Ideal for thicker tyres
Used on a Cube Travel with thick tyres and mudguards. Had to remove the wheel for it, though.
Pros & Cons
2 / 5
Great lock, but not for all AXA push-in chains.
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
5 / 5
Super convenient when it was finally assembled.
When assembling, grinding had to be done because the screw holes did not match perfectly.

Solid lock but read my review carefully!
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.

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

Excellent item. Feels very secure.

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

matches the description, easy to install.
Very good lock. No additional fixing is required if the inserts are provided in the bike frame.

Practical, reliable and quick to use! I recommend
Axa frame locks are practical and reliable. Almost all our bikes are equipped with plug-in chains.

Perfect, as described.
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.

A good cafe lock.
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.

happy with purchase. Fast delivery too.
No regrets. I wonder why these aren't fitted on everyone's bike

Great and not bulky, but don't go too far.
I highly recommend it for a short stop

Practical, fast and reliable when you only have to lock the bike and not connect it.
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.

Worthless
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.

sturdy and beautifully solid ring lock
Sensible to purchase the right matching chain with it (130 cm.)
5 / 5
Smooth, strong and easy to use.
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.

Solid bicycle lock
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.

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