Sports reviews of Kryptonite New York Standard Bicycle U-Lock with Bracket ( 4-Inch x 8-Inch)
Customer Review: Probably best U-Lock you can use
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
Great U-Lock
This lock is much beefier than you realize once you handle it. You get use to it, but just know that this is a tough one.
At level 11, it's almost the best (out of the 1-12 scale). It's just one level less than the 6" NY Lock, but it's larger area makes it more versatile.
Regarding the majority of negative feedback:
Weight - It's heavy, but it's not like a cinder block or anything. It's still quite manageable for a highly ranked U-lock, so it's what you expect it to be. Also, other locks that compare, especially the chains, are much more heavier, making this one of the best choices for a weight to security ratio. Also, be aware that Kryptonite has lighter locks and models available. If people don't like a heavier, tougher lock, get a different one. Ignore negative feedback on a product that lists the weight and states what it's suppose to do. It was never a light u-lock and wasn't intended to. That's what the Evolution Series 4, or Series 2/Kryptolocks are.
Keys - Many complaints about keys and how they break off. Perhaps, there are older versions that aren't as good, but like other models I own, I can see why keys may break. The cuts on the keys are closer to the end of the key, making it weaker where you need the strength. The key has some length to it because of the depth of the keyhole. If the key is not inserted into the lock all the way, you will only turn a few of the discs that can turn with the key. It will not turn completely, which means you have to turn back and push down farther. People may be still trying to turn it, which can make the key break off into the keyhole. If you understand how the keyhole mechanism works, it may help as a reminder when you use it.
Transportation Bracket - This may be the only disappointment, but it's not really. Included with your lock is a "Free" bracket to connect to your bike. Sorry, but I'm not basing the security of my bike and mechanical stamina of a cheap freebee. Yes, the bracket isn't that great but it works. I am a big believer in the added value of high quality accessories and attachments for products, in this case a carrying piece. The old-school style holder for the tube key models was a big part of it, however, I'd rather have a better lock. If I came back to find my stolen bike and a broken lock on the ground, I'm sure I wouldn't be thinking about the mounting bracket.
All in all, I feel much more secure with this lock. It's a good price for the level of security this lock provides out of other choices.
