Kryptonite’s KryptoLok is a u-lock with a 12.7mm shackle available in four versions: Mini-7 (W3.25” x L7”), Standard (4” x 9”), LS (4” x 11.5”) and ATB (5” x 9”). This lock gets Sold Secure’s Gold rating and 2/5 stars from ART. Most owners find the KryptoLok durable over years of regular use, though some report rusted locks after a few months.

We search for prices on over 120 bike retailers to guarantee that we find the lowest prices – to save you time and money.

It’s a promise we stand behind: If you find a lower price on a bike elsewhere, we will sell it to you for 10% less. For example, if you find a bike for $480 that we have listed at $500, we will offer you to buy it for $432 through BikeRide. The bike must be the same color and size, sold in the US and not include the use of a coupon.
