High-quality padlocks for maximum protection
A good bike lock is essential to protect your investment, whether at home, at work, or while traveling. Security depends on the type of lock, the materials used, and your method of attachment.
What type of padlock should I choose?
U-lock
THE U-lock is recognized as the most secure. Made of hardened steel, it offers excellent resistance to cutting and twisting attempts. Ideal for high-value bicycles and electric bikes.
Recommended brands:
• Abus
• Kryptonite
Chain lock
Robust and versatile, the chain lock allows you to secure your bike to a wider range of fixed points. Some models are covered with a protective sleeve to protect your frame.
Available at:

Folding padlock
Compact and easy to carry, the folding padlock combines security and practicality. It attaches easily to the frame and offers an excellent alternative to the traditional U-lock.
Padlock with integrated alarm
