Almax is a family run business, operated by experienced bikers Alex and Maxine Simpson  – hence Almax! We take security of our bikes very seriously. Adrian Flux (Bikesure) have contracted us to give security advice to their policy holders. Ebike give substantial discounts for the use of our lock and chain, with an appropriate ground anchor. We have carried out extensive research into the way thieves attack security products and feel that our lock chain combos gives you the MAXIMUM SECURITY for your bike.

The Immobiliser Series Chains were created simply because after buying my new motorbike I wanted to keep it! With over 50,000 motorcycles reported as stolen last year, that's 1 every 10 minutes I knew it wasn't going to be that easy to find a security chain that would keep my motorbike safe. With over 75% of motorcycles stolen from the owners’ home address I thought that what was needed was a chain to address this problem specifically. I spent many hours trawling the net and specialist bike shops for a suitable chain and found nothing.

I came to the conclusion that all the manufacturers have compromised the strength of their chains to make them light weight. This will result in a chain that's only Bolt Crop Resistant, I wanted a chain which was not just resistant but that could NOT be bolt cropped. Thieves like to use quiet attacks and the bolt crop attack is, as you can see on our videos, not only quiet but in most cases extremely quick - check out our Wall of Shame to see just how quick! A lighter chain may deter the opportunist thief but does you no favours when you are tucked up in bed and the chain is under attack in your own back yard. The thief can crop your chain and load your pride and joy into the back of a stolen transit van!

So I decided that the only way to get the strongest and the best was to manufacture it myself and so the Almax Immobiliser Series II chain was launched.

When it came to choosing the right padlocks, we decided early on to use the best available. In the real world of high security you will not find the locks usually reserved for the bike market.The reason is simple, they are mass produced, cheap and unfit for high security applications such as containers, security shutters and secure military garages. We decided to use solid steel padlocks that are already used for high security applications, they have already been tested in the real world and not found wanting.

We entered the combination of Series II immobiliser chain and high security padlock into the RiDE Magazine lock chain combo test in issue 103; WE WON, hands down, scoring 15 out of 15. They said “It’s the toughest chain tested here by far”

Since then we have improved the Immobiliser Series and have launched the Series III and the 19mm Series IV Uber chain. Our devlopment programme for Almax Security Chains continues to ensure we can continue to bring you the TOUGHEST SECURITY CHAIN available on the market..
