Torbjorn Hakansson: Verkar vara genomtänkt, även ringen är sexkantsstål, som gör det svårare med bultsax, men kedjan räcker inte runt ram och en stolpe om man har en e-bike med kraftig ram.

AlfredoPL: It's a very good and sturdy lock the chain is thicker than I thought. The thing is that it's so heavy that I don't know if I'm going to carry it everywhere with me. I live in a condo and I have mi bike in a common bike room so I think I will use this lock to store my bike in the bike room and I'll get a lighter chain to carry it for the quick stops in the street. Like a kryptonite keeper.

stanos: A really secure lock which feels really solid. I use this one for securing two bikes together at home. The main downside is the weight but as this is used at home it's fine but I would use a less heavy one if I was out out and about.

Rudy : La cadena es demasiado corta. Hubiera estado bien que pusieran que para motos grandes se recomienda cadena más larga, mínimo de UN METRO.

Paloma FarmerPaloma Farmer: This is an excellent lock. But if you're having trouble opening the lock and force the key, the key WILL break.
Kryptonite will refund your locksmith bill AND replace your lock - that's why this review gets 5 stars instead of 4.

Chain:
Pros: Huge, but not too long. Heavy, but not too heavy. Intimidating enough that it will hopefully turn away any sorry sops with bolt cutters before they even try. Jacketed in a sturdy sleeve to avoid the pinchy-pinchy finger effect. Also, this chain is just downright attractive.

Cons: Ok - so it's a little heavier then what's comfortable for a small or unfit person to move around, but if you bike a lot you've gotta be fit (haha not me), right? And it can be a little too short if you're stuck locking up to a thick pole or column.

Lock:
Pros: Good sturdy lock. Never had mine picked.
Cons: If you don't listen to instructions and force the key, it WILL break, and it's INCREDIBLY hard to fish out, if not impossible - depends on how the key breaks. If the key resists, stick a screwdriver or something in the lock to re-align the tumblers and try again. Once more, DO NOT force the key! It will break!

Amazon Customer: I purchased this lock even after having read a few negative reviews about the lock "seizing" up. After a few uses, I started to panic as my lock appeared to have the dreaded seize. The big reason it did not release? I had to apply pressure to the stem and the base for the third cylinder in the lock to turn. Just holding the lock together was all it took. No issues over the nearly daily use of it for the last month.

The lock has a wonderful noose in the chain allowing you to shorten the length of chain in use. I suspect this is specifically for preventing car jack lock breaks. I love it because I can get my bike snug to whatever I am attaching and it offers me more opportunities to use my Otto locks for my wheels.

As for weight, it is heavy, but I still carry it everyday in my backpack. I do have an ebike, so this may not be as much of an issue. Additionally, I tried three backpacks before I found one I could wear it comfortably with. I have an Arkterixs (sp?) Blade backpack that does the trick. Pro-tip: keep the backpack straps closer to your shoulders to prevent undue back/neck strain.

Wonderful lock. I feel safe.

ZachZach: This is the chain to go with if you've ever had a theft attempt on your bike, or are smart enough to prevent it. My old chain was about halfway cut through when I found it and for some reason the thief didn't finish the job. Not becuase they couldn't, b/c the chain was barley still together. That's when I said i paid too much for my bike to play this game. I have to step up and get a legit lock. "But damn" i said to myself, those heavy high end kryptonite locks weigh so much. Some of them 15 lbs, and that's not feasible to ride around with all the time for me. Enter this model chain. This is the lightest, most well designed form of a heavy duty "maximum security" chain that kryptonite offers. First off, let's just lay it out there. Yes, any chain can ultimately be cut through if the thief has enough balls and enough time to break them out in public. A freaking plasma cutter can melt steel and I suppose if you somehow rigged one up to ur truck and went out in the middle of the night, you could cut any lock thats physically made. However, short of that, the kryptonite new york "fuggetaboutit" level locks and these new york "series 4" are the highest...
