These are a bit heavy but the weight is worth it. They are as strong and massive as a set of leg irons. They are also a little too short if you envison using as a cable alternative. They advertise 22 inches, but that is the outside length. The practical length is 20 inches. On a typical bike rack they are great as you can lock both the bike rack and the frame within one cuff and use the other for the wheel or to lock the frame in a second location. However you may not be able to get this around a tree or light post. Depends. The replacement guarantee comes with all sorts of restrictions, so if your bike is expensive get insurance. I am giving it four stars because of the length. The links between the cuffs [very sturdy by the way] are the least expensive and lightest part of the lock. It is inexcusable that they didn’t use twice as many links. It would have made this a much more practical lock. That said, if you can live within its limitations, it is the most secure lock I’ve found.

I purchased this for my Harley Motor cycle and it worked great. Then my son took it and started using it on his $1500 road bycle. This lock is very easy to use and the “STAINLESS STEEL” chain, 9-Links are very strong. (for the guy that said it is “Pot Metal” all metal is melted in a pot?) I went to the Master Lock website and found the $3500 Master Lock Anti-Theft Guarantee. Master Lock is putting their “money where their mouth is” on this lock.
We own a few 8290DPS Master Locks now and use them on all of our bikes.
Good work Master Lock.

I JUST RECEIVED MY PAIR OF STREET CUFFS. THEY ARE A BIT BEEFIER THAN I THOUGHT, (THIS IS A GOOD THING). THEY SEEM TO BE VERY STURDY AND ABLE TO SECURE MY BIKE (A HARLEY). A WORD TO [...], GOOD JOB! I WOULD NOT HAVE PURCHASED THIS ITEM BECAUSE OF ITS PRICE, ELSEWHERE. [...] HAD A PRICE I COULDN’T PASS UP. THANKS GUYS!

Had this lock on my bike, forgot it was there, drove off with it on and it broke. No damage to my bike, this would not stop anything.

My husband and I really like these cuffs for locking up our motorcycles when we are out and about. Just a little extra safety measure to keep our bikes where we left them! I also let my daughter use one for her bicycle when she rode to school and she thought it worked well, and got lots of comments from classmates who though the lock was cool looking!
