Reviews over the

AXA Block XXL ART2

It’s east to use and the key can’t be lost while using the bike.

Pros & Cons

It is exactly as described I did buy an extra insert chain lock with it

Pros & Cons

Very good lock. No additional fixing is required if the inserts are provided in the bike frame.

Easy to use

Pros & Cons

The product corresponds perfectly to my expectations

Axa frame locks are practical and reliable. Almost all our bikes are equipped with plug-in chains.

Very neat bicycle lock. Minus point is that there are no bolts included. So you cannot mount the lock directly on your bike!

Pros & Cons

The product corresponds to the description, the lock fits my MOUSTACHE XROAD 3 bike perfectly, the only negative point is that there is no cover to store the chain.

Pros & Cons

I highly recommend it for a short stop

Pros & Cons

When I bought it, I read that this lock was suitable for a plug-in chain. My AXA plug-in chain just doesn't fit. There are two sizes of plug-in chains. Now I have to buy another plug-in chain. Too bad.

Pros & Cons

No regrets. I wonder why these aren't fitted on everyone's bike

Pros & Cons

It's a solid lock and it's that I'm pretty technical myself. But those cover caps went back on very hard. Also a pity there were no simple stainless steel fasteners. Should have been €2 more for that lock for me.

Pros & Cons

I have been using AXA frame locks on several bikes for years (Defender, Victoria, XXL Block). I just find them super practical. The keys are not removable in the standard version, but I like that too. I attach the keys to the key ring with a carabiner so that I can detach them with one grip. If I forget whether I have locked the bike, one look at the key ring is enough - if the key is there, the bike is locked. Locking the bike is super quick and is especially practical during the day in the city. However, you can only lock the bike securely to an object with an additional plug-in chain, which I would strongly recommend at night. This is similarly awkward as with a normal bicycle lock. The "XXL Block" lock also only works with the 130cm plug-in chain, which is tapered at the socket for the plug-in pin. The sleeve of the 100 cm plug-in chain is cylindrical and abuts the outside of the housing, which is why the pin does not penetrate deep enough to engage.

Pros & Cons

Works well, easy to install and looks nice because it has a cover for the mounting screws. It has a very smooth action and it feels secure l.

Pros & Cons

Used on a Cube Travel with thick tyres and mudguards. Had to remove the wheel for it, though.

Pros & Cons

Fitted to my Cube Kathmandu with screws (not provided) into the capture nuts on the seat stays. Took a bit of figuring out how to remove and replace the plastic covers over the fixings. Very convenient in use especially with the chain. You can't lose the key.

Pros & Cons

Nice solid lock, fits a Cube Touring hybrid EXC. The cover caps are worthless, difficult to remove and once the lock is on the bike, they are almost impossible to get back on properly.

Pros & Cons

Sensible to purchase the right matching chain with it (130 cm.)

Does what a bike lock should do. And axa was always fine brand and so is this one.

Lock doesn't work, won't lock. Bit of a shame because that is exactly the only thing a lock should be able to do! After 5 uses, the plastic button fell off.

Pros & Cons

When assembling, grinding had to be done because the screw holes did not match perfectly.
