Good lock, though less heavy than indicated.

- TdW, 15 August, 2025

A good and sturdy lock. It is convenient that the key does not have to stay in when you close it. It sometimes takes some searching to get the key in properly. The mentioned weight on this website of almost 1300 grams is not correct, the lock weighs just under a kilo.

Pros & Cons

handy that the key can stay out when closing
Sturdy
key sometimes goes in a bit difficult

Good, safe and sturdy lock

- Maurits, 9 December, 2024

It is a very sturdy lock which is not easy to cut. The key turns very smoothly. The lock weighs quite a lot but that makes sense as it is a chain.

Pros & Cons

2 keys
Key turns very smoothly
Secures well
Is quite heavy

Fine, practical lock

- Din, 21 March, 2024

Chosen this lock because this brand's own security level was sufficient as a second lock for the bike insurance chosen. Most ART 2 locks with length >100cm were at least 1 to 1.5 kg heavier and a lot clunkier. Here, the iron parts are sufficiently concealed that you can use it without immediate fear of damaging your bike. Furthermore, very handy that the lock can close without you having to insert the key to do so.

Pros & Cons

Iron parts sufficiently concealed
Long enough (120cm)
Not too heavy
No ART approval

Just a good lock!

- Malou, 16 September, 2021

Good lock. Weighs a lot, but that's what you buy it for. Clicks in well. Easy lock. The keyhole does rotate, which can be an advantage, but you have to get used to it. Satisfied!

Long enough
