Independent Test Winner

The choice was between this and kryptonite. ABUS beats kryptonite in strength test (YouTube search). a requirement that makes it almost useless. A) You must return the broken/damaged lock. B) You must take a photo of the locked bike on the same day. If your bike is stolen, chances are the thief won't leave it in the lock. Then you must remember to take a recent photo every day when you lock your bike. Based on this and the general feedback from the reports, I decided to simply use the stronger…

Pros
  • Excellent Construction
Cons
  • Not Bad

The best bike lock with the best features

I chose this bike lock because it has many advantages (more info below). I wanted something better to protect my bike when I go shopping or to restaurants. I ride my bike exclusively, so I have to store my bike outside and outside. This lock gives me peace of mind that no one will take my bike while I'm away. The lock works very smoothly and I have never had any problems with the key. The coating protects the paintwork of my bike excellently (no scratches!). It's quite heavy, but it's made of…

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Big and chunky

Expensive but what a cool lock. The key goes in and turns like clockwork (important for me after replacing two cheaper U-locks, after two years the keys could finally no longer be turned due to sticking). I've had this lock in Seattle weather for a year, drive non-stop at least five days a week (all seasons) and the lock appears to be weatherproof. It's heavy, weighing about 3-1/4 pounds. for the 9" and 3-3/4 lbs for the longer 11" model (I have both). But if you're 250 pounds and running steel

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • A little loose change

Great lock - bad buying experience.

I don't know what's up with Revane these days, QC in the toilet. Apparently 30% or more of my purchases have to be returned because they are either underused, damaged or just plain poor quality. I received this lock and it was clearly used and badly damaged. I returned it immediately, of course, and ended up buying one (a bit more expensive for full retail, about $75 extra) at a local bike shop that stocked the Abus, but I had to order this model. I could probably order again and hoped it would

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Empty

I'm editing my review after contacting DealExperts about the issue. As you can read in my original post I had some issues with this lock which was very confusing as Abus is a premium brand and one of the best locks out there. After my beloved Peaches bike was stolen in downtown Los Angeles, I couldn't take another loss. I'm a full-time student with 3 jobs; My friends kindly offered a new bike, but I had to pick the lock. After 2 months of struggling with the lock and putting my work/study…

Pros
  • Best in class
Cons
  • I'll add later
