Kryptonite NY Chain

The Kryptonite NY 1275 weighs 11 lbs. While it offers top-tier security, its weight makes it better suited for locking your bike in a consistent location rather than carrying it in a backpack on every ride.

The cinch-loop allows you to use the full length of the chain more effectively. By looping one end through the other, you can cinch the chain tight around your frame and a fixed object, which eliminates excess slack that thieves could otherwise use to gain leverage.

No, the chain is encased in a durable fabric sleeve. This protective layer acts as a buffer between the hardened steel links and your bike's frame to prevent scratches and abrasions.

The chain is designed to work specifically with the included EV4 disc lock. Because the chain links are hardened steel and shaped to resist attacks, the lock is matched to provide a comparable level of security.

At 51 inches, this chain is generally long enough to secure your frame and one wheel to a standard bike rack or post. If you need to secure both wheels, you may need to use a secondary cable or lock.

The product specifications do not list specific weatherproofing for the lock mechanism. It is best practice to keep the keyway facing downward when locking to minimize water ingress and to apply a dry lubricant to the lock cylinder periodically.
