Securing the Show: LITELOK x CIRCUS ZYAIR

Securing the Show: LITELOK x CIRCUS ZYAIR

In August 2025, Circus Zyair shared a video depicting the aftermath of a bike theft. Chain locks and the grinder were left on the ground, alongside visible damage to the circus tent.

"Just woke up for our 11am show here in Sheffield at Circus Zyair and all of our motorbikes have been robbed. They used that grinder to open the lock for the globe. Think they had a knife as well. Cut through the tent, and they robbed five bikes from the globe. All five bikes were here last night. Two of them being TTR120 25 Yamaha's and the other three being CRF 125 Honda's." - Zyair, Circus Performer

LITELOK offered to assist Zyair with high-security solutions to protect their recovered and replaced motorbikes, allowing the circus to continue entertaining the public.

LITELOK sent across the Supreme Lock-it-and-Leave-it Bundle and additional Core Motos, enabling them to secure multiple bikes together, while the LITELOK X1 is used for the Globe Of Death. 

After Zyair had a chance to test the locks, we visited the circus during its show in Mumbles, Swansea. Being so close to the office, we couldn’t resist stopping by. We caught up with Zyair to hear his thoughts on the bike theft incident and how LITELOK’s security solutions have made a difference.

"My name's Zyair, I'm a 19 year old globe of death rider with a travelling circus, and we've recently just had our bikes stolen. So, it was a Sunday morning, we had two shows and I get my friend, his name in Emanuel. He bangs my door, like so aggressively. I opened the door and I'm like 'what happened?' I'm like half asleep, and he said 'the bikes have been stolen'. I was like 'no, no way. That's not possible.'

So, I go out to check around the back stage and all I see is a big rip in the tent. Obviously they had a knife. Big rip in the tent. I open it and the door of the globe was open and all the bikes were gone."

"I was devastated. Devastated. Absolutely devastated. It's not just the bikes, not just the machine. It's kind of something sentimental, and is a part of me. It was sad to see that bike gone."

It was great to see communities supporting Zyair Circus in recovering some of the bikes and helping where possible. 

"We found the bikes and we found the people who robbed the bikes. I mean there's reasons obviously why he did it, I'm sure it's a good reason, but, again I wouldn't recommend going that way to solve your problems."

"I mean there's always that worry in the circus because it's an open event as you can see. We are a big family here, so we try to protect our territory as much as we can."

"I want to say a big thank you to you guys, to your amazing company for sponsoring me with these locks, and to keep my bikes safe." 
"It's really practical and I trust the locks, I mean they are really good."
After the challenging bike theft incident they faced, it's been rewarding to help the team enhance their security and protect the motorbikes that power their incredible performances. By equipping them with LITELOK's high security solutions, we've helped ensure their bikes stay safe, allowing the show to go on without worry. We're proud to support such talented and hardworking team who continue to bring joy and entertainment to audiences across the UK.
