FAQ

How does the KryptoFlex 815 compare to the 1018 and 1218 models?

The 815 uses an 8mm cable, making it the lightest and most packable KryptoFlex option. The 1018 is 10mm and the 1218 is 12mm. Choose based on how much cut resistance you need versus how light you want to travel.

Is the 5-foot length enough to secure a wheel and frame?

Yes, 5 feet is enough to loop through a wheel and around a frame tube, or through both wheels with the frame leaned against a rack. For longer reach, the 1018 and 1218 both offer 6 feet.

Can I use the KryptoFlex 815 on its own without a U-lock?

For low-risk, short-duration stops it works fine on its own. For any situation involving higher theft risk or longer unattended parking, pair it with a U-lock or heavier chain lock.

Best For

Weight-conscious riders who want a packable secondary cable lock for quick stops on road or gravel rides, or cyclists looking for a lightweight companion lock to pair with a primary U-lock or chain.
