AXA Stenman - Defender RL bicycle lock
Prompted by industry demand for better design and security, Stenman Holland decided to develop a new generation of bicycle lock. The resulting Defender ring lock is part of the Defense line, a system in which multiple locks are operated using a single key.
Suitable for everything from a child’s first bike to the best racing model, this modern security device features a modular plastic housing. That means that it can be supplied in variety of colour combinations, thus perfectly meeting the needs of the bicycle industry. It also complies with the stringent certification criteria imposed by ART, the Dutch national organisation for the prevention of bicycle theft.
Supervised by a WeLL Design project leader, our designers and the Stenman team together turned the original Defender concept into a highly successful end product. Over a million units a year are now rolling off fully automated production lines in the Netherlands.
Awards: IF award, FietsRAI Innovation Award, Dutch Design Selection, Volvo Sports Design Award (nomination).
