Oxford HardcoreXC13 Chain 13mm Sq X 1.2m

The Oxford HardcoreXC13 is a heavy-duty chain and padlock set built for securing motorcycles and scooters at home, at work or on the street. It pairs a 1.2m length of 13mm square-link hardened Ni-Cro-Mo chain with a hardened steel padlock using an 11mm concealed shackle, and a fabric sleeve over the chain to help keep paintwork and rims unmarked.

It is aimed at riders who want a recognised high-security lock rather than a deterrent-only chain. The HardcoreXC13 carries Sold Secure Motorcycle Gold approval and an ART 4-star rating, and is accredited Secured by Design under the Police Preferred Specification.

At 1.2m, the chain is long enough to pass through a wheel or frame and around a ground anchor or fixed object, while remaining manageable to store.

Pass the chain through the frame or a wheel and around a ground anchor or other immovable object, then lock it — a chain looped only around the bike offers far less protection.
Keep the chain and padlock off the ground where practical; a lock resting on concrete gives an attacker a solid surface to strike against.
Seat the padlock shackle fully into the chain links and check the lock has engaged by pulling on it before you walk away.
Close the sliding key dust cover whenever the lock is left outdoors so grit and water stay out of the barrel.
After rain, road salt or coastal use, rinse the chain and lock with fresh water and dry them before storing.
Lubricate the lock barrel and shackle periodically with a light lock-suitable lubricant; wipe away any excess so it does not attract grit.
Keep the fabric sleeve in place over the chain to protect paintwork, wheels and exhausts, and wash it if it becomes grit-laden.
Store spare keys somewhere safe and separate from the bike, and note the key number in case you need replacements.
Inspect the chain links, sleeve and lock body regularly for damage, corrosion or signs of attack, and replace the lock if any part is compromised.
Do not use the chain for towing, lifting or recovery, and remove it before riding off.
