At approximately 365g, it adds considerably less weight than a heavy-duty chain, while the 100cm length remains useful around most common bike racks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe would choose this model over the combination version if you prefer the speed and simplicity of a keyed lock. The UHMWPE sleeve is another worthwhile feature because it provides an additional cut-resistant layer and reduces the chance of the chain marking the frame.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe lighter 4mm chain is best suited to short stops and lower-risk locations. We would not rely on it as the only security for a high-value bike left unattended for a long period.
