Kryptonite Evolution Mini Bike U Lock 997931 – Reviews

the size of this lock is perfect although it was heavier than i expected. great for riding around town and the light incorporated in the key is genius.

This is my second Evo-Mini. I acquired a new bike and wanted to take advantage of the Anti-Theft Policy Krypto offers on a new lock (up to $2000 for the Evo Mini, be sure to read the fine print). Though functionally the same, Krypto has made some improvements/changes to the lock since they sent me a replacement following the Bic pen debacle of 2004. Namely, the cross bar is a bit bigger and shaped differently on the key side, and (this is a good one) the keys are redesigned so that they hang more like normal keys on a key chain-they used to have a large oval section which was roughly perpendicular to the blade of the key, now the oval section is smaller and positioned parallel to the blade.

As a side note, though this purchase was predicated largely on the Krypto Anti-Theft Policy, the best policy is to make your locked bike look too difficult, time consuming, etc to a would-be thief. To those ends, I plan on using this lock in tandem with a New York Noose chain.

There is a serious flaw to these locks: the keys open multiple Kryptonite locks. I guess they were too cheap to manufacture unique key threads for each lock. After locking my bike up in a well lit area in front of a popular eatery, I returned 15 minutes later to find the lock still attached to bike hoop without my bike. Another reviewer mentioned this problem with Kryptonite locks in Amazon reviews. However, I didn’t think much of it and regretfully purchased the Evolution Mini. Now I am out of a bike and stuck with a lock that too risky to use.

I suggest you purchase some other lock than the Kryptonite Evolution Mini.
