Security at home
- 08/07/2016
Great chain for home use. Feels indestructible but isn't terribly portable. I use it to secure a valuable Ifor Williams trailor through a massive ground anchor and it feels totally secure. Pairs well with an Abloy 350 or 362. Great service from pragmasis.
Bigger than i thought!!

I purchased this chain 16mm 2m rather than the 19mm chain thinking as well as using it to secure my bike whilst in the garage, i could take it with me to secure it whilst out and about...Wrong! This chain is HUGE! and heavy, too heavy i would say to cart it about on the bike. This chain makes the OXFORD and GRANIT chains look very feeble. I am using a KASP 19070X and Abloy 362 which i think are a good match with this chain. I should also mention customer service was first class.
Great Product and Customer service

great quality product, very secure and perfect for what I needed.
Extremely fast delivery, as they had plenty in stock we got it next day before 12pm.

Would be happy to order again if I need more chains!
A security heavy-weight. Literally.
- 21/10/2016
Before the Protector I was limply draping an Oxford Monster through my front wheel and securing it with another Oxford Boss Alarm disc lock. To be fair to Oxford, I like the disc lock and still use it as one of two disc locks - the other being an ABUS Granit Sledg 77 - alongside the Protector for home use.

I went for the 2.0m chain and after a lot of fiddling and experimenting with how to make use of all of it, it's the perfect fit for the MT-07; slotting one end through the hole in the swing-arm from the outside, and then wrapping the rest of it in a figure 8 around and over the saddle, and finally back down and through the back wheel, it meets the links threaded through the swing-arm almost precisely. Took a while to perfect, there's only a few centimetres of play to fit the Squire lock, but then there's zero play in the chain either.

It weighs a fair amount, but that's most certainly a positive rather than a negative. How can you objectively rate a security product? It's either a 5 star, as in you've still got your bike, or you don't and it's a 1 star! It gives me greater peace of mind, and my ride does get stolen then I'll have to tip my hat to the thieving miscreant; they must have REALLY wanted it.
Again perfect
- 26/10/2016
Perfect for stationary purposes. I use the noose chain which locks the entire bike. A bit bulky but the chain of choise whenever I have to lock my bike for a longer period. Can only be cut by a plasma cuter or similar devises.
Great service and products

I've had a 13mm chain and Torc anchor for years for my mountain bikes. Just bought a motorbike, so thought I'd upgrade to a 16mm. Stupidly didn't check to see if the lock would fit. Didn't even have to think about where to go for one, so that's on order now. Great service, quick delivery, great comms.
Sturdy - Highly recommended
- 19/09/2021
Purchased this chain in 1.5m with a round lock and a mega torc anchor to lock my Vespa PX around the footwell at home with a tracker alarm and a cover - should deter any theif, if not I don't think they'll get very far!
Awesome 16mm Chain plus Roundlock
- 28/01/2021
A big thank you to David for being really helpful sorting out a 3m length of this awesome chain. Knowing the chain can't be bolt cropped is really reassuring. Combined with the very clever Roundlock it looks like it would defeat the majority of crims. This combo makes my previous security look pathetic in comparison. Super fast delivery to. Very happy and no longer anxious. Cheers David.
The Perfect Solution ...
- 06/05/2020
Like many motorcycle owners, I was looking for better security when travelling. I wanted to use one of Pragmasis chains but weight of the chain and lock in my top box is a big issue. After many emails, David Briggs help me arrive at the perfect solution for my situation. A short length of Protector 16mm chain, anti-pitch pin and Squire lock provided a secure deterrent through my bike frame and rear wheel. I can't tell you how helpful David has been during this process. I now have the perfect solution, weighing less than 5kg for my top box. Pragmasis service and products are second to none. Having eventually reached the perfect solution, David had the equipment on my door step by the following day. Great service & fantastics products.
Quality product

This is the type of chain bound to discourage motorbike thieves; from the moment you pick it up you realise how solid and sturdy it is!
Anaconda
- 28/03/2017
This thing is an f-ing anaconda! Frankly, the weak link in my bike's security is now the bike itself. This chain is huge and heavy and definitely not for riding around. The Squire padlock is very robust and indistructable as far as I can see. I use it when parking my bike at night. If someone wants to steal my bike now, they are going to have to work for it and wake the neighbors and me. High quality products. David and his team were great at getting my chain delivered to France. Highly resommend this chain, the Squire lock and this company.
Best quality ever!
- 31/03/2017
I just recently purchased my first 16mm 1.2-m long protector chain. After some research online on both Almax and Pragmasis, the better customer service of the latter made the choice a very obvious one for me. I could not have been more satisfied with the decision. The security chain is extremely impressive in both quality and toughness, and the customer service of this company is just stellar.

For many years, I’ve used various Abus security chains, which are also very good quality. One of which is the Abus 14KS with RK 37/80 padlock (probably their strongest security chain). Comparing that to the Pragmasis, I can say that the quality control of the protector chain is even better. The welding is considerably more smooth and uniform and the round links are virtually undistorted whereas the square Abus links are a bit thinner at the curves (reduced to 13-13.5 mm), which could potentially compromise the security of the chain.

Another important point is that the Abus one uses short-links while Pragmasis has very long ones. As a result, the 14mm Abus chain is actually about 1 kg heavier than the thicker 16mm Pragmasis chain! So, you’re getting better protection at a lower weight and price with Pragmasis. To me, the optimal choice could not be more obvious. I highly recommend Pragmasis to anyone looking for a quality product and will look nowhere else myself for future security needs.
Awesome Chain
- 01/04/2017
This 2 metre chain combined with the Anti-Pinch Pin, Squire SS65CS lock and Torc Anchor now secures two BMW motorcycles. The chain goes through the welded frame of the older one and the other bike is secured by the anti-pinch pin. It is not a chain to take with you when riding out though as it weighs an enormous 9 kg.
Perfect!

I live in a rented flat and have to park my V Strom on a tarmac area which is hidden from view. A ground anchor is not practical due to weak tarmac, but there is a very solid tree next to the bike. My solution was to loop your 16mm chain around the tree, well off the ground, and then lock it to the fork stanchions with a Kryptonite ML18 U lock. I hope that this will deter all but the most determined thieves, but if anything does happen it’s all sold secure gold so the insurance should cover it.

The 16mm chain (3m) is an absolute masterpiece and, whilst being huge, is still manageable and easy to use. Moreover, I’m reassured by your stellar reputation in the biking community and by the many tests that appear on YouTube. It’s amazing to think that you do two chains that are even tougher than this one, but for high value bikes they look like a sound investment.

Thanks for a great product with service to match!
Beast of a Chain !
- 15/06/2017
I look after a country estate that was recently burgled. I have no doubt the combination of 5 metres of 16mm chain and Squire locks threaded through the equipment handles etc will make their quest very difficult in the future....along with the other security "upgrades". I found the company staff extremely helpful and knowledgeable.
Protector 16mm Chain and Squire SS65C Lock
- 06/08/2017
Having spent a lot of time researching chains I came across the Protector range from Pragmsis. I then emailed David at Pragmasis to ask for his advice. It was evident that he had a wealth of experience in motorcycle security and I decided to to order the 16mm Protector chain and Squire SS65CS padlock. The deciding factor when purchasing the 16mm chain was that it needed to be heavy duty enough to withstand an attack with a bolt cutter. Once placing the order, I received the products within the working week! Overall the service was excellent and I would highly recommend this product! Lewis
Ultimate client service
- 16/08/2017
David is upfront and dedicated person. ALthough busy found a time to listen to my bad english and walk through options to secure my moto.
Very helpful. Very fast.
Bought a meter. Did not find it heavy but still do not want to be in a thief's skin when I hit him with it. Thanks everybody in Pragmasis! Now I can (sweet)dream again that the world is nice.
Thank You
- 23/08/2017
After having difficulty with the other security chain supplier and being arrogantly let down, I was in a panic and contacted David here at Pragmasis who went out of his way to help, he sent the chains out immediately and I had them the next day! Excellent quality product and very helpful service. Many thanks.
Excellent

Great product quality. Noose option works well for me.
Heavy duty indeed
- 06/09/2021
This chain is heavy. As such it really inspired confidence and is ideal for "at home" use. Really too heavy for mobile use with a pedal cycle. But at home it provides excellent protection. Recommended.

I bought my first new Vespa and didn't know anything about super secure locks. Called Pragmasis as advised by a friend and spoke to a very knowledgeable sales person sorry didn't get your name. Ordered the anchor and chain/lock deal which arrived super fast even taken into consideration the lockdown.
THANK YOU!
Best of luck to your business.
Great chain - big, heavy & strong
- 12/05/2018
Bought it due to all the positive "theft attack" reviews which it has. Received it yesterday and it seems really solid and well made. Works perfectly. Hopefully it´ll last me for long. Recommend 100%.
solid and heavy
- 15/05/2018
bought the chain with large loop works great to add extra length and was impressed with the size and quality great service and helpful also.
Very Secure Chain
- 20/05/2018
Bought the 1.2m chain to secure my mountain bike and also bought the double doofer ground anchor. The chain by itself feels incredibly secure although I hadn't appreciated just how thick 16mm really is! I'd recommend 1.2m as a minimum for this thickness of chain to allow it to wrap around the frame and through the fork crown. Twinned with the doofer this feels really secure and the service has been excellent. Cannot recommend highly enough.
Perfect
- 20/07/2018
Simply the best chain on the market.
brilliant Service, Thank you!
Top chain, top service
- 28/07/2018
This is a proper beefy chain and paired with a beefy bridge anchor it's done a good job so far of deterring the local miscreants.

Quality fast service from the guys at Pragmasis as well.
Spectacular service
- 08/08/2018
Can't comment on the chain really, because to me looks super sturdy and first class stuff but I'm no expert. Had it paired with RoundLock.

What I'd like to stress however is the excellent support and detailed explanations David and Steve have given me to clear out doubt and concerns about both the products.
Can't recommend Pragmasis & the Team enough! Next on the shopping list will possibly be ground anchor.

Thanks a lot
Claudio
Great Chain
- 25/10/2018
Bough one for my bike after having another bike stolen.

So pleased with the product and service that I've bought one for my flatmates bike too.

Will be locked together with a slightly smaller Pragmasis chain (13mm). To hopefully make it really unattractive to pinch...
Proper heavy metal!
- 02/03/2019
I've got a few locks and chains after a lifetime biking but I thought "new bike=new chain". This makes all my other heavy duty chains look like toys. This is one big old lump of metal and I assume would put off anyone but the most intent low life.
Combined with an anti pinch pin, a torc anchor and the big squire padlock, I'm hoping that the deterrent is enough for them to go and find easier pickings.
Good value
- 09/06/2023
I have bought 3 of these of varying lengths. Never had any issues and work very well with the roundlock which I absolutely love.
