Founded in 1973 as a manufacturer of motorcycle top cases, Oxford has become more and more specialized in motorcycle safety since its early days as a manufacturer of motorcycle safety equipment and active sponsorship of motorcycle teams such as BMW and Kawasaki. The company's U-locks are primarily aimed at motorcycle users, so they don't tailor the Mini range for bicycles like other brands.
 
From the perspective of safety performance alone, Oxford's U-shaped locks are undoubtedly very good. In both Sold Secure and ART reviews, Oxford performed well and was ranked as the highest security rating. However, if size considerations are added, the relatively wide lock body makes the bicycle user leave more space for the thief to insert the theft tool after locking, and at the same time affects the portability to a certain extent. Of course, the wide U-shaped lock design also makes it more applicable.
 
In terms of supporting services, Oxford is not perfect, and it does not have branches and sales points with distribution rights in China, so domestic users can enjoy even fewer related services. The OXFORD Shackle 14 is priced at around $60 and the Shackle 14 Duo with a hook and loop lock is priced at $70, depending on your needs and budget.
