Appearance: The castle is very sturdy. Thus it scares - in my opinion - all casual thieves already by the sight from her. But it is not only so, it is also robust, so that no one rantraut in traffic areas. And against professional thieves in remote roads helps anyway no lock.
Length: The castle could be a bit longer, but it is enough to a bike at all fixed points such as street lights, etc. to join.
Mechanism: The folding mechanism, it is of course not quite as easy to handle, we other castles, but after a short adjustment period, you can easy handle it.
Attachment to the bicycle: Is made easy by the compact when folded, it depends on the frame clean and nothing is in the way. In addition, the lock is held by a rubber flap in the holder. So you can sometimes cross country drive without the part "cuts off".
Weight: clear, the part is relatively heavy. But that is in the nature of things, because who wants a secure lock, which must choose robust. And that has now times its weight.
Overall, therefore, a strong buy recommendation.
