Review on ๐Ÿ”’ Kryptonite KryptoLok Series 2 Heavy Duty Bicycle U Lock with 4ft Flex Bike Cable - Superior SEO-optimized Product Title by Tim Larsen

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Serves a primary purpose, but not one that can be relied upon.

Well, first off, I got my Trek stolen from an apartment building garage using the "Original" version of this lock. I hung it on a wall post all night and made the mistake that the U-lock only went through the frame and rear wheel and the cable connected to the front wheel, post and U-lock. The thief basically spent 15 minutes cutting the cable and then simply wheeling the bike out of the garage, front wheel and rear wheel up (all the fun was caught on the security camera)! At the same time it is difficult. to give this lock a very loud endorsement but I will say that from a functional point of view it worked as expected. I simply wouldn't recommend this set for more than a daily deterrent. This is more than a gimmick for blocking in normal traffic areas during the day as no one will take the time to cut through it with people around, but to my knowledge it doesn't offer exceptional security for your bike even if left unattended . everyone. more than 15-20 minutes. Some additional advantages are the low weight and the low-profile mount. UPDATE: I switched to a Kryptonite NY Heavy Duty and Sigtuna 16mm U-lock/cable combo for my new bike.

Pros
  • Includes the NEW TRANSIT FLEXFRAME-U carrying system for versatile transport.
Cons
  • Fits
