OnGuard Mastiff 8020
BikeRide finds and shows you the best prices of the bikes you want to buy. Prices constantly change and it’s impossible to compare them all yourself.
We search for prices on over 120 bike retailers to guarantee that we find the lowest prices – to save you time and money.
It’s a promise we stand behind: If you find a lower price on a bike elsewhere, we will sell it to you for 10% less. For example, if you find a bike for $480 that we have listed at $500, we will offer you to buy it for $432 through BikeRide. The bike must be the same color and size, sold in the US and not include the use of a coupon.
If you find a lower price, email us at [email protected] with documentation of the price. We’re committed to making sure that the cost of a bike does not keep you from cycling!

Bottom line
OnGuard’s Mastiff 8020 is a heavy chain lock with robust, titanium-reinforced links. One tester’s angle grinder ran out of battery before it could cut through them. A number of owners felt that it served as a strong deterrent. Nevertheless, in tests, the lock mechanism could be destroyed in under a minute using basic hand tools. OnGuard does provide an ‘Anti-Theft’ reimbursement program, but conditions are strict and it involves a fee that must be paid by check. In addition, a number of users experienced stuck keys and the disintegration of the lock mechanism. You’re better off with the Mastiff 8019, which uses a padlock.Expert Reviews
