It's easy to get into "analysis paralysis" when looking for bike locks on here. This one delivers on a few specific things I was looking for:1) You don't read too many reviews from people that bought a heavy duty lock, such as this, yet still got their bike stolen.2) I like that it comes with a cable. Even though I know it's only the U-Lock that truly protects the bike and that cables can easily be cut...wrapping it around your tires and other things thieves may want to steal provides that extra annoyance that can ward off those looking for a "quick grab".3) I like that the U-Lock can essentially be mounted anywhere on the bike. There are a few different locations they recommend mounting it, and having those options means you don't have to choose between mounting your bike lock or having a water bottle holder. You can finally have both.4) I like that it comes with 3 medium-duty keys that easily fit and turn inside the lock. I'm one of those people that will probably lose 1 or 2 keys of any set I am given, so this is great. Also, I never felt like I had to force the key to get it to turn (in fact, if you're forcing it you're probably doing it wrong).5) I like that the U-Lock buckles in on both sides, making it harder for someone to try and jam the lock off.All in all, if someone really wants to steal your bike, they will. But making it harder and more annoying for them to do so, and buying a heavy duty lock that will make their life difficult, significantly decreases the likelihood of that happening. I live in a medium-sized city (less than 1 million) where bike theft is very common and I feel comfortable leaving my bike locked up outside for hours with this one.

This lock has to be locked and unlocked a very particular way. It was tedious for me. I lost the keys so I have to order new keys. It seems very sturdy. I would still strongly recommend it for enhanced bike security. Tedious to put in place and tedious to remove.

Very convenient. Very easier to lock. I use this for my REI COOP eBike for commute work.

This lock was sold at a fair price, the weight, size and ease of use is out standing. Will purchase again if ever required.

I really enjoy using the product and don't have any fears of my bike being stolen when left on a public rack. I do wish the cable was an extra foot longer so I could have it go through both wheels and reach the bike rack to firmly lock.

I like it. Fixed to my bike frame no problem. Solid clamp and flexi cable give flexibility when locking to differ my locations.

Das Kryptonite Evolution Mini-7 Bügelschloss ist ein absolutes Muss für jeden Fahrradfahrer, der sein Fahrrad gut absichern möchte. Nach einigen Wochen im Einsatz bin ich sehr zufrieden mit der Qualität und der Sicherheitsstufe dieses Schlosses.Vorteile:Hoher Sicherheitsgrad: Mit einem Sicherheitsgrad von 7/10 bietet das Mini-7 Bügelschloss einen guten Schutz vor Diebstahl. Es ist robust genug, um das Fahrrad vor schnellen Diebstahlversuchen zu schützen, und ideal für städtische Gebiete, in denen die Gefahr eines Diebstahls höher ist.Bauqualität: Das Schloss ist aus hochfestem Stahl gefertigt und widerstandsfähig gegen Manipulation. Die Konstruktion fühlt sich äußerst stabil und langlebig an.Praktische Größe: Das Mini-7 ist kompakt und lässt sich problemlos am Fahrrad transportieren, ohne dass es zu viel Platz wegnimmt oder schwer wird. Es lässt sich einfach an einem Fahrradständer oder einer ähnlichen Struktur anbringen.Schlossmechanismus: Der Zylinder ist gut verarbeitet und schützt vor Picking und anderen Manipulationen. Ein solides Gefühl beim Verschließen des Schlosses.Was mir weniger gefällt:Der Preis ist etwas höher als bei anderen Fahrradsicherungen, aber angesichts der Qualität und des Sicherheitsniveaus finde ich das absolut gerechtfertigt. Außerdem könnte der Bügel für manche Rahmen etwas zu kurz sein, aber das ist bei kompakten Schlössern nun mal häufig der Fall.Fazit:Das Kryptonite Evolution Mini-7 Bügelschloss bietet hervorragende Sicherheit und ist eine ausgezeichnete Wahl für alle, die ihr Fahrrad effektiv schützen möchten. Es ist robust, kompakt und bietet ein gutes Verhältnis von Sicherheit und Tragbarkeit. Für den Preis bekommt man ein sehr zuverlässiges Produkt, das man bedenkenlos weiterempfehlen kann!

My first ever Kryptonite product and I am INLOVE. I've got 2 (race bike and a dutch bike) of my bikes stolen and 1 (mountain bike) destroyed to pulp, but with these locks nothing has happened to my new race bike so far.The frame mount is super nifty and cord gives me a lot of peace in my mind HAHAI have zero complaints!I've had a handful of moments where I was unable to open the lock due to its locking mechanism, but that's probably just a skill issue.And! Just a headsup, these are susceptible to rusting so remember to keep the keyhole closed ;)

Este candado para bicicleta ha sido una de las mejores compras que he hecho. Su mecanismo es sencillo de entender y fácil de usar; colocarlo en la bicicleta es rápido y práctico, sin importar la posición o el lugar donde lo asegures. Lo he probado en varias situaciones y siempre se adapta a diferentes tipos de bicis y puntos de anclaje en la ciudad, lo que te permite despreocuparte totalmente.La calidad de los materiales es impresionante. Aunque he realizado pruebas para forzarlo y verificar su durabilidad, ha resistido perfectamente. El candado muestra una excelente resistencia ante intentos de manipulación. Además, su diseño no solo es bonito, con formas y colores atractivos, sino que también es muy ligero, lo que lo hace fácil de llevar, ya sea colgado en la bici o en una mochila.He usado otros candados de la misma marca en zonas con alto índice de robos, y mi bicicleta siempre ha estado segura. Esto me da una gran confianza en la marca y la tranquilidad de poder dejar la bici mientras tomo un café o la dejo fuera del trabajo sin estar preocupado.Es, sin duda, una opción muy recomendable para cualquier tipo de bicicleta y para cualquier ciclista que busque seguridad y practicidad en su día a día.

とても頑丈な作りで安心感がある。ただし、U字ロック自体の長さが微妙に足りないので、フェンスなどに括り付けるときの余裕がなく、ワイヤーを併用する必要が出ることもよくある。ワイヤーはU字ロックより強度が劣るため、できれば使いたくないが、併用しないとどうしようもない時もあるため、より頑丈かつ取り回しがよい、軽量なワイヤーの開発を急いでいただきたい。現状、汎用性では、ブレード型には劣るか。ただし、同レベルのセキュリティ性を持つブレードロックの半分くらいの価格で買えるので、コスパはこちらの勝ち。

First. We all need to understand. Any bike can be stolen no matter what bike lock you use. A bike lock is a deterrent. Like "hey steal the bike next to me, it does not have a lock it will be easy". That said this mini-7 is quite stout. Any thief will at least need to work a little, and carry the proper tools.This mini-7 was purchased for college student who would leave bike outside in a rack along with many many other bikes. So far so good.Its a safety/protection device. You cannot always put a price on safety/protection. However, I sure would be nicer if it was a bit less expensive.Pros:- great size- nice frame mount options- two keys included- optional theft insurance- pleasing color scheme- excellent build quality- reputable / trusted nameCons:- not clear/easy, cable storage on the frame- its small (duh its a mini, but be careful about buying this, it might be to small to lock both a wheel+frame to a solid support)- priceyWould I purchase again: YesWould I recommend to others: Yes

Compared to most other less expensive locks that I've had, this Kryptonite Evolution appears to be better crafted, has a much heavier crossbar, the cylinder engages the shackle at both ends, the keying system feels more like a real lock, and it seems to be robust. Overall, these are impressive qualities that I do appreciate and they make me feel better about locking in high crime areas. However, there are some issues: the 13mm shackle is really not much heavier than most other locks, the shackle is a little too short for many real-world applications, the keying is sticky, and the bracket mount needs improvement. For a lock at this price, these issues are a little disappointing. I guess I can live with the 13mm shackle with the understanding that it's a trade-off for lighter carrying weight. The shorter shackle is a bigger issue. Another inch would make it so much easier to lock in many situations. The keying can be frustrating to engage, but maybe it's just the individual lock that I purchased. The thing that I dislike most is the bracket mount. It's complicated to install. Once installed it's even harder to reinstall in a different location if you need to after you've trimmed the band. The bracket's bulky shape just doesn't look that great when mounted. Also on the issue of aesthetics. the color of the lock itself is a brighter orange than it looks to be on most web photos. Perhaps this was a marketing decision for brand identity. A more neutral color would look so much better on most bikes.
