smartphone via the App, through which you can see unit status, battery life, connection and location of your bike when tracking. If the unit senses movement, but can’t contact the fob, you’ll get a call on your device and live tracking will begin."

How MCN tests alarmed security products

At MCN, our team of expert journalists have decades of experience gained over hundreds of thousands of miles in order to provide you with opinions and evaluations you can trust, alongside news of the most significant developments in motorcycling safety gear. We want you to stay safe, enjoy your riding and hopefully look great while doing so! 

We don’t test our kit to destruction; we use it exactly how you do, in the real world and in all conditions.

That means we can deliver impartial buying advice you can rely on. To make it onto this list, alarms must have been used for hundred or thousands of miles or several months by our team of experienced testers, show no major flaws, and meet modern safety standards as well as offering decent value for money. 

Each of our expert reviewers tests alarmed security to a set of criteria, both subjective and objective, including how they fit, the alarm’s volume (if fitted), whether there’s a tether, how easy the battery is to replace, what the packaging is like and how easy it is to carry with you on a ride out.

We also regularly compare them with one another in the office, so collectively we’ve built the sort of knowledge base you can trust.

If you can’t see a review against an alarm on this page, it’s because we haven’t tested it yet. These will only be included if we think they’re important and relevant in the market, and rest assured, we will be working on bringing you a review as soon as we’ve done the miles.

Here’s a brief run-down of the star rating system we use, and what each score means:

  • 1 star – Poor performance in this category or overall. A product with a single star rating has fallen below the expected standard and should be avoided.
  • 2 stars – Basic performance in this area or overall. A product with a two-star rating has managed to perform to a barely acceptable level and there is room for improvement.
  • 3 stars – An average performance in this area or overall. A product with a three-star rating has achieved a basic level of performance and is deemed adequate.
  • 4 stars – A product has performed over and above the accepted averaged in this category or overall. A product with a four-star rating has surpassed expectation and delivered in a particularly impressive way.
  • 5 stars – A product has performed at the highest possible level in a particular category or overall. A product with a five-star rating has delivered to the highest possible level, impressing the tester with its performance. We would happily spend our own money on it.
