Kryptonite Evolution Mini VS Pry bar 

Moral of the story.. Be weary of anyone walking down the street holding a 8 foot Pry bar.lol

My only concern is if the lock indeed held up, the bike frame would be more or less ruined especially if it was carbon.

I think the lock passed this test. If there were a bike locked in there it would have been trashed. The lock IMHO gave a good fight. thumbs up

I found a cool idea how to steal bikes in broad daylight- bring along a friend with a video camera and pretend you're doing some sort of test!

This is how the every production test should be done , until it's broken!

can you test the new york lock fahgettaboutdit mini with the pry bar, i really want to see how it will hold against the pry bar

Ha! For a while I thought the lock was going to win! I've had a kryptonite mini-7 for a couple of years now...one of the advantages of buying the smallest u-lock you can get away with is that it leaves less room to get a pry bar between the lock and the bike. Without destroying the bike, of course. But if the thief just wants to destroy the bike, no need to mess with the lock! ;-)

one thing is breaking a lock that is only attached to one bar, when you have room to manouver, don't have anything to damage, and because it's not attached to a bike and you are filming, people are not going to react to you. If you had that same lock going through a thick frame and wheels, and had to pry it open without damaging the bike it would probably work differently for you.

could you test those ones : *"KryptoLok series 2 955 Mini Integrated Chain"* and *"New York Fahgettaboudit Mini"*

Could you please test this technique with the Abus Granit X-plus 54?

as you see it brokes on the black part the part which hasnt a deadbolt which is in just one side but in the new version of this lock it has a double deadbolt so you cant do this technique anymore

For people watching this now, there's a newer version more resistant to this kind of attack.

We use the most common attack against the #Kryptonite evolution mini. #success ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9B_G3w_iAsc.html @kryptonitelock #biketheives #bike

just a 3ft piece of scaffolding pole would do the trick but would be certain to cause severe damage to or break the frame of the bike as well. Unlikely a thief use this method unless super expensive or rare components are on the bike & in this case would be much more likely to saw or crop bolt heads that attach them in 2 seconds if there are glued ball bearings.

The locks are great but man I thought Kryptonite cables that go on and protect wheels from being stolen would be very strong, but there's a video on here of a guy with a mini bolt cutters slicing through one like butter,I need to get another U-Lock to protect my front wheel.

If this was locked around bike frame and some average poll, you wouldnt be able to fit such crowbar in the u-lock.

But... had the lock been in use, rather than empty, there may not have been sufficient room to slide a pry bar in.

Why Lock Breaking Videos Are Still Done Without a Bike Attached

Maybe you guys should of tested it with a junker bike and a more practical pry bar which a thief would use.

Lol. You call that a pry bar? That's just a flimsy piece of aluminium list. Try using a real iron bar next time.

Lucky the parts didn’t fly through someone’s windshield.

Thats not a real crowbar/prybar, its just aluminum. So sorry not convinced.

what is a pry bar made of?

That bent foot design was always so stupid in the first place.

funny to see how you try to brake lock with soft metal bar. who ever do that? take a real metal bar!

That crack would have flexed making it easier for the shackle to pop out, not a very good test.

Another reason why kryptonite's single locking u locks are garbage. I believe most thiefs use a pry bar instead of bolt cutter since they draw less attention.

Does not count this lock was very old let's see you try with the latest kryptonite mini 5

That is sad...with a pry bar??

thats not fry bar

Crack is wack
