Kryptonite Kryptoflex 1218

The Kryptonite brand cable bike lock is a mid-budget anti-theft accessory designed for basic protection. The model features a flexible steel cable with a diameter of 12 mm and a length of 1.8 meters. It boasts enhanced cut resistance, aimed at reducing the risks of being broken into. Additionally, its good flexibility and ample length are meant to add convenience during actual use: the cable can encircle not only the frame but also the wheels and can be used to secure the bike to various immovable objects within the city (and beyond).

The Kryptonite Kryptoflex 1218 bike lock has received a security rating of 2 out of 10 according to the brand's security scale, indicating decent anti-theft qualities for low theft risk. Therefore, it is best used only for short unsupervised parking and with relatively inexpensive bicycles, including children's bikes. Other features of the model include an upgraded core with better break-in protection, EASY-CLICK system (with automatic latching; the key is needed only for unlocking), as well as a lifetime warranty and moderate weight (less than 800 grams). The package includes a bracket and a pair of keys.
