Tex—lock
An innovative textile-based lock, composed of high-tech materials
Tex—lock is an innovative textile-based lock, composed of high-tech materials, making it secure, flexible and lightweight.
A test using a bolt cutter demonstrates the resilience of the rope. While common steel products give up fast, tex-lock withstands the attack. Even the use of ice-spray doesn’t help the potential thief. The colder it gets, the higher the cutting resistance of the fibers becomes.
Modern leisure equipment continues to evolve into lighter and higher quality variations. Necessary anti-theft devices are continually produced with steel. Most bike locks are rigid, cumbersome and heavy.
The rope offers a completely new look, touch & feel. It is very comfortable to handle and flexible enough to fit easily into your pocket, bag or cycling jersey.
