ABUS 8000 Detecto
versus Xena Locks
With a wide range
of Alarmed locks and constant innovation, Xena is and
remains the world leader in Alarmed Motorcycle Disc
locks, Bullett Alarm Padlocks, U-locks, trailer locks
and Zone Alarm security.
However, a new player has arrived with the new
ABUS 8000 Detecto. It is a fantastic and massively (it holds a middle
between the XN15 and XN18 Xena) strong lock made to usual ABUS
Germany high standards. At
$149.95 it also is priced higher than XN15 but
substantially lower than XN18.
After reviewing
the new ABUS 8000 Detecto lock, here's LockItt.com's
comparison1
between
ABUS and Xena:
ABUS 8000
Detecto features a strong all stainless massive lock size, ABUS X-Plus key system with
manual cover, a very long reach (will fit more brake
discs), alarm unit located on inside of lock and
use of standard AAA batteries.
On the down side we notice a 3.5Lbs weight, mechanical activation
versus LED sensors on Xena, lower sensitivity and at 100 Decibels
a much less noisy alarm (Xena is 110 Decibels).
Depending on personal preference, the last 2 are
perceived by many people as a plus.
