What Makes the KryptoFlex 1218 the Toughest Cable Lock?

The Kryptonite KryptoFlex 1218 Cable Lock steps up cut resistance with a 12mm braided steel cable, the thickest diameter in the KryptoFlex series, built for riders who want more confidence from a flexible cable format. At six feet long, it has enough reach to secure a frame and both wheels to most fixed objects, and the four-digit resettable combination means no key to lose on a ride. The extra diameter over lighter cables makes opportunistic cutting significantly more difficult.

A vinyl protective coating prevents the cable from scratching your frame or components, and the combination dial resets so you can lock it to a code you will remember. The 1218 hits a smart middle ground for cyclists who need more protection than a lighter-gauge cable provides but still want the versatility and reach a flexible lock delivers, whether running it solo at lower-risk spots or doubling it up with a U-lock as a complete two-lock system.
