Frankly, bike locks suck. Any lock worthwhile in terms of protection weighs a ton, which pretty much counters any efforts we’ve made to shed weight off our bikes, and mounting the damn thing isn’t any easier. While most bike lock makers were twiddling their thumbs, TiGr was Kickstarted into existence to remedy these issues. With a weight of under 1.5 lbs (or 1 pound for the narrow version) and its distinctive long shape, TiGr wraps nicely around the top tube for easy unobtrusive transport and is surprisingly durable against attack. And don’t worry, it’s wrapped in PVC so it won’t scratch your frame.
