The Best Bike Lock

The content of the video was not provided in detail.

The Kryptonite Evolution Chain Lock provides high security with a Sold Secure Gold rating and offers great portable security due to its compact nature. It can be heavy to carry but can be easily wrapped around the seat post of a bike. With hexagonal chain links from Kryptonite’s 3T Manganese steel, it's very sturdy but precautions should be taken to keep it away from the ground to prevent bolt cutter attacks. The chain lock comes with three keys and the integrated mechanism at the end of the chain makes handling simpler.

It’s also double bolted, which means that the shackle locks into the crossbar on both sides. So the shackle would need to be cut on both sides to open it up.

Despite progression in bike lock technology, there are no bike locks that are completely resistant to angle grinder attacks. However, several recent advancements, notably the Litelok X3 and Hiplok D1000, have substantially improved resistance to such attacks. Both employ innovative materials and designs that cause angle grinder blades to disintegrate, thereby extending the time required for thieves to break them.

Choosing the best u-lock involves considering your specific needs in terms of security level, lock size and budget. A good lock will be rated at least Sold Secure Silver in low risk environments and Gold in high risk environments. High security locks include the Kryptonite New York Standard, OnGuard Brute Standard and Abus Granit X Plus 540 Standard. For budget choices, consider the OnGuard Brute Standard or mid-security options like the Kryptolok or OnGuard Bulldog Standard DT.

"And while the angle grinder could (of course) cut the aluminum shell to get to the shackle, it's designed in such a way that this takes a long, long time."

The Hiplok Gold bike chain lock solves the problem of carrying a heavy chain lock by enabling it to be worn around the waist like a belt. With high-security features and ease of carriage, it is extremely valuable. However, its weight and potential to stain clothing with grime are drawbacks.

The TiGr Mini is a mid-security, lightweight titanium bike lock that's portable and easy-to-use, suitable for less valuable bikes.

“I think the Abus Granit X Plus 540 is probably the best all-round u-lock available today. It offers an extremely high level of security. It’s a practical size, which gives you loads of places to lock your bike”

The Foldylock Compact has been tested by Sold Secure and awarded a Silver rating. This makes it a good, mid-security lock, for lower risk circumstances.

No rattling, no movement, and no doubts over how long it will be until the lock falls off their bike!
