Sports reviews of OnGuard Brute LS 5000 Bike U-Lock
Customer Review: It really is a brute.
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
After getting a bike stolen, I started looking for some decent U-locks. Since I sometimes lock up two mountain bikes at a time, I needed one with a long shackle. The two best on the market are the Kryptonite New York LS, and the OnGuard Brute LS. The Brute is considerably cheaper, so I decided on the Brute.
As other reviewers have noted, the new, improved version I received differs from the photos on Amazon. I also noticed that the packaging markets this lock to motorcycle/scooter users, not to bicycle users. As a result, no bicycle frame mount was included. I've read reports of OnGuard's bike mount being flimsy and quickly breaking, so the lack of their mount is no big loss. I have a few TwoFish LockBlocks and BikeBlocks that I can use instead, and they are very durable solid rubber mounts.
OnGuard sure likes to give you plenty of extra keys. There is one rather large lighted key and four spares. The lighted key seems more of a gimmick, so I just carry one of the smaller spares on my keyring. Even that was a bit bulky so I cut the key's head down to a small arrowhead shape, following the molded lines in the plastic. Even if you somehow lose all five keys, you're still not out of luck. If you register the lock with OnGuard, you can always order more keys in the future.
The anti-theft insurance offer sounds like a good idea, but if you read all the fine print you'll discover there are enough loopholes to get OnGuard out of paying for most anything. No matter, I didn't buy it for its insurance policy, I bought it for its theft deterrence ability.
The lock itself is very hefty, weighing over five pounds. The shackle is 16.8mm thick, slightly better than the old version's (and Krypto's NY-LS) 16mm shackle. I had an old KryptoSTD lock and I could slightly bend the shackle because it was not hardened steel. I could not bend the Brute's hardened shackle AT ALL. Anyone who tries to cut this with a hacksaw or bolt cutters would get exhausted and give up. It may not stop a determined thief with an angle grinder (no lock can), but it will at least put up a good fight.
