Disc locks with alarm, chains, U-locks, stands, ramps and transport trolleys: this section contains everything you need for motorcycle security and handling in the garage. For anti-theft devices, the main criterion is the diameter of the disc lock pin, which must fit through the brake disc hole; for stands, compatibility with the motorcycle make and model is what matters.

How to choose the right garage equipment for your motorcycle

Disc locks: pin diameter and alarm function

The most important factor for a disc lock is the pin diameter: it must fit into the motorcycle's brake disc hole without excessive play. The most common sizes range from 6 mm to 16 mm; models with a larger pin offer greater resistance to cutting. Many Xena and Kryptonite disc locks feature a sound alarm, with Bluetooth versions for smartphone connectivity. Also consider the presence of a reminder cable, which reminds you to remove the lock before riding off.

Chains and U-locks

Anti-theft chains are chosen based on their length (useful for anchoring the motorcycle to a fixed support) and the cross-section of the links, which determines their resistance to cutting. U-locks, such as those in the Kryptonite New York or Evolution range, combine structural rigidity with portability. For a complete system, it is advisable to combine a chain with a U-lock or disc lock.

Paddock stands: mounting type and compatibility

Paddock stands are divided into side and centre stands, and into universal or brand- and model-specific versions. SGR stands for scooters and motorcycles are often direct replacements, so compatibility with the year, engine capacity, and version is crucial. Universal motorcycle stands, such as Up Design models, instead attach to the plate or swingarm and fit multiple motorcycles, with height and width adjustments.

Ramps and trolleys for transport

Ramps are used to load the motorcycle onto vans, vans, or trailers: they are chosen based on their stated load capacity and a width compatible with the tire. Side trolleys such as Acebikes allow you to move the motorcycle in tight spaces by maneuvering from the side. Always check that the load capacity of the trolley or ramp is suitable for the weight of the motorcycle.

Accessories and covers

Neoprene covers for disc locks protect the brake disc from scratches and keep the lock clean during use. They are available in different sizes: choose the size based on the dimensions of the disc lock you own.

Domande frequenti

Come si misura il diametro del perno di un bloccadisco?

Il diametro del perno deve corrispondere alla misura del foro presente sul disco freno della moto. Misura il foro con un calibro prima di acquistare; in genere i fori dei dischi moto variano tra 6 e 16 mm a seconda del costruttore e del modello.

Qual è la differenza tra un bloccadisco con allarme normale e uno Bluetooth?

Il bloccadisco con allarme normale emette un suono quando viene manomesso o spostato. Il modello Bluetooth si collega a un'app sullo smartphone e consente di ricevere notifiche a distanza, anche se ci si trova lontano dalla moto.

Come scelgo il cavalletto giusto per la mia moto?

Per i cavalletti laterali e centrali specifici è necessario conoscere marca, modello, cilindrata e anno di produzione della moto. Per i cavalletti alzamoto universali, verifica invece il tipo di attacco (forcellone, piastra) e le regolazioni disponibili per adattarli alla tua moto.

Posso usare una rampa qualsiasi per caricare la moto su un furgone?

No: la rampa deve avere una portata adeguata al peso della moto e una larghezza compatibile con la sezione del pneumatico anteriore. Verifica sempre questi due parametri prima dell'acquisto per evitare rischi durante il carico.
