Kryptonite KryptoFlex 1018 Cable Lock with Key, 180 cm

Kryptonite KryptoFlex 1018 Cable Lock – Keyed 180 cm Cable for Secure Bike Parking

The Kryptonite KryptoFlex 1018 is a keyed cable lock designed for everyday bicycle security. At 180 cm, it offers enough length to secure a bike to a fixed anchor point such as a bike rack or pole.

• 180 cm flexible cable provides generous reach for locking through wheels and frame to an immovable object
• Keyed lock mechanism ensures quick, tool-free locking and unlocking
• Black finish resists visible wear and blends with urban bike setups
• 24-month manufacturer warranty provides long-term protection against material defects

What makes the KryptoFlex 1018 stand out

The integrated keyed lock eliminates the need for a separate U-lock or chain for low-risk parking situations. The soft cable jacket protects the bike frame from scratches while the 180 cm length allows flexible routing through wheels and frame.

Ideal for

Daily commuters and urban cyclists who need a lightweight, fast-to-use lock for short stops at bike racks, cafés, or transit stations. Not suited as a primary lock for high-theft areas — pair with a U-lock for extended outdoor parking.

Application of the Kryptonite KryptoFlex 1018

1. Thread the cable through the bike frame and front wheel
2. Loop the cable around a fixed anchor point (bike rack, pole, or designated parking object)
3. Insert the key and turn to lock; remove the key and store it separately
4. For extended parking in higher-risk areas, combine with a U-lock or chain lock
