Compact Heavy-Duty Chain for Urban Lock-Ups
The Kryptonite 1090 Evolution Series 4 Chain Lock is built for riders who want serious security in a shorter, easy-to-handle length. At 3' (90 cm), it is long enough to lock your frame and a wheel to a solid rack or post, without leaving a lot of extra chain for thieves to work with. The flexible format makes it easier to reach awkward fixtures than a rigid U-lock, especially on crowded city racks or cargo bikes.
Hardened steel links are paired with an integrated Evolution Series 4 disc-style lock head, so there is no separate padlock to manage. A durable sleeve helps protect your frame’s finish and keeps the chain quieter when carried in a pannier, basket, or over your shoulder.
