There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
For the sake of comparison, my previous bike lock was a cheap plastic-coated cable with a key lock. While the length and flexibility was nice, it seemed too thin and flimsy, and I was frequently told that bicycle thieves could cut it with ease. Additionally, the locking mechanism frequently malfunctioned, making it difficult to unlock it. By contrast, every part of the Kryptonite U-lock is thicker and more robust. It simply looks and feels far more secure than the previous lock. The locking mechanism itself is also far superior. There is a sliding cover to protect the keyhole from the elements, an excellent feature for rainy Corvallis, OR. I have yet to notice any malfunctions or sticking points when unlocking it.
My one minor complaint is that the entire U-shaped portion of the lock completely separates from its base whenever I unlock it. I understand that this ultimately makes it easier to put the lock on more parts of my bike or cover larger distances, but I rarely actually need the lock to completely separate; it would be just fine if it functioned like a normal padlock, with one side of the U-shape pivoting when unlocked. However, this is a minor quibble, and I just have to make sure that I’m holding both parts of the lock before I turn the key all the way.
Anyway, the inclusion of a couple useful accessories outweighs the small “separation” drawback. The sturdy steel cable can be used in conjunction with the U-lock, which is handy to secure both of your wheels if your bike is going to be left unattended for a long time. There is also a small device that attaches to your bike frame, allowing you to easily holster the U-lock when you’re bicycling.
Overall, this Kryptonite U-lock has done its job, and that’s all I can ask for. My bike hasn’t been stolen, and the lock is a huge upgrade over my last one. Finally, although I could have knocked off a star over the annoying issue of the lock separating, there are two useful accessories that easily outweigh the slight inconvenience. 5/5 stars.
The only area of contention with this package is the much-discussed flex bracket. For me it has worked out perfectly, but I hated it at first. As others have mentioned, the bracket is quite large so it sits out a long way from the frame. In addition, the way the lock slides in and out of the bracket requires quite a lot of extra space. For these reasons, I couldn't place it in the central triangle of the bike as I normally would, for fear of bashing the frame when taking the lock in and out of the bracket. However, there is a fair amount of flexibility in the way your lock is pointing when sat in the bracket, which allows for a lot of experimentation in where to put it. I tried A LOT of different placements and most of them just didn't look good and/or caused the lock to rub on my legs when pedaling. I was just about to give up when I found a position which works well on my bike. I've had no problems with the bracket slipping at all, and am very happy with the purchase. For this reason I give it 5 stars, but I can imagine how others with different models of bike would not have similar luck, and would be very frustrated and disappointed.
For information: I have a Trek 7.2fx, and the position I found was at the front end of the cross bar, in front of the break cable (just before it threads out of the tube). The bracket is mounted on the right side of the cross bar (bracket pointing horizontal), with the lock pointing diagonally back and down towards the pedals. Due to the triangular shape of the cross bar here, the bracket sits well against it and doesn't slip. And due to the shape and balance of the lock, the way it is angled is how it would naturally dangle if you balanced it on your hand. This means that the bracket is not trying to fight to keep the lock upright, and therefore adding to the stability.
It's not where I would normally mount a lock, but I now like the way it looks, and it feels very stable. I also didn't need to trim the strap for it to fit here.

重くてそれなりの大きさですが、それは最初から分かっていた事なので問題無しです。
リュックに入れて走ってるのですが、重量で肩と背中にきますw
premetto che è un ottimo deterrente a prescindere, rispetto ad una qualsiasi catena o lucchetto a combinazione dà una sensazione di sicurezza e solidità che non tutti i lucchetti offrono, ma si sa, con un po' di tempo e i giusti attrezzi nessun lucchetto è infallibile.
Ma veniamo al sodo. Ho lasciato la bici in strada legata ad un palo per tutta la notte, purtroppo non avevo modo di metterla in un luogo più sicuro. Il mattino dopo, riprendendola, ho chiaramente notato il TENTATO e NON RIUSCITO furto. Ho sempre legato la bici sia con il lucchetto a U che con il cavo, prendendo palo, telaio e ruota posteiore con il tubo a U e facendo il giro della ruota anteriore e del telaio con il cavo.
L'unica cosa che son riusciti a fare è stato tagliare il cavo. Poco male, con 13€ l'ho ricomprato nuovo dal ciclista, ma avevo ancora la mia bici legata saldamene al palo.
Nonostante i tentativi fatti dai ladri ha resistito egregiamente. L'ho riaperto con la chiave senza il minimo sforzo e ho controllato che il meccanismo funzionasse ancora bene e che non ci fossero danni: era come nuovo, solo qualche graffio e il pezzo di plastica nero che ricopre il nottolino aveva evidenti segni di martellate e adesso gira di 360° invece che di soli 90°.
Il lucchetto ha funzionato talmente bene che i disgraziati che hanno tentato i rubarmi la bici hanno perfino provato a bucare il marciapiede per sflare il palo a cui era legata (dei GENI, come se non avesse un basamento e fosse infilato come uno stuzzicadenti in un tramezzino, ma ovviamente da gente simile non mi aspetto un QI particolarmente più eleato di quello di un sasso) per portarsela via.
L'unica cosa che sono riusciti ad ottenere è essere responsabili di un danno ad un bene comune per tentare di rubare una bici che vale poche decine di euro.
Per la mia esperienza questo lucchetto è davvero stra consigliato. Kryptonite è una sicurezza.
Le produit est lourd et encombrant mais inspire confiance. Aucun problème de fermeture ou ouverture comme j'ai pu le lire sur différents avis : il suffit de bien enfoncer la clé à fond. Je le transporte dans mon sac à dos car la fixation fournie ne m'inspire pas confiance et, critère plus personnel, je trouve que ce n'est pas très esthétique (si c'est pour usage purement utilitaire type velotaf, ce n'est pas un critère bien important, je vous l'accorde).
N'étant pas habitué à utiliser les antivols U, il faut parfois batailler un peu pour trouver le meilleur positionnement de l'antivol et du vélo pour pouvoir sécuriser à la fois la roue arrière, le cadre et la roue avant mais jusqu'à maintenant j'y suis toujours arrivé.
Je pense que c'est un produit sérieux à un budget maîtrisé, qui aura un rôle très dissuasif et protègera votre vélo contre les voleurs non équipés d'outillage lourd. Kryptonite évalue la sécurité de cet antivol à 6/10. Sold secure le classe "silver" ce qui est tout à fait respectable.
Néanmoins, pour les stationnements de longue durée dans des endroits à risque ou pour des vélos de grande valeur, je conseillerais de le doubler ou de partir sur quelque chose de plus imposant encore, histoire de ralentir au maximum les potentiels voleurs qui, s'ils sont dotés d'équipements adaptés, arriveront malheureusement toujours à leur fin.
The bracket is included, which isnt exactly stated on the description but in other reviews and questions/answers you will see tha it is included, but would have been nice to see that on the description.
Instructions and equipment all intact and easy to assemble the bracket onto the bike, after a few attempts. But there is plenty of youtube videos to help you.
This purchase gives you Anti-Theft cover from Kryptonite. All you have to do is register the purchase on the Kryptonite website and it is FREE of charge to do so. Giving you 1 year of cover against theft.
Considering the make and model, this price was very shocking (in a good way). My expectations of this sort of lock, of this calibre and strength would be much more expensive. I would totally recommend this product. The only thing i would not recommend is going into a local bike shop and buying their D/U locks, as I think you will be ripped off.
It has a flat/square key included for this lock, so do not fret in regards to the reent findings of the round key locks being highly alble to be broken into with a "bic pen" as seen on youtube. You don't and shouldnt have this problem with this lock.
The cable, in my opinion, is much too short, isnt the best length to go through the bike, wheel and onto a bike rack for ectra security. A longer cable is definitely required for that extra security.
Feels very strong and durable. Rather heavy but that should be seen as a good thing! Quite impressed.
