James Gunaseelan - One of the worst fears of a bike owner is the thought of having his bike lifted. He would like to have a bike lock that cannot be broken or picked. Fortunately, there are a whole range of bike locks that are available in the market. You just need to pick the right one. Here are five locks that are quite popular: 1: ABUS Granit Extreme 59/180HB: This German brand lock is 16 mm thick and comes with the following features: --- Square parabolic shackle with a hardened steel construction for maximum resistance against bolt-cutters --- Double locking cylinder with more than a million key variations --- Runner cover to sheathe the shackle --- Sliding cover to shield keyhole from dirt. The only disadvantage of this lock is that it large and cumbersome to carry 2. Bully U-shaped Disc Lock: This is a strong lock and is not easy to pick. Its important features are: --- Double-roller-bearing locking mechanism, --- Hardened anti-drill discs --- Eight-disc hardened steel cylinder --- Specially heat-treated alloy steel construction --- Keyhole cover to keep dirt out --- Soft plastic to cover the shackle 3. Cobralinks Cable Lock: This is tough cable lock, and not easy to break. Its important features are: --- Hardened stainless steel links covering seven strands of top-quality aircraft cable --- Available in lengths of 6, 8, 10 & 12 feet --- Diameter of ¾ and 1 inch --- 10-15 pound weight --- Rolls up to make a11 inch coil --- Three keys included with patented setup 4. Kryptonite New York Disc Lock & Fahgettaboudit Security Chain: This chain and lock combo is marketed as the ultimate motorcycle lock. The hexagonal chain links made of triple-heat-treated steel are shaped to ward off attacks from bolt-cutters, saws, chisels and hammers. They have narrow inner width that does not encourage leverage assaults. The New York Disc Lock is no less impressive. It has a: --- Hardened half-inch steel shackle --- Disc-style cylinder --- Steel sleeve over the crossbar --- Double deadbolt locking mechanism --- Sliding dust covers 5. MasterLock Python 6-inch Adjustable Cable Lock: The makers of this lock market it as "the world's first fully adjustable locking cable that's always the right length". The cable that is six foot and comprises multi-strands works is easy to use. To use it, the bike owner needs to -- insert the cable into the lock -- pull tight -- turn the key.
