What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
Listing details are inconsistent: the product title names a Standard Shackle, while the model-details list dimensions as 8 x 3 x 3 centimetres without giving the shackle opening, and one control field says App despite this being a mechanical U-lock. Verify the selected listing and fit against your bike and locking point. The 2.02 kg weight is listing-supplied.

Customer feedback highlights sturdiness and perceived security, while some customers report key-function problems within a year and criticise the mounting bracket. Opinions also differ about weight and functionality. The listed 2.02 kg weight is useful context for the carrying concern, and the claimed Flex Frame-U system may matter to mounting, but customer feedback does not establish how any individual unit will perform.
Positive themes
- Customers describe the lock as sturdy and solid, and report confidence in its security.
Negative themes
- Some customers report that the key stops working within a year. The mounting bracket also receives criticism.
Mixed feedback
- Customers disagree about the lock's weight and functionality.
Frequently asked questions
What security features are listed?
The listing claims a 16 mm hardened steel shackle, hardened double deadbolt design and a disc-style cylinder described as pick and drill resistant. These are listing claims, not independent test results.
Does it come with a carrying bracket?
The features list says a Transit Flex Frame-U transportation system is included. The separate included-components field names only the lock, so confirm the selected listing's package contents.
How heavy is the lock?
The listed weight is 2.02 Kilograms, which may matter if you carry it on every ride.
Is the shackle opening size confirmed?
No opening dimensions are supplied. The listing gives item dimensions of 8 x 3 x 3 centimetres, but these do not specify the usable shackle clearance.
