In the middle of chains, locks and other U-disk, a “new breed” of locks shared among the linear prop specialized two-wheeler: the To-Clamp. We made the test.

P RESENTED briefly at our file “how to protect your bike against theft?”To-Clamp is at hand. And even if its purpose is common to all the other locks, the way to do this is significantly different.

With a footprint close to the disk-block, it offers superior protection to them without being able to compete with the chains to be moored to a fixed point.

Direct competitor of the essential disc lock, the To-Clamp offers an identical scope (no defense against boarding a van) and a solution just as certainly, however ephemeral, but more of a deterrent.

Indeed, to allow the thief to roll the machine thus equipped, he will remove the wheel and the crown, significantly increasing the time of the package (our goal at all) … so the chances of finding your machine where you the have left!

The great strength of this type of theft is its ease of use.

Nothing is easier to hinder your chain and your crown (this system is not suitable for bikes with cardan), because after putting the clamp around them by spreading the jaws of the lock, you do remains to slide in the grooves the part equipped with the lock and which will prevent their separation.

And to increase still further the practical side of things the manufacturer has thought of putting on one of three keys red light, facilitating manipulations at night or in poorly lit areas.

Last little subtlety, a reminder will be placed on the contact from your motorcycle away with avoiding secondary transmission constrained. Made of plastic, this anti-forgetfulness is altogether a good idea but we regret finesse to the base, raising the possibility of breakage in your Neman (and there … it is not in the m …).

The storage will be just as easily because of its small size (LxWxD 95 x 83 x 41 mm verified) that will allow it to find its place under your saddle or default on your machine, delivered via the bag when purchase.

Serious, it is meant adjustable with an adjustable strap for a transplant easier. Attention simply that it does not wobbling too, can damage your body dynamics.

Like any other system used to prevent against theft it is necessary to see if it is compatible with your machine which is not necessarily the case, even if it will be with the vast majority of them.

Classified SRA (device used to reference insurance established by the Security and Auto Repair Association), the To-Clamp and 1271 grams (audited) offers a pleasant sense of security involving the rider confidence. You will also appreciate its maintenance simple and easy that will be limited to lubrication of the lock and clamp mechanism from time to time and a rub on the inside to remove the grease residue left by the chain. In this regard note that they are less present than one might think…

IN SUMMARY

While heavier than a system disc lock (921 grams Abus Granit checked for a Quick classified as SRA), the burglar distributed by Tecno Globe takes its role seriously. Well finished, with a life that gives confidence in the future he can count on ease of use and maintenance that will appeal to those who do not want to dirty their hands (or gloves) or take the lead in daily.

It will be seduced by its neat, its system of obstruction safer than a disc lock (without the benefit of a string) and its ranking SRA reassuring that you will get compensation in case of theft (depending on your insurance and contract conditions). Rich with a bunch of three keys (one with a red LED) and a carrying case if the dimensions are too big for your topcase, the To-Clamp that is more attractive for a price that has able to remain content … Recommend!

How to be sure to find your bike where you left off? While it is totally impossible to be sure, here are some tips to a maximum of luck on your side.

While it is unrealistic to think that your motorcycle is safe from theft, you can still follow some simple rules to try to deter the thief to attack your bike making his crime the most difficult and needy can.

We recorded between November 2010 and November 2011 just over 500 complaints daily (for flight machine or accessory) and 69,655 motorcycles stolen (8 flights per hour), its serious flipper race, especially as the number of flights has decreased by more than 5% in 5 years! The prize goes to the Ile de France (with ¼ flights), followed by the PACA region (19%).

Of course some vehicles are more likely to be stolen because of fashion but do not be so far away if you ride a grandma that can attract all kinds of greed on the part of parts, not always easy to find any time.

Can be placed on order, some bikes are simply sought or hunted as some being sold from the offense made!

MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICE

Without going overboard by building towers and electrified fences decorated with some wolf traps smeared with curare around your beautiful (although sometimes we dying), choice of an anti-theft increases your chances.

Prefer chains and U meets the standards SRA, NF FFMC and not necessarily more expensive than non-certified but at least have been tested for durability and resistance to forced entry.

Validated by the various insurance groups, they will also meet their requirements and then make you pay in case of theft … at least if you have taken this close…

Nothing prevents you CUMULATION

Clearly, more hassle for the thief is more likely you are to prevent theft … so why not combine the protections with various mechanical systems (string U +, U + disc lock, chain + disc lock etc. ), or a mechanism associated with an electronic such as alarm. Here are promoting yet registered for the same reasons as above.

Often required by insurance, burning (serial number tattooed on the tube forks, swing arm, pot, frame, crankcase, engine, wheels, tank, fairing) will not increase the resistance to the assaults of time burglars but will make it more difficult to resell a block or so of spare parts puzzle … well if it is recovered after a theft, police quickly find the owner of two-wheelers (national census file accessible to both men in blue as by insurance ).

Before a purchase, so remember to check with the agency that the burning vehicle is not stolen…

Obviously it is better not leave the keys in the ignition while you trim a chat with your, friends even engine off … it goes without saying but we recommend in addition to the key or padlock on your a bunch of different ignition key. You never know if you lose or forget your keys!

Prefer a small key ring or only one ring, making it more difficult for pickpocket’s margin of more and more.

Finally store your keys in your pocket and do not leave on the table in the boozer … they may disappear (like your laptop) just after a visit to a pseudo-tourist armed with a plan to find his way…
