Kryptonite Bike Locks
Bicyclists need big protection. Thieves are not easily intimidated with only flimsy and weak locks and cables. That is exactly why there are Kryptonite bike locks, to meet the needs for security. All locks from this brand are just better than the rest. Having a 14 millimeter steel shackle to defy cuts and forceful attacks, this is perfect for those who reside in places wherein crime is at a moderate to a high level.
Kryptonite locks are a legend
In 1972, the founder of Kryptonite bike locks organized an event to lock one bicycle having three speeds to a street signpost. For thirty days and thirty nights, the bicycle remained locked in the signpost albeit some parts have already been stripped off and removed by thieves. This publicity forever changed the principle of bike security. In 1994, in New York where 100,000 bicycles are stolen annually, a $600 bike was locked in a post for 2 days and remained intact. Dissatisfied with these tests, the founder and product director decided to place bikes in high-theft places for six days to three weeks. The bikes remained there before being taken off by the founder. Even while showing signs of abuse, the locks did not fail its purpose.
The Kryptonite security ranking
All bike locks made by Kryptonite undergo a security test to find out where they rank in terms of security. The Kryptonite bike locks are ranked 1-12 with 1 advisable for use in suburbia houses with dogs in the lot. A lock ranking at 12 is built for extreme preclusion especially in high-ranked criminal areas. All the locks have security features – double deadbolt lock system, disc cylinder with at least a million number variations, anti-drill and anti-pull protection mechanism, a dual cam locking system, all of which defend the bike against any attack.
