Pros and cons
Kryptonite New York Fahgettaboudit Mini
Pros
- 18 mm hardened steel shackle — the thickest in its class, even professional bolt cutters fail
- Sold Secure Diamond, the highest Sold Secure rating (comparable to ART-3)
- Double-deadbolt locking with anti-drill and anti-pull disc cylinder
- Made for high-risk spots: stations, Amsterdam centre, Utrecht Centraal
Cons
- No ART certification — some Dutch insurers strictly require an ART sticker
- At 4.2 kg far too heavy to carry in a backpack every day
Trelock FS 480 COPS
Pros
- Made in Germany with a high level of finish
- Extra slim frame mount that tucks neatly against the tube
- Patented COPS cylinder resists picking and manipulation
- Light for a folding lock in this security class at 860 g
Cons
- Slightly pricier than comparable ABUS folding locks
- The links feel a touch thinner than those on the Bordo 6000
