FAQ

Why choose the 1218 over the 1018 cable lock?

The 1218 uses a 12mm cable versus the 1018's 10mm, giving you meaningfully better cut resistance at similar length. If you want the most protection available in a flexible KryptoFlex cable, the 1218 is the right choice.

Can the KryptoFlex 1218 be used as a primary lock?

It works well as a primary lock for low-risk stops and short-duration parking. For high-theft-risk environments or overnight locking, pairing it with a Kryptonite U-lock is the recommended approach.

Does the 6-foot length fit most bike rack configurations?

Yes, 6 feet is enough to loop through both wheels and a frame tube on most bike geometries, or to reach around standard bike racks and post-and-ring parking hardware.

Best For

Cyclists who want maximum cut resistance from a flexible cable lock, particularly those running a two-lock setup who need a high-gauge secondary lock with enough reach to cover both wheels.
