- Textile sleeve protects paint and prevents rattle
- Sharply priced — one of the cheapest ART-2 chain locks on the market
Cons
- Thinner links than the ABUS CityChain 1010 — mechanically more basic
- Cylinder is less sophisticated than ABUS Plus or X-Plus
Kryptonite New York Fahgettaboudit Mini

- 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
