LOCK KRY U EVOLUTION MINI-7 3.25×7 w4CBL

Protect your bike from theft wherever you roam with the Kryptonite Evo Mini 7 U-shaped bicycle lock. Equipped with a 4-foot KryptoFlex looped cable in addition to the lock itself, the Evo Mini 7 is an ideal choice for urban environments and college campuses. The lock’s strength stems from the 13mm hardened Max-Performance steel shackle, which is designed to resist bolt cutters and leverage attacks. The shackle is 1.5 inches longer than previous incarnations, so you have plenty of room to wrap the cable around your front wheel and lock it securely. Cyclists will also love the innovative EZ-Mount transportation system, which fits on the adjustable spline and allows for multiple offset fitments to better align the lock for transportation.
The Evo Mini 7 boasts a 9 ranking on the Kryptonite 1-12 comparison system, which ranks the varying levels of security within the company’s product range. A lock that ranks 1 on the Kryptonite scale might work if you live in the burbs and have a Rottweiler parked next to your bike or motorcycle. A 9, by contrast, isn’t the toughest rating on the Kryptonite scale, but it’s pretty darned close. Other security-enhancing features include a high-security Bent Foot design, a reinforced cuff over the hardened crossbar and cylinder that protects the disc-style cylinder; and a center keyway that defends against leverage attacks. As a bonus, the lock includes three stainless-steel keys, including one with a high-intensity LED bulb for convenient, easy unlocking in the dark. The lock measures 7 by 3.25 inches.
About Kryptonite
In the early 1970s, Michael Zane was a free-spirited, bearded kid with a VW van and a big idea for a new kind of lock. He traveled thousands of miles showing the unique U-shaped locking device and spreading his passion for bicycle security to bike dealers all around the country and forged lifetime relationships. The company soon expanded its product line to include power sports, hardware, and snow sports security. Through innovative product designs, cutting-edge marketing savvy, legendary customer service, and pure fanaticism for security, Kryptonite grew with a cult-like following. In 2001, the company that was started in a VW van was purchased by industry giant Ingersoll Rand and became a flagship brand in the company’s Security Technologies sector. Publications such as Bicycling, Fortune, The Wall Street Journal, US News & World Report, and a host of others continued to tout Kryptonite products as the best on the market.
The company’s dedication to its customers is best represented by its actions during the fall of 2004, when it was discovered that the industry-standard tubular cylinder could be compromised, at times, with a household item. Kryptonite flew into action, created a voluntary lock exchange program, and replaced more than 400,000 locks in 21 countries for free. In essence, the company redesigned the equivalent of nine years worth of new products in just 10 short months. Kryptonite is the only company in the world that offered such a comprehensive plan to customers, taking its “legendary customer service” pledge to new heights.
