Description
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. It also includes our patented Flex Frame-U Bracket providing convenient multi-location U-Lock transport. This lock is also bundled with a Krypto Flex 410 (4′ 10mm) double looped braided steel cable for securing front wheel or accessories.

These feel super robust. The shackle is pretty small so it can be a little tricky to lock these anywhere, but with the wire the reach is not a problem though you lose a lot of safety.Value for price is crazy…Lock picking lawyer seem to respect kryptonyte so I do too ????

I have bought two of these bike locks. The bike did get stolen but it wasn’t the fault of the lock. The thief cut through the iron fence I had the bike locked to, and took the lock with them. So it’s definitely effective. My only complaint is that the lock mount that came with the lock didn’t include any instructions. So I wasn’t certain what that extra part was FOR. Until I saw a lock happily mounted to the bike when NOT in use. I thought the extra part was to prevent scratches when it was LOCKED up. So I threw the parts away…twice. Don’t be me.

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.

The lock is nice and it is good combo. I ordered it for my e bike. Unfortunately the shackle length/diameter was small and it was not extended up to the stand to lock my bike. So I have to return it. It would have been great it it come with a standard u lock not the mini one.Overall i like the lock although it was suitable for my bike.

I have had so many bikes stolen in the years. I absolutely love this bike lock. The only thing is you have to make sure to fully turn the key all the way around or the lock will not open. ???? I found this out the hard way. I recommend this 100%.

This bad boy will keep your bike locked up as long as the thief doesn’t have a grinder and 10 minutes. Metal is thick and hefty, same as the included cable. The lock itself is next to impossible to pick if you’ve seen LockPickingLawyer’s video about it. No regrets and see you in a couple of years when I tell you about the entire bicycle rack getting stolen to get passed this U-Lock.

Seems good. Locking mechanism Is a little cumbersome.

Haven’t used a lot yet but quality seems improved. Key is still an issue. Key can be reluctant to turn sometime but always does. I’ve found making sure the key is completely inserted helps.

Buenas primeras impresiones, bien para patinete, robusto aunque con limitaciones
Antes de nada, decir que me han enviado una unidad claramente usada previamente. Probablemente alguien que lo ha probado un par de veces y lo ha devuelto por cualquier motivo.El producto en sí es bueno, tenéis miles de reviews en Youtube. Las dimensiones interiores son 18 cm de alto y 9 cm de ancho. Las dimensiones totales son 24 cm de alto y 15 cm de anchoSolo hay dos maneras de romper la seguridad de este candado con herramientas convencionales y portátiles: con una radial o forzando la cerradura (algo que está fuera del alcance del ladrón medio según el experto LockPickingLawyer). Kryptonite lo valora con una seguridad de 7/10 pero es muy dependiente del sitio en el que dejeis vuestro vehículo y el tiempo que vaya a quedar desatendido. En las ciudades más grandes, en pleno centro, este candado se antoja insuficiente por si solo (añadiría un candado de disco con alarma).Personalmente lo uso para un patinete cuando no puedo entrar en algunos locales. El candado entra justo como para anclar el vehículo a postes de un grosor medio (señales de tráfico por ejemplo). Las llaves entran de aquella manera. Según pude ver en los comentarios, hay que tener especial cuidado a la hora de bloquear y desbloquear.El cable es duro, es mejor que la mayoría de otros cables pero ni me molestaría en ponerlo en una bicicleta para atar una rueda; si alguien quiere llevársela lo hará sin demasiado esfuerzo. Es mucho mejor meterle otro candado en U, aunque sea de peor calidad.El soporte no lo he probado pero no tiene pinta de ser demasiado fiable: lo sostiene una lengueta de plástico relativamente pequeña. Estoy convencido de que con el tiempo acabará cayendo. El candado es lo suficientemente pequeño como para llevarlo incluso en una mochila pequeña, asi que no es un inconveniente tan grande.EDIT: he podido probar el soporte y ha aguantado una pequeña ruta en tierra. Hay que tener en cuenta que en un patinete eléctrico las fuerzas ejercidas sobre el soporte son mayores al ir enganchado al mástil (y por lo tanto, a todo lo que esté soportando la suspensión delantera), así que a priori parece que aguanta, no se ha movido del sitio. Una opción más segura sería llevar la U en el soporte y el cierre en algún bolsillo o mochila. Seguiré editando si ocurre cualquier cosa.Este Mini 7 es un candado perfecto para el día a día, especialmente si no vivís en ciudades enormes con un alto grado de delincuencia. ¿Hay alternativas? Kryptonite tiene una cadena de 50 cm de largo por algo más de dinero. Ofrece algo más de flexibilidad a la hora de atar el vehículo y dificulta un poco la labor de la radial de un ladrón, pero también pesa unos 500 g más. Para vehículos que superen los 1000€ iría directamente a por un Litelok X1. Son 160€ pero es el candado más portátil y barato que resiste radiales.

Très bonne qualité
Installé sur un Rockrider, il est nickel. Seul 2 petits bémols, le U aurait été un poil plus long, ça serait plus facile d’attacher vélo contre les garages à vélos des magasins;Le système qui permet de fixer l’antivol sur le cadre du vélo n’est pas compatible avec les Rockrider 340. Mais ce n’est pas bien grave, il se loge parfaitement sous la selle.
