Extra UK and Cyclex Announces Distribution Deal with Black X

Extra UK has announced an exclusive distribution agreement with BLACK X for their range of Smart Bike Locks for the UK and Ireland (via their Irish subsidiary Cyclex).

According to Extra UK, the sister company to OnGuard, operating under the wider Magnum security family, is one of the world’s most trusted names in security solutions, adding that BLACK X combines decades of engineering expertise with cutting-edge innovation, allowing them to deliver advanced smart-locking technology backed by a legacy of reliability and reputation for high-performance security. 

We are extremely proud to partner with Extra UK and Cyclex for the UK and Ireland. Their deep understanding of the cycling market, combined with a strong premium brand portfolio, makes them the ideal partner to introduce BLACK X to retailers who demand innovation, quality, and true differentiation. Our ambition is not simply to launch a single product, but to build a new category of intelligent, high-performance bike security. 

The BLACK X range has been engineered as a complete smart security ecosystem, combining digital convenience with uncompromising physical protection. Titan RockSolid leads the range as the world’s first angle grinder-resistant smart lock, setting a new benchmark in the market. It sits within a broader platform designed to give retailers depth, margin opportunity, and long-term growth potential. Together with Extra UK, we are confident we can redefine what cyclists expect from modern security – Marc Sneath, Global Brand Director for BLACK X & OnGuard

Redefining Security in Every Aspect

BLACK X was born from a powerful vision to redefine the concept of security – not merely as a means of protection but as a comprehensive ecosystem seamlessly integrated into daily life. The goal was ambitious and clear: to empower individuals worldwide to safeguard what matters most, providing not just security, but peace of mind and freedom.

Engineering Excellence

With unwavering determination and passion, the dedicated engineers and designers at Black X have crafted some of the most advanced smart security technologies available today. Pushing the boundaries of what’s possible is part of their daily routine. Their commitment to excellence has driven them to develop a range of products that are not only innovative but also intuitive to use, ensuring smart security is accessible to everyone. 

The range includes the Titan RockSolid Smart Lock at £269.99 SRP. This is the first smart lock on the market with built-in angle grinder resistance, setting a new standard in bike protection. Featuring a reinforced 15mm hardened steel shackle with RockSolid™ angle grinder-resistant coating and the patented Smart Locking Mechanism, it offers high security that stands up to cutting, jacking, prying, and even portable angle grinders. With advanced smart technology for keyless access, cyclists can lock and unlock their bikes using secure digital encryption via the smartphone app. The app also delivers real-time access, keeping users informed and their bike secure, offering peace of mind and revolutionising bike security. 

Mark Greshon, Head of Brands at Extra UK, comments; ‘Bike locks needs to be stronger than ever to match the determination of modern thieves but that doesn’t mean they can’t be smarter, more convenient and easier to  use. BLACK X leads the way in both smart security technology and uncompromising strength with Sold Secure pedal cycle Gold and powered cycle Diamond ratings. We’re looking forward to showing the complete range of BLACK X bike locks at COREbike.
