Ever heard of banshees? They're Irish spirits that scream to foreshadow bad things happening - and we hope you never meet one! But we're certain that the last thing a thief wants is to have their crime attempt announced to the whole neighbourhood - and that's exactly what the ABUS Alarmbox will do if they try to steal your bike.

The ABUS Alarmbox is a super-sturdy screaming machine! Weighing only 370g and made of zinc metal, it attaches to your bike frame with metal zip-ties and maintains a low profile. When you lock up your bike, you set the alarm with the press of a button and go about your business. If someone rattles or moves your bike, it will give out short warning beeps. If the bike continues to be messed with and moves continuously, the high-pitched alarm will sound at 100dB (as loud as a chainsaw!) for 15 seconds, after which it will re-set and continue making noise if the bike keeps moving. This makes riding off into the sunset with a stolen bike (and stealing the bike in the first place) much more difficult for would-be thieves.  

The speakers are internal to the box with no way for water to get in, meaning this is a set-it-and-forget-it piece of kit you can use all year long. The included CR2 battery can be replaced when needed and will provide a long life of service before needing a swap.
