OTTOLOCK HEXBAND: Increased Cut Resistance in a Compact Cinch Lock
The OTTOLOCK HEXBAND takes the innovative, lightweight “cinch lock” concept to the next level by significantly boosting its security features. Designed for cyclists who need better protection against cutting tools than a standard cinch lock provides—while maintaining the same unmatched portability—the HEXBAND is the go-to choice for those seeking extra peace of mind during quick stops.
Enhanced Security, Same Compact Design
While the original OTTOLOCK is perfect for very quick, low-risk stops, the HEXBAND is engineered to be extra tough. It features a reinforced structure designed to resist common theft tools like cable cutters and shears, making it a stronger deterrent for your valuable gear or bicycle.
Why Choose the HEXBAND?
- Superior Cut Resistance: The core consists of six layers of hardened stainless-steel bands(compared to three in the original model). This provides 2.5x the steel thickness for increased resistance to shearing and cutting.
- Aramid Fiber Jacket: These steel layers are wrapped in an ultra-tough Aramid fiber (Kevlar®)jacket, which adds another layer of defense against tools attempting to compromise the band.
- Ultra-Lightweight: Despite its increased strength, the HEXBAND remains impressively light, starting at just 190g. It is designed to be carried without adding noticeable weight to your ride.
- Compact & Flexible: It coils down to a tiny diameter (as small as 3 inches), making it incredibly easy to stash in a jersey pocket, saddle bag or backpack.
- Scratch Protection: The exterior is finished with a non-scratch Santoprene plastic coating to protect your bicycle’s frame paint.
- Resettable Combination: Features a secure, simple-to-use resettable 3-dial combination lock.
