Why standard motorcycle locks are not enough
Your motorcycle is more than transportation — it's an investment. Yet many riders still rely on a simple disc lock or cable lock. Thieves know exactly how to bypass these in seconds. The RoadLok is different: a patented security system that locks directly onto the brake disc, physically immobilizing the motorcycle.
What is the RoadLok?
The RoadLok is a high-quality motorcycle lock developed by the Dutch company RoadLok BV. The system consists of a steel locking pin that passes through the brake disc and is attached to the front fork or swingarm. This literally prevents the wheel from turning — even if the motorcycle is lifted or towed.
The RoadLok is available in two versions:
- RoadLok Front – attached to the front fork, suitable for most motorcycles
- RoadLok Rear – attached to the swingarm, ideal as a supplement to the front version
How does the RoadLok work?
The principle is simple yet brilliant. The locking pin is inserted through a hole in the brake disc and secured with a high-quality cylinder lock. Because the pin is directly attached to the fork or swingarm, the disc — and thus the wheel — can no longer move. No other disc lock offers this level of mechanical immobilization.
Installation takes less than 30 seconds once you are familiar with the system. The RoadLok comes with a vehicle-specific mounting kit, so the fit is always perfect for your motorcycle.

RoadLok vs. ordinary disc locks
A standard disc lock only blocks the brake disc itself. A thief can lift the motorcycle, force the disc, or simply cut the lock. The RoadLok connects the disc to the fork or swingarm, distributing the force of any attack across the entire structure of the motorcycle. That makes it exponentially stronger.
Which motorcycles is the RoadLok suitable for?
The RoadLok is available for a huge range of brands and models, including BMW, Honda, Yamaha, Kawasaki, Suzuki, Ducati, KTM, Triumph, and many others. You can easily check if a kit is available for your specific motorcycle via the RoadLok website or at an authorized dealer such as Motor Service Stijner.
Combine the RoadLok with other security measures
No lock is 100% theft-proof, but the RoadLok significantly raises the bar for thieves. For optimal security, we recommend combining the RoadLok with:
- A chain lock or ground anchor for long-term parking
- A GPS tracker for real-time location tracking
- An alarm system as an additional deterrent
