Smart solutions for the bicycle of tomorrow
AXA Bike security
Safe bicycle accessories
npk design and AXA Bike Security have been working together for many years creating a successful range of unique bicycle accessories. After developing AXA Victory ring locks, AXA Foldable locks and the AXA Fit compact chain guard, we are now the design partner for the AXA Absolute and Resolute cable and chain lock series.
From a series of individual locks to one product family
Our designers have designed the entire AXA Absolute and Resolute cable and chain lock range. Carefully selected design elements transform the individual locks into one product family with a clear AXA identity. We always start with creative sketching sessions where we explore a huge number of directions. This results in a complete wall full of ideas and sketches from which we select the most suitable directions. We develop these further digitally, ready for presentation to our client. Together with the client we then select the final concept after which the final design is developed.
With the AXA Victory, the ring lock has been reinvented
All the parts in this lock have been greatly improved and it is the only ring lock on which the steel housing is welded all around. This is how AXA defines the highest standards in safety. Moreover, thanks to the modern aerodynamic design the ring lock fits perfectly on every bicycle. The plastic parts are available in different colours and textures so that the AXA Victory exactly matches the colour schemes of different bicycles.
AXA Foldable series is unique in its class
AXA has instigated a new trend: foldable locks are becoming more and more popular among bicycle owners, particularly the owners of modern bicycles with stylishly designed frames. But with foldable locks, the mobility of the segments is often restricted. Chain locks are the handiest way of attaching your bicycle to an immovable object but they are difficult to store and transport without damaging your bicycle.
AXA Fit is a perfect fit for all kinds of bike types
For users this is a neat, compact chain guard. For the AXA Fit, we designed different colour combinations and materials that match perfectly with all kinds of bike types. However, the real innovations are technical and inside. A clever patented solution for attaching the chain guard to the crank saves a lot of assembly time. Together with a new adjusting mechanism that works in 3 directions, AXA Fit will ‘fit’ on many various bicycle frames.
