Kryptonite New York 1210 Heavy Duty Bike Chain Lock for E-Bikes, Motorcycles, and Scooters

The Kryptonite New York 1210 lock stands out as a premier solution for urban riders seeking top-tier theft protection. Designed specifically to combat the threats posed by would-be thieves in bustling cities, this high-security lock features a robust 12mm, six-sided chain constructed from 3T hardened manganese steel, ensuring exceptional strength and durability. The chain is not only strong, but also comes with a protective nylon cover that is held securely in place by hook-and-loop fasteners, adding another layer of defense.

Included with the New York 1210 is the cutting-edge Evolution Series 4 disc lock, which is paired with a 14mm Max-Performance steel shackle. This combination provides an advanced level of security, fortified by a patented oval hardened steel crossbar that is designed to withstand the toughest attempts at unauthorized access.

Moreover, the New York 1210 incorporates a hardened double deadbolt locking mechanism that enhances its holding power, ensuring that it remains secure under various conditions. The lock also features a high-security disc-style cylinder which offers an impressive range of over one million potential key variations, further complicating attempts at theft. This cylinder is reinforced with an anti-drill and anti-pull protection system, bolstering its resilience against sophisticated theft tactics.

To prolong the operational lifespan of the lock, a sliding dust cover is integrated, safeguarding the cylinder from dirt and debris. Included with your purchase are three stainless steel keys, one of which is equipped with a high-intensity bulb and a replaceable battery for added convenience in low-light situations. The product boasts dimensions of 3.25 feet (100 cm) in chain length and a shackle diameter of 14mm.

The New York 1210 ranks at an impressive 10 on Kryptonite’s 1-12 scale of security, ideal for users residing in moderate to high-crime areas. While a lock that scores a 1 may be sufficient in suburban environments, urban dwellers require a more formidable deterrent, which is precisely why the New York 1210 is engineered for extreme security.

Kryptonite’s reputation for durability and innovation has been earned through rigorous real-world tests. For instance, in 1972, a significant test emerged when Kryptonite founder Michael Zane locked a bicycle to a signpost in New York City's Greenwich Village. Despite thieves stripping the bicycle's removable parts within days, the bike itself remained secure for an entire month, demonstrating the lock’s resilience against multiple attacks.

In a subsequent challenge issued by the New York Post in 1994, Kryptonite’s New York lock was affixed to a new bicycle in one of the city’s highest crime districts for 48 hours. Over this period, the lock withstood numerous attempts at theft, proving its mettle even in adverse conditions.

As an innovative brand founded by Zane, who traveled extensively to promote his locking mechanism, Kryptonite has evolved significantly. Today, the brand, acquired by Ingersoll Rand in 2001, continues to thrive, well-regarded for its state-of-the-art security solutions. The company remains dedicated to customer service, highlighted by its proactive measures during a vulnerability discovered in 2004, where it offered free replacements for compromised locks, showcasing its commitment to consumer trust.

In summary, the Kryptonite New York 1210 is not just a lock, but a commitment to keeping your bike secure, no matter where urban life takes you.
