Knog has already impressed us with a few products including bicycle lights, but now the company from down under has some bicycle locks that look like they’d be tough enough for just about any American or Australian city – and probably just about anywhere else short of an actual warzone.
U-locks tend to have weak points that make them easy to break, but the Knog Strongman features a silicone-molded steel frame that passed the Gold Standard for the security-testing firm, Sold Secure. In the company’s own in-house rating it was found that the Strongman was strong indeed – and could be used as a hitch to lift a car. Actually to the company it has a security rating of 90 out of 100, and features a 13mm hardened steel shackle, UV resistant silicone body and high security disc style lock cylinder.
