Protecting a motorcycle is essential. While a disc lock is a great portable deterrent, a heavy-duty chain is the cornerstone of home security. But choosing the right one can be a minefield of different brands, confusing security ratings, and fluctuating prices. To cut through the noise, I've created this simple, at-a-glance comparison of the most popular security products on the UK market today.
Using a straightforward 1-10 security score I've developed, this guide is my attempt to help you instantly see how each product stacks up. I compare official certifications, build quality, and prices to help you find the perfect balance of security and value for your ride.
I'm now expanding the list to include Chains alongside Disc Locks from leading brands like ABUS, Kryptonite, and Oxford. Use the new filter buttons below to select a product type first, then narrow it down by brand.

Pricing: The RRP (Recommended Retail Price) listed was researched on 6th October 2025 and is intended as a guide only. Prices can vary between retailers. Note: I've removed the 'Current UK Price' as it changes too frequently to be reliable. The RRP is provided as a more consistent benchmark.
Security Score: The score is my own personal interpretation, created for this guide to help with comparison. It is not an official rating from any security standards body. It's just my opinion based on the available data.
Layer Your Security: Remember, no single lock is invincible. A disc lock is an excellent portable deterrent, but for the best protection, I always recommend using it as part of a layered security system. Consider combining it with a heavy-duty chain, a ground anchor, and a motorcycle cover whenever possible.
