looks nice, but too easy to cut with bolt cutters. they might say it is not that easy, but basic knowledge will tell you its different.

I just came across this project that's looking for funding on Kickstarter. Looks quite interesting. I'd be curious to hear people's opinions on the security and viability of this kind of lock. I certainly like the idea of securely fastening both wheels with one lock.

Is titanium really as strong as this is suggesting it is?

Testing in our workshop demonstrates that the 1.25” titanium bow survives a 48” bolt cutter attack and that sawing is extremely difficult and time consuming due to the ‘springy’ nature of the titanium bow at a third the weight of a common U-lock. Yes, these preliminary tests were done by us with our equipment, your pledge dollars will help fund testing and certification from an accredited third party.
