Bontrager Elite Keyed U-Lock with Cable

Bontrager's security rating of 8 indicates this lock is designed for moderate-risk areas, such as quick stops in urban environments or securing your bike for shorter periods. It provides a strong balance of portability and theft deterrence, though it is not intended for high-risk, long-term parking in high-theft zones.

No, the shackle is finished with a soft-touch coating specifically designed to prevent scratches and dings on your bike's paint while you are locking it up.

The cable is a secondary security measure, not a replacement for the U-lock. It is designed to loop through your front wheel or accessories like your seat, allowing you to secure more of your bike while the U-lock handles the primary frame-to-rack connection.

The double-bolting mechanism locks both sides of the shackle into the crossbar. This design is significantly more secure than single-bolt locks because it prevents thieves from twisting the shackle to break the lock open.

The bracket is designed to be versatile and fits most standard bike frames. However, if you have a non-standard frame shape, such as very thick tubing or an unusual geometry, you may find the mounting options limited.

This lock features industry-leading corrosion protection, meaning it is built to withstand exposure to the elements without rusting or seizing up. It is a reliable choice for year-round commuting in wet or harsh weather.
