What customers say about "Key Specs"

TiGr Lock (TL210) Flexible Titanium Bike Lock

The lock and bow are tough and very well-made. Also, I really liked that the bow mounted to my bike easily.
Lock spins making it more difficult for gripping/picking.
Minimal parts on bow, there are no welded parts like in a chain. It's one smooth piece of metal except for the part which goes into the lock and that is covered by lock when engaged.
It is titanium and essentially unbreakable. It is very light, less than 2 lbs, and fits right on the crossbar of your bike without bother or scratching.
Awesome bike lock. So much better experience than u locks. Takes some getting used to and would look ugly on many bikes, but blends in well with my titanium frame.

Kryptonite Kryptolok -1 Series-2 Mini-7 Heavy Duty Bicycle U Lock

I like the smaller size which fits on my seat stem and drapes over my seat post carrier pack. It's small but strong.
There is a way to defeat this lock, but it isn't something that anyone but the most elite criminals would do for a bike.
I love the lock. It's sturdy and seems like it will definitely deter theft attempts -- and make a successful theft extremely difficult.
Works great and is easy to operate. Bike holder is almost useless! I always put my lock into a bag on the bike rack.
Sturdy build. Mini U locks are the way to go, as there is little space for thieves to work with.
This lock was always hard to open. Putting the key in the lock would not result in consistent opening and have to jiggle it just so to open.

What customers say about "Features"

TiGr Lock (TL210) Flexible Titanium Bike Lock

It mounts along top tube and is out of my way when I ride. I do not hit my knees or any of myself on it.
This is a very interesting piece of industrial design; great in some ways (much, much lighter than any other lock you'd actually be able to trust).
Very lightweight compared to standard U-locks or chains. Looks and feels high-quality. Velcro straps that hold it are very strong and secure.
This is a great product. It's so easy to put on and take off for transport, and the system to attach it to the bike so superior to the many other locks I've had.
This lock has been deterrent to theft so far with its sturdy build and unique design.

Kryptonite Kryptolok -1 Series-2 Mini-7 Heavy Duty Bicycle U Lock

Thus far the lock has done its job! I will say the mount that comes with it is a little cheap, but it works.
It works like it should - the keys work fine, the plastic covering doesn't scratch the frame.
Great product. Feels like it is made solid. The bike mount is great as it does not scratch your frame and at the same time you do not get any vibration/movement.
It's brilliant, nice color, light and it works since I just have huge pliers and hammer marks all over it and the mf clearly had to give up on stealing my bike.
The mounting system is surprisingly secure; I haven't had any issues with the lock shifting/rattling while I ride.
