Oxford Beast 22mm Chain X 1.5m

The Oxford Beast Chain is Oxford's largest and strongest motorcycle security chain, built from 22mm hardened steel links in a 1.5-metre length. Each link carries real mass — the chain alone weighs 12kg — and the whole run is covered in a protective material sleeve so it won't mark paintwork, rims or bodywork while it's threaded through your bike.

It's aimed at riders who want serious static security at home or in a garage rather than something to carry under the seat: think chaining through the frame or rear wheel to a ground anchor or other immovable point. Used together with the Beast lock, the combination holds a Sold Secure Powered Cycle (Motorcycle) Diamond rating and a 5-star rating from ART, having survived attacks including bolt croppers, drills and a sustained angle grinder attempt.

This listing is for the chain only — the Beast lock is sold separately.

• 22mm diameter hardened steel links — Oxford's strongest chain
• 1.5m usable length for frame, wheel or ground-anchor securing
• Protective material sleeve over the links to prevent paintwork damage
• Sold Secure Powered Cycle (Motorcycle) Diamond rated when used with the Beast lock
• ART 5-star rated (highest ART rating) as part of the Beast system
• Tested against pliers, bolt croppers, drills and a 90-second angle grinder attack
• 12kg chain weight — intended as a static home or garage security chain
• Lock sold separately

• Oxford Beast 22mm chain, 1.5m, with protective sleeve

Pair the chain with the Oxford Beast lock (sold separately) — the Sold Secure Diamond and ART 5-star ratings apply to the lock and chain used together, not the chain on its own.
Thread through the frame or rear wheel and around a ground anchor or other immovable point, then take up the slack so the chain can't be laid on the ground or braced against a hard surface.
Keep the chain off concrete where possible; a chain resting on the ground gives a thief something solid to strike or lever against.
Leave the protective sleeve in place at all times — it's what stops the links marking paint, rims and exhausts.
Wipe the chain dry after use in rain or near salt air, and apply a light film of protective oil to the links to keep surface corrosion at bay.
Store indoors and out of the weather when not in use; at 12kg this is a static home or garage chain rather than something to carry on the bike.
Inspect the links and sleeve from time to time for cuts, deformation, stretching or wear, and replace the chain if you find damage or evidence of a tampering attempt.
Use it for security only — never as a lifting, towing or recovery chain.
