Altor Highlight: The SAF Lock
Pros: Bike thieves will hate you. Cons: Your friends with flimsier bike locks will hate you too. The SAF Lock, available for pre-order at https://altorlocks.com/collections/saf-lock.
Huge fan, I've been showing all my friends this up-armored RV Lock! Keep disrupting the lock industry!
The strongest lock in the world, without a doubt. Thieves will move on to easier targets when they see this monster!! Very well made with good coating protection to avoid bike damage. Obviously the weight is unavoidable if you want the strongest lock in the world, but there are two relatively minor problems that could be easily be resolved. The lock is a bit awkward to use. Not a very positive key insertion, so a bit fiddly. And for ebikes with larger frames, the lock is just a bit too small. Obviously an increase in size means an increase in weight, but it would be worth it to to suit ebikes which need more protection due to their higher cost. But, still the best lock for peace of mind.
I bought a 2-pack of Altor Ti locks about 5 years ago, and I went through several bike-frame lock holders that had a weak point where you attach the strap, and they kept breaking. After replacing them a few time I stopped, and went 3 years using those 12" long reusable rubber twisty ties to strap my lock to the bike. I went back to the website recently to find them redesigned with the weak point eliminated, and bought two. Arrived fast, and there is NO WAY these will break now. Very happy!
