 Highly reccJul 28, 2010
The lock is great, but if you lock the way they say to keep it safe, through the rear tire and frame you might not have lots of extra room to fit it around what you are locking too, maybe consider the largerone.

Solid lockJul 11, 2010
Well I still have my bike so that's good.
The thing is solid and heavy which is good and bad.
The locking mechanism is smooth. High quality.

Kryptonite New York Standard Bicycle U-Lock with Bracket ( 4-Inch x 8-Inch)Apr 27, 2010
Great lock. Turns smoothly and works awesome. Personally, haven't tried the bracket, but if you commute to work/school, might be better to leave the lock in 1 place. I paired with with a 6 foot python masterlock cable to make it an awesome combination. I leave the lock at school due to it being heavy, but carry the cable around with me wherever I go.
Will update if I face any problems. Keys don't seem to be a problem. The lock turns really smoothly so I haven't had to deal with the flimsiness of the lock key. Just make sure it is in all the way and turn it gently. :)

You must Understand!!!! Amazing lock.Apr 23, 2010
....The New York lock, first off is nothing less of completely worth its weight. There are a lot, if not every review, complaints about the keys, delicate locking system, weight, etc.......
YOU MUST UNDERSTAND!!! KEYS- This is not a run of the mill lock. It is top of the line for its class next to the "faggetaboutit."
About the Keys and internals. ....... Yes, they key combination is one out of a million, so that means a lot of small etching and very delicate imprints, of course you can not grind it as if it were a "master lock" that you had on your locker in high school. If this lock were anything like a "master lock," it would be the equivalent of being able to use a coat hanger to break into a mercedes benz, not going to happen.
YOU MUST UNDERSTAND!!! LOCKING SYSTEM-When you put the key in the hole, you must use FINESSE, and do not grind it, if it doesn't turn, DONT GET MAD!! Slowly return to the start position and gently turn the key again, adjust depth of the key, and you will see that it takes almost no pressure at all to turn the key, just be gentle, it is a very fine mechanism but yet extremely durable.
IT IS USUALLY THE INDIAN, NOT THE ARROW.
Again, to all the complainers, if it doesn't turn, adjust the key, adjust the pressure, and treat it like a girlfriend or something you love, gently. It has a sweet spot..find it.
I ALMOST FORGOT!! It also has a $4500 Insurance if your bike is stolen, granted there are some conditions.
Once thieves see the bumblebee yellow, they don't even look twice, cause they already know there is no point trying to mess with this lock.
YOU MUST UNDERSTAND!!! WEIGHT- People complain about the weight. Again, Anything new, will seem a bit different. I your upgrading from a cheaper lock, it will feel pretty heavy, but you will get used to it, as with anything. It is made with thicker and higher quality metals, it has to weigh more, or they would just be trowing yellow stickers on 20 dollar evolution locks. It is completely weight the tiny bit of weight.
OK, So i guess that is all I have to say. Other wise it is just a great "investment" and you could even write it off on your taxes, if you use your bike for business. Crazy! Enjoy

Sturdy, Secure, ReliableApr 07, 2010
I was a little taken aback from some of the reviews that gave this a less than favorable review. I've had this bike lock for a while and I feel very confident with it. I combine it with a 7 foot kryptonite kryptoflex cable to lock the wheels to the bike as well. I went with this bike like instead of the smaller New York Kryptonite U lock because the smaller one honestly doesn't fit on have the bike stands in the city
It comes with 3 keys, one lighted and two spares. It also comes with the key code so if you for some reason lose all 3 keys you can get another made. You can also register the key online at the kryptonite website and they will have it on file in case you lose all three keys AND the key code!. The New York Lock comes with a lock guarantee valid in New York City. It is a guarantee on the LOCK, not insurance. So if your bike is stolen because the lock is BROKEN, then they will compensate you for it. For what it is, I think its a great guarantee that Kryptonite threw on to their locks. A lot of people have gripes are about this guarantee but I personally think their provisions for the guarantee are reasonable and make sense. Plus they are the only ones out there guaranteeing their lock like this so it says something about the lock you are thinking about buying.
The keys are small but not too small. They definitely are well made and I feel confident using them. The lock mechanism is EXTREMELY smooth and does not take any kind of force to open it with a key. Its impossible to open this lock with a bic pen, I checked.
As for the lock, I honestly can not even explain how well built this thing is. Its a little heavy 4.4 lbs (still not out of control heavy like a chain lock), but if you live in the city and you're afraid your bike could get stolen...this is your answer. The bike lock is solid and I'm very happy with it.
The lock also comes with a bike lock holder that you can put on your bike. That little silver thing on side of the U lock is what clamps into the lock holder. It clips in secure and you don't have to worry about it. Since the silver clip on the u lock is twistable, you can arrange it anyway you want so it will fit on your bike. I have a rebuilt vintage road bike I use it on and I have no complaints about it.
Overall I'm really happy with this purchase. I'd recommend this to any person who wants a really secure U lock.
