The Kryptonite Evolution Mini-7 U-Lock features a 13 mm hardened max performance steel shackle with a double deadbolt anti-rotation design that resists bolt cutters and twisting leverage attacks. The lock’s disc-style cylinder with center keyway is protected by a vinyl coating and is pick and drill resistant. The keyway also features a sliding dust cover to protect the cylinder from dirt and debris when not in use. It includes three stainless steel keys with an ergonomic design to reduce torque and keep them from bending or breaking. One of the keys has an LED key fob for added visibility in the dark. Rated at a 7 / 10 on our security scale, the Evolution Mini-7 is good for quick stops on college campuses, a couple of hours in major metropolitan areas, and all day & overnight in suburbs and rural areas.

Title: Solid, small lock great for small framed bike lock on college campus
Review: First. We all need to understand. Any bike can be stolen no matter what bike lock you use. A bike lock is a deterrent. Like "hey steal the bike next to me, it does not have a lock it will be easy". That said this mini-7 is quite stout. Any thief will at least need to work a little, and carry the proper tools.This mini-7 was purchased for college student who would leave bike outside in a rack along with many many other bikes. So far so good.Its a safety/protection device. You cannot always put a price on safety/protection. However, I sure would be nicer if it was a bit less expensive.Pros:- great size- nice frame mount options- two keys included- optional theft insurance- pleasing color scheme- excellent build quality- reputable / trusted nameCons:- not clear/easy, cable storage on the frame- its small (duh its a mini, but be careful about buying this, it might be to small to lock both a wheel+frame to a solid support)- priceyWould I purchase again: YesWould I recommend to others: Yes

Title: Quality lock
Review: Very impressed by this lock. The only thing I think should be more transparent is that the one year anti theft protection does cost $14.99. Ok, but would have been good to know.

Title: Good, but Could be Better
Review: Compared to most other less expensive locks that I've had, this Kryptonite Evolution appears to be better crafted, has a much heavier crossbar, the cylinder engages the shackle at both ends, the keying system feels more like a real lock, and it seems to be robust. Overall, these are impressive qualities that I do appreciate and they make me feel better about locking in high crime areas. However, there are some issues: the 13mm shackle is really not much heavier than most other locks, the shackle is a little too short for many real-world applications, the keying is sticky, and the bracket mount needs improvement. For a lock at this price, these issues are a little disappointing. I guess I can live with the 13mm shackle with the understanding that it's a trade-off for lighter carrying weight. The shorter shackle is a bigger issue. Another inch would make it so much easier to lock in many situations. The keying can be frustrating to engage, but maybe it's just the individual lock that I purchased. The thing that I dislike most is the bracket mount. It's complicated to install. Once installed it's even harder to reinstall in a different location if you need to after you've trimmed the band. The bracket's bulky shape just doesn't look that great when mounted. Also on the issue of aesthetics. the color of the lock itself is a brighter orange than it looks to be on most web photos. Perhaps this was a marketing decision for brand identity. A more neutral color would look so much better on most bikes.

Title: Good. Easy. Affordable
Review: No one has cut into it yet. But it feels heavy duty and Benâs dis reputable and feels hefty. The cable that comes with it too is pretty easy to install. Good performance and portability.

Title: Best U-Lock in the market
Review: Great U-Lock, it arrived exactly as described. It's the second one that I buy. Note that although it says Mini, this is rather standard size, especially for a road bike.

Title: Very good lock
Review: This lock kit is everything you need for your bike. Great flexibility allows me to secure when mounted on my carrier rack and then if need to lock bike to run in and grab some food. Had an older one that I lost the key too and this is not as bullet as that on. Nice to port around if needed.

Review: My first ever Kryptonite product and I am INLOVE. I've got 2 (race bike and a dutch bike) of my bikes stolen and 1 (mountain bike) destroyed to pulp, but with these locks nothing has happened to my new race bike so far.The frame mount is super nifty and cord gives me a lot of peace in my mind HAHAI have zero complaints!I've had a handful of moments where I was unable to open the lock due to its locking mechanism, but that's probably just a skill issue.And! Just a headsup, these are susceptible to rusting so remember to keep the keyhole closed 😉

Review: Este candado para bicicleta ha sido una de las mejores compras que he hecho. Su mecanismo es sencillo de entender y fácil de usar; colocarlo en la bicicleta es rápido y práctico, sin importar la posición o el lugar donde lo asegures. Lo he probado en varias situaciones y siempre se adapta a diferentes tipos de bicis y puntos de anclaje en la ciudad, lo que te permite despreocuparte totalmente.La calidad de los materiales es impresionante. Aunque he realizado pruebas para forzarlo y verificar su durabilidad, ha resistido perfectamente. El candado muestra una excelente resistencia ante intentos de manipulación. Además, su diseño no solo es bonito, con formas y colores atractivos, sino que también es muy ligero, lo que lo hace fácil de llevar, ya sea colgado en la bici o en una mochila.He usado otros candados de la misma marca en zonas con alto Ãndice de robos, y mi bicicleta siempre ha estado segura. Esto me da una gran confianza en la marca y la tranquilidad de poder dejar la bici mientras tomo un café o la dejo fuera del trabajo sin estar preocupado.Es, sin duda, una opción muy recomendable para cualquier tipo de bicicleta y para cualquier ciclista que busque seguridad y practicidad en su dÃa a dÃa.

Review: Siamo super contenti del lucchetto Kryptonite! à robusto e ben costruito, ci dà molta sicurezza quando lasciamo la bici in strada. Il design è resistente e il colore arancione lo rende ben visibile, un deterrente in più per i ladri. Ottimo acquisto per proteggere la bici, lo consigliamo vivamente!
