I purchased this lock for my son’s bike, and it was clearly an excellent security option as it was thick strong metal links and lock. However, at 15+ lbs it was a little bit too heavy for my son to ride with so I decided to return it. This or the Kryptonite u lock (as a lighter option) would both be great security.
Excelente producto de seguridad, es muy buen candado y cadena, sirve perfecto para bicicleta y motos chicas, es muy pesada lo que no te permite transportarla de manera sencilla, pero hay formas para traerla contigo, a la vista se observa una cadena sper resistente y la chapa del candado es de las ms seguras, muy recomendable
I had no idea how durable this lock would be. Online obviously says it’s the strongest, but man this thing is a beast (in a great way). After using this not sure I could ever trust another lock!
I just had my bike stolen from me and when I got another one I wanted it to be secure. I got the chain and it was heavy and feels really tough. It doesn’t look like you can use any type of bolt cutters for this, the only issue I have with it is the lock not the chain. The lock looks like you can cut through it easier than the chain so I’m not sure how secure it is but Ill definitely intimidated people trying to steal your bike so it gets the job done
This is a serious deterrent. They will probably cut my bike into pieces and steal the chain.
i returned the item because it was too heavy for me and my pedal bike
Great product. Heavy duty chain with heavy duty lock. I felt very comfortable leaving my motorcycle outside the motels at night.
Excellent lock and chain. Had a minor mark which was disclosed but not enough to make a difference. Love it and nothing will get stolen using this lock. Thank you
The weak link is actually just the trailer. The trailer would have be cut to remove the lick and chain. Heavy duty. I am going to purchase another one for my ATV as well. Worth every penny.
I use these to store a Polaris General outside at my lake community. I use two of these to secure front and back tires to the frame.
These are super heavy duty and would take a thief quite a while to defeat. I’m sure with enough time and resources, someone could work their way through these (see YouTube) but they’re definitely big enough to scare off the semi/unprepared thief. They won’t make an easy day for them.
The only true 100% theft fix is insurance. This is the next best thing.
I literally can’t tell you how many times I’ve left my apartment in New York to find pieces of my lock scattered on the sidewalk and my bicycle missing. Ain’t happening with this. With this thing, you could lock up a motorcycle and never worry. I will say it’s HEAVY, but it’s a small price to pay for knowing your bike will be there in the morning. I love it.
This is one beefy lock and chain. Definitely suited for home security use.
This chain ain’t no joke. It’s heavy and ridiculously tough. I feel like my stuff is secure. I’m really happy with it. Only complaint the lock mechanism and key… the keys seem a little flimsy and you have to mess with it a bit to get it all the way into the lock.
I’ve been using this lock and chain for a couple of days now and noticed right away that the lock is very “sticky” and hard to open out of the box. After reading through the care instructions I used some graphite lubricant in the lock cylinder and after that it was working smoothly.
I purchased this lock to secure a generator to our building. It is outside and covered, but I wanted it locked down. Thieves came by two different nights. The first night they fiddled with the lock but then left. They came back 2 nights later with 4 foot long bold cutters. The video showed them cranking down on the bolt cutters for nearly 15 minutes. In the end they left. I checked the chain and lock the next morning and the cloth covering was torn up but the chain didn’t even show a scratch from the bold cutters!!! I tell everyone about this lock. It is incredible!
This is a heavy chain (and lock) but it WILL resist bolt cutters (I’ve seen a youtube video of an attempt to cut it)
In my opinion a bit too heavy for a bicycle – but fine for a motorcycle. For a bicycle I would recommend the New York M18 ‘U’ lock. Considerably lighter but about as secure.
It will not withstand an angle grinder for long (no chain or shackle will) but what bike thief is going to crouch down for 3-4 minutes creating a racket as well as a lot of sparks ?
At 5.5kg it’s heavy so if you have a bicycle it needs to go on a pannier rack under bungees, I’m not even sure you could wrap it around the horizontal bar of the frame. In my opinion if your bike is worth in excess of 1,000 it’s worth spending 100+ on a lock and have peace of mind. It will def. go through the rear wheel and frame and around a thick pole and in some cases if the pole is thinner it could go through the rear wheel, frame, front wheel and around the pole, locking all of it.
If it won’t accommodate the front wheel as well, it’s advisable to at least buy a cheaper cable lock as well for the front wheel if you (as I do) hate repeatedly removing the front wheel and risking wheel misalignment.
Putting it on and taking it off is a minor work-out but if you want to actually KEEP your expensive bike you can’t really get more secure.
If you register your lock and your purchase with Kryptonite within one month of purchase, if your bike gets stolen they will compensate you up to 2,000 if the lock was busted open in the process. But you will need to e-mail them proof of lock purchase, proof of bike value (receipt or valuation by bike retailer), and a photo of the bike.
To claim you will need a police report and a photo of the broken lock.
Installed it in my garage, keep my bikes safe when i am not looking and gives me peace of mind!
I honestly don’t believe anyone can cut through those without heavy duty expensive zip cutters.
Nothing to dislike but purchased on the advice of my son. What he did not prepare me for was the weight.. Heavier than my bike (well almost) . Sturdy enough to moor the Titanic
I’ve had the need to lock up things for decades… tools, freight boxes, and even my personal, little bikes. It would take a considerable amount of time and noise to cut this. Plus the warranty is great. You need to load up receipt of your bike/cycle as well as an image of it to register the lock but they will either pay your insurance deductible or pay up to $5k for the unit that was stolen. BUT it’s heavy. Even around your neck it’s pretty cumbersome. But security will not be an issue in a public place, that’s for sure.
Was surprised at how big and heavy this was. Super sturdy. Not for carrying about though. For locking bike up at home.
Needed for my area since it’s outside. No issues so far. I wish the chain was longer since I’m wrapping it around a pole. I have my bike pretty close. I understand the length reasoning but it was a hassle in the beginning. I got my system worked out now so I’m good to go. The lock and chain is dropping and hitting the concrete regularly so it’s rather sturdy. I should definitely stop letting it hit the ground so it maintains that sturdiness lol
This chain and lock is ghee beefiest I have ever seen. My only trouble so far is that my lock got bound up once. The tumblers inside the lock hole got out of alignment and the lock refused to open. I had to carefully take a pick to realign the gates so the key could actuate properly. It has only happened to me once in the month I have owned it, but it was a pretty big scare because cutting the lockor chain would have been unreasonable if the lock had failed internally.
Molto robusto e molto pesante…..ma io lo uso per ancorare una bici in Garage con il gancio a terra.
Bello Robusto e Sicuro
Nunca pens del tamao y el peso que buen producto para que las ratas lo piensen 2 veces
I do not know how much of my lack-of-victimhood is due to the lock, or that I stow my bike inside my apartment and the fact that I don’t frequent many places, however every time I’ve locked my bike up somewhere with this chain (and another loop for the front wheel and seat), all the components have still been present upon my return.
Take that as you will.
This would be a 4-star review, however an acquaintance of mine spoke highly of the assurance of recompense that Kryptonite offers, having experienced it herself. I have, therefore, added a 5th star on her behalf.
La cadena y candado lucen y se sienten muy seguros, sin duda inspiran confianza para dejar la bici prcticamente donde sea, por el tamao se puede sujetar incluso a los postes de luz. Los contras son el peso (aprox 8kg) y la dificultad para transportarla.
I ride a keyless Tomos moped with locking forks, still, 2 men could just pick it up, throw it in the back of a pickup truck and be gone to drill that fork lock key hole. Now they don’t even bother after they see this beast. The only downfall is I top out at 40mph but when I have the Kryptonite with me I top out at 38mph she’s a heavy beast but I love her…almost as much as I love my moped. I highly recommend.
i had a bike stolen because i had 2 locks like the cheap one you see on the front wheel so more locks is always a good idea, but only if they re reliable
This is ridiculously thick and good at preventing theft. It does weigh quite a bit though. I would love to see a thief working on this chain and getting frustrated.
I think it’s intended for locking motorcycles but really anything could be locked up by this.
This is good for locking up ebikes. Because of its weight, it is not ideal for carrying around with bicycle.
It DOES require maintenance. You need to add the lube specifically designed for jammed locks every once in a while. After 3 months of using, the lock started to get very hard to pull out. After adding WD40 designed for locks, it seems to be fine. Assuming this is unavoidable, I would give it 5 stars.
Just arrived. It’s thicker and heavier than I thought…great 🙂
This is truly a very robust chain. Very secure and would discourage theft just by its looks.
Just bought this. Can’t say how durable or safe it is test, but it’s of superb manufacturing quality. The lock is solid and well made. The chain is made of 1/2″ thick steel. Weighs a ton. Great for our purpose of locking a motorcycle when parked. No thief is going to be able to cut through this steel.
I don’t use it as a bike lock but I do use it to lock my yeti coolers. I do a lot of camping and tailgating and so far so good. Hardcore thickness and the quality appears to be on the extreme side. Some people have said it’s too excessive to lock coolers but for what they cost, why not. And I simply don’t trust the yeti branded lock that feels like a shoe string compared to the kryptonite.
This is wonderful, really satisfied, great price, very happy secure lock, no worry about being stolen, really sorry the price and arrived when expected.
It is impossible to affix to a bike for transport. You need a bag or basket to transport this lock without a huge headache.
With that being said. Holy smokes this is a heavy duty unit. Would be great for locking a bike in a garage, or maybe using it to tow an 18 wheeler out of a ditch.
I laughed out loud when I opened the box. IT IS BIG & HEAVY. This is not a chain you will take with you on a ride, but it is the pinnacle of bicycle security. You will sleep soundly with this chain/lock on your bike. We use it to lock 2 bikes to each other and to a 4″ bike rack in a high theft area. (Each bike is also locked independently to the rack with Kryptonite New York U locks.) Well worth the price.
After doing some research on which chain to buy, this seemed like the best option in it’s price range. Build quality is excellent, but be advised this is a heavy chain. Great for locking up at home, but not very portable unless you plan on parking somewhere for a while. Definitely recommend! Fast shipping as well.
Super heavy and secure. The only downside is that it doesn’t have any ring at the end where the chain can be used for longer length.
LOVE THIS LOCK!!! Heavy duty!!! Lock my sleds together on the trailer. I feel confident that no one will cut through this. They basically have to take about the sled to get to them
I don’t mind lugging this chain around as I ride but I feel much better locking my bike up in the city. I’ve left my bike outside overnight with it and I came back to see it where I left it locked up. I’ve had other bike locks crap out on me from the key breaking in the lock to the tumblers not tumbling. With the former, a cable lock, I popped off in 3 seconds with bolt cutters.
Every component from the links, the lock, and the key are all solid and aren’t likely to fail you, barring extinction level events. Also, I believe Kryptonite insures your bike for a significant sum if your bike does get nicked while using their products.
Wow. What a lock! I paid really good money for my bike and needed a lock that I could trust to keep my bike safe while I was at work. This is the lock. I couldn’t tell from the picture how amazingly thick the links in the chain were, but this thing is a *beast*! The u-lock is as smooth as silk and very solid when locked. This is a great chain. The only issue is the weight of the chain on the bike – but you can’t have security with heft.
This thing is so thick and heavy that I think k it would take quite a while to get through it. I use it for my motorcycle and only take it with me on long vacations. For everyday use I leave it chained to a cinder block. Well worth the money.
I use the long version of it to lock a timbersled (cross between a motocross bike and a snowmobile) to the bed of my truck, in which I haul this toy. The lock works great, even in extreme cold and I’m really happy with the sheath that protects whatever you have from the lock’s chain. I just wish the chain came in even longer versions. And, not sure whether there is an option to buy two locks with one chain, but that would be nice to have.
If you plan to take this chain with you, you better have saddle bags. I wouldn’t want to stuff it in a back pack. The chain alone is 15-20lbs and wearing it bandolier style for more than half a mile will put a wicked kink in your back. I’ve managed to fold it up into my Joe Rocket Manta tank bag but that’s all that will fit when I do.
My motorcycle was stolen from my building’s parking lot and I said “never again”. This lock and chain combo weighs an astonishing amount and it’s plenty big enough to make a thief go for the easier target.
Awesome product. Arrived ahead of schedule, as pictured. Bought because I previously had my braided and sheathed 0.5 inch cable clipped off of the u-lock and had my bike stolen. This should be enough to deter most thieves from YOUR bike and send them somewhere else. People have reported difficulty with the locking mechanism. I haven’t experienced this at all – but I’d say if you did have any issues just get over it and use a different U-lock. After all it’s the chain that I really needed from this thing. It’s a total monster!
Bought this to act as a secondary lock (through a wheel and around the axle) for my work trailer. On my scale it weighed in at 14.6 pounds! Also used it to secure 3 bikes on a recent road trip. Definitely was not worried about someone taking the bikes. I threw this in a backpack when we were biking. Bad idea…unless you are Super Man or Wonder Woman you are not going to use this as a mobile day to day bike lock.
You want heavy duty??? Well look no further!!! This Kryptonite would even be a tough match against Superman! Well except for an angle grinder. Cause that is how your chain is going to come off… without a key.
I use this to lock up my 05 GSXR 600 at my apartment. I also use Kryptonite’s disk lock with a Dowcow motorcycle cover to creat layers of security.
Also register your key or keys (if you have another Kryptonite product) on their website in case you lose a key. They will send you a replacement for a $10-$15 cost (around there). Don’t forget to register your bicycle or powersport. Kryptonite granted me up to $2100 were my motorcycle to get stolen.
It does come with a warranty of up to $5000 I believe which is perfect, just make sure you are not already covered by any other insurance before signing up since they will make you use the other insurance first. The cost of insurance is free for the first one year and around $30 to extend it to 5 years. It will only be covered it seems if the chain/lock were cut somehow.
My only complaint is that I wish it was a tad longer. Since I am using it with the Kryptonite Ground Anchor I always struggle with it a bit to cover both the rear wheel and the frame.
All I can say is “good luck” to the guy who tries to steal my scooter. Bring your “A-game” and some power tools because that’s what will be needed to steal my Ruckus!
Flippin’ heavy (thick chain) but that’s the price of security. I wouldn’t carry it with me on a pushbike but I bought it to lock up my motorbike (carried in the top box). ! Nice smooth lock action; a lot of (tough) metal for your money; hopefully a good deterrent ..
In my opinion this in one of the best chains out there. The only issue (which I expected coming in) was the weight. This thing weighs at least 15 lbs so I would not recommend it if you need to carry it around. I got it because I needed something that would allow me to strap my bike to a large pillar and this (barely) did the trick. The only thing I wish was that it was available in 7′, that would have been the perfect size; as this was just barely long enough for my needs. If you need something that you can carry around, I would recommend a U-Lock; but if you need something that can wrap around a pillar and you don’t need to move it much if at all, this should do well for that.
Excellent lock. Almost overkill for my neighborhood, but happy that after a day of work my bike will still be where I left it.
This is one heavy piece of chain. Nothing short of a grinder is going to take this off, and I agree with other reviews, this is very heavy so not something you would carry around with you all day, but great for locking stuff up at home. the lighted key is a nice touch as well.
A neighbor who had locked up his bikes with a simple cable lock wasn’t so lucky.
This lock is extremely heavy and it can damage the paint job to your bike if you’re not careful. Other than those caveats, this is perfect for garages in high theft areas.
I dropped this chain and it cut through the ground like a hot knife through butter. I’ve heard it’s somewhere in India at this point.
In all seriousness though, this chain isn’t screwing around. I have complete trust that any petty thief is gonna pass my bike up for my coworker’s Suzuki Gladius when I have this thing on.
Even when I do drop it on the ground the gravel/pavement doesn’t even scratch the chains. That’s how hard they are. The lock feels very sturdy, but if anything’s gonna give way, it’s gonna be the lock. That isn’t to say it’s bad, I think it’s top notch.
If anyone steals what you lock up with this, move on and buy a new one. The definitely deserve it. Once you pull this bad boy out the box the world will stop spinning. Weather a storm, Hurricane, tsunami, volcanic activity, a girlfriend nagging, or even death (grim reaper) come your way, pull this behemoth out and all things cease. Not even the man above could part the sky for his second coming if you chain it up with this. To sum it all up you don’t even have to lock up anything with this lock, just leave it next to whatever you trying to protect and that will be sufficient. It’s that intimidating.
Hi guys, well here I am, making a review of this moster chain-lock. First at all, I chose to buy this because other people gave to this articule good reviews, now I am the guy doing the same, when I got this moster delivered at home, I started to do the same as the guys in past reviews told me to do, first, weight, is incredible heavy, I could kill whoever is gonna steal my motorcycle with that, the second thing that I noticed was appearence, is any thift is close to my bike the first thing that they will notice is how robust and well made is this chain, it scare anyone just with that, and the third and most important feature for me, is his guaranty, it said could assume up to $ 3000 in the case that someone open the lock, tha’t is amazing to me! I’m not looking to get any guaranty because my motorcycle cost me more, but at least it has it!
keeping my K1600GTL right where I left it.
So far so good. Nice and heavy also…..
A little heavier than I thought, but in a good way. I like it.
This feels like the lock for me. High crime area and lots of bolt-cutter sliced cables and smashed locks. That drove me to the scale of this chain. It is HEAVY, so not easily portable. But it is solid. Massively so. I hope I don’t have to report on ill effects.
I love this lock!! I built myself a motorized bicycle kit for easy commute to my college campus. I really didn’t want anyone to steal my new ride, so I did some research and stumbled across this beast. I absolutely love the looks I get when I pull this monster out of my backpack, with the medieval metal clinking sound and all. It’s extremely heavy at 15.5 pounds, so if you’re using this for a purely pedal-powered bike, I would consider a lighter option. However, if necessary, this lock will do the trick. I can’t see anyone breaking any of these links anytime soon.
This chain just shows heavy duty when you it, it is so big it broke the box during shipment this chain is extremely intimidating if you were to be a thief.I always put in my head if your a the if and want it, then you’ll will get it. I’m going to be using this for my quad I’m using this as well as a disloc break from kryptonite. But also I am getting insurance. It’s very cheap and it just protects your property if somebody were to be able to get it. I am being very optimistic for this chain. I do recommend it. BTW if someone is looking for a bike lock it is a very good chain just don’t get the 5 ft chain its way to heavy.
It is heavy, solid & easy to lock, unlock. The chain looks treated and Stands out as a serious deterrent.
The key has a nice bright blue light that helps in unlit areas at night.
Now i thought about maybe giving 3-4 stars but i concluded that the lock itself imo is definitely worth 5 stars so i have given 5 stars.
The reason why I considered 3-5 stars is because I ordered this item from koo bikes and it took so long to arrive i contemplated sending it back.
It had passed the cut off delivery date. Totally unacceptable. I was very annoyed.
So my advice is if you want a solid chain and lock to keep your bike safe, I recommend this one.
As for ordering it from koo bikes, fahgettaboudit.
First of all, this chain is effectively unbreakable by all the the most well-equipped bicycle thief. That being said there are a number of small issues that buyers should be aware of:
1: It is very heavy. I believe the weight is about 5.5 kg, making it pretty heavy to move around. This also makes it a hassle to actually lock your bike up, as it’s not all that easy to get through your spokes and frame. I carry it around with me as I refuse to be a victim of theft, but smaller people might struggle with the bulkiness.
2: Not all the chain links are covered with fabric. This has already resulted in a number of nasty chips in the paintwork of my new mountain bike. Not that it matters a whole heap, but users be careful when locking and unlocking the chain.
3: The lock on mine is a little finicky, even though I’ve only owned it for about a week. Hopefully it’s not symptomatic of more problems to come, I certainly don’t want to have to buy an angle grinder to free my bike if the lock goes belly-up.
Aside from those, the lock is all but good. Most bike thefts are crimes of opportunity, and no opportunistic thief is gonna spend the time trying to get through this lock.
The only downside is that it’s so strong and bulky that it is hard on my fragile body when lift it into locking position. I can curl about 300 lbs but this thing strains my man-muscles. The keys it comes with are a pleasant touch. For real though, I don’t think there’s a better lock out there.
This chain and lock appear to be made with security in mind and appear very strong. Is it foolproof? I doubt it, it’s almost impossible to completely secure something without spending millions and even then there’s probably a hole. But my idea is that it would slow a thief long enough that my alarm would kick in and notify the local authorities. I doubt that any thief wants to stick around with a high decibel alarm telling anyone within ear shot that something is amiss and that it is likely the police are on the way. So for me it is another solid link in a chain of security. It does what I want.
Got the longer length for the flexibility. Already have the 3 footer and love the extra 2 feet and weight. Definitely not the commuter security lock you put in your backpack. Home or car or camping. A deterrant. Nothing is theft proof. Figured it will slow them down. Enough cable locks out there for a thief and hopefully pass this one by. Would need a portable battery powered metal grinder. Use in Shed threaded through a 35 lb kettle bell. The old ball and chain approach. And the nylon sleeve is great for protecting the finish of your bike…or whatever else you want to secure. And then a Kryptonite NY Ulock. Redundancy. Lube the lock and shackle every few months. Mine works great.
Really very impressive as a motorcycle lock. I drive a sports bike in a college city thats not known for motorcycle theft but oh well, you can’t be too careful. This motorcycle lock gives me complete peace of mind at night. I highly recommend getting the 5′ lock for motorcycle unless you have easy access. Also if you have a spot in the swingarm, a swingarm brace, that would be ideal or someone could still steal your bike by taking off the tires (unlikely, but still). This chain is quality and will last for years. Don’t cheap out on protecting your bike. Kryptonite offers up to 1250 i believe in insurance if your bike is stolen while using this lock which will help recuperate some of the cost if it does happen. But overall, I’m extremely satisfied with this lock.
Got this to secure my bikes in the shed, the hole thing is big a heavy and would make anyone looking to take to think again. Think it is a home lock rather than one you would carry due to the size and weight. Think if you spend allot on a bike then this is the lock you need and this was the best price I could find.
1.5 metre version is very long and should cope well in any scenario.
I bought this to lock up my dual sport bike at home. I received the 14 mm chain and 15 mm lock and use the chain in combination with a ABU’s disc lock and motorcycle cover. The chain is intimidating to look at, which is the whole point, as the idiot contemplating stealing it would probably move over to something easier. I got the 5 feet version, so I can wrap the chain around a street light, small tree, etc. and still be able lock the rear wheel. Only gripe is that the chain is extremely heavy and best left at home or other fixed parking place.
The lock itself can double as a stand-alone disc lock. Very solid and colored yellow to act as a visual deterrent.
On time delivery and exactly what I needed. When they say 15lbs, they mean it.Thank you.
Living in the city you need a bike lock that you know will make thieves think twice before trying to steal your bike. This lock definitely does that. I don’t know how many times thieves have tried to steal my bike but I have come outside and seen that the chain has been messed with overnight. So far I still have my bike.
As other’s have mentioned it is very heavy. That is the point. This is not the tiny little cable lock that you will keep in your pocket as you ride your bike to grandma’s house in the suburbs knowing that no one would ever consider touching another person’s belongings. This is the wu-tang clan of bike locks. This will protect your neck and let other’s know that you ain’t nothing to F with.
Highly recommended.
Very stout lock, weighs half as much as my mountain bike. Laser cut keys are a bit sharp on the edges. LED in one key is blue (that’s neat). Lots of wiggle room when inserting the keys.
Can confirm what other reviewers have said about no tactile feedback or audible ‘click’ when locked. Bottom line: Don’t be in a hurry when locking your bike; double or triple-check the lock before leaving and you’ll be fine.
Also, I tested all 3 keys repeatedly (15-20 times each) to ensure smooth operation of each key. For the money this lock costs you’d expect a more fluid key insertion / locking / removal process. Again, take your time when locking, making sure to insert the key completely before turning (you can turn the key with it only partially inserted).
My motorbike hasnt been nicked yet- its a nice long chain and solid looking piece of lock- but lets see if it works against the scum of londo
Bought this chain for my CBR because I have to leave it out front of work for up to 8 3/4 hours at a time and we don’t have a secure parking garage. I just run the chain through the back wheel and through a bike rack. Major pain in the behind to carry around, but I feel a lot more comfortable leaving the bike outside work for long periods of time because this thing is indestructible. Just the sight of the chain alone would be enough to deter most thieves from even trying to take your bike. The chain is enormous, and the lock is clearly made to take a beating. The five foot length allows for a lot of options when finding a place to lock your bike. It gets used up quickly because of how big the chain links are, but for me it has been more than enough length. I say if the area you live in is questionable, then this is a must have because it would be extremely difficult to remove this chain with anything other than the key.
I am very impressed.. This chain lock is very heavy duty and the shipping was fast and right to my front door.
I have rated this lock and chain the highest possible because, well, nobody will evef just walk away with my Scooterretti ! This lock was quite a bit overkill compared to what I thought I was ordering. However, I am quite happy it is because I know that when anyone who may have thought they could just walk away with my Scooterretti will not even attempt it once they see the look of this lock and chain ! I highly recommend this lock to anyone who wants to go to bed not having to think there may be a possibility the item they have locked might not be there when they wake up ! Whether you have a bike, scooter, motorcycle, lawn tractor, boat motor and trailer or whatever else you need to keep secured, This is the answer !
After hearing too many stories from other Harley owners that their unsecured bikes had been stolen, I bought this chain and lock at the Honolulu dealership where I bought my 2014 Harley Sportster Iron XL883N for $200. When my boyfriend later bought his Harley Forty Eight from the same dealership, we decided to be smart and buy it from Amazon for only $130 and free standard shipping to Hawaii. He received it in only 3 days. Whether for $200 or $130, this lock and chain set is awesome and keeps our Harleys well secured. The chains are heavy and probably discourage the thieves of opportunity with one glance. When we take our bikes to work, we leave the chain behind and just use the disc lock on our wheels and secure the bikes’ forks. The price is worth our peace of mind that when we go out to wherever we locked up our bikes, they will still be there. Happy with this product and highly recommended.
I love how strong and heavy this thing is.I would def buy again.The lock scares off thieves just from looks alone. a bike was park right next to mine in front of my building.they thieves didnt even try with my bike once they so the lock and stole the other bike.I saw the video of the theft.My only issue is that the lock key doesnt want to open at times and thats scary,since this lock is strong as it gets but I feel secure with this lock and chain on.i would have given it 5 stars if it wasnt because of the issue opening the lock.
I’ve been using this for a month. It does what I need and does it well. It’s a top quality product. Don’t be lured by cheaper imitations. This is the real deal. I’m glad I bought it.
This is a chain that allows you to lock up anything with confidence. It’s a bit too heavy to drag around with you but for home use its perfect.
This chain is absolutely massive! I have used it mostly at my apartment to lock it to my patio but I have taken it with me to work to lock it outside. It is 15 pounds but I knew this when I bought it and I’m very pleased with how well it has worked. When I take it with me it fits in my Topeak MTX Trunk Bag DXP Bicycle Trunk Bag with Rigid Molded Panels just fine.
UPDATE: 3/18/16
My lock jammed and the key would only turn 90 degrees. I tried some teflon based lubricant (Don’t use WD-40) but it didn’t help. Luckily Kryptonite sent me a new one and didn’t even ask for a a return. It was quite annoying because it took them an average of 1 week to reply to each email while they troubleshooted the issue but I can’t complain too much because they gave me a new one. The mechanism of the new one seems sturdier than the original I bought in 2012 because it has no play when pulling on the 2 pieces of the lock so I suspect that it’s been updated.
