The U- Kryptonite Evolution Mini-5 KRY002062 bike lock is a compact anti-theft device designed to offer a high level of protection whilst remaining easy to carry around on a daily basis. With its 13 mm hardened steel shackle, dual locking mechanism and high-security cylinder, it is a solution particularly well-suited to urban bikes, city bikes, e-bikes and everyday journeys.

The Mini-5’s dimensions of 8.3 x 14 cm prioritise compactness: this reduces the space available around the lock, thereby limiting the potential for lever-based attacks. However, its compact size means that the anchor point and the part of the bike to be secured must be chosen carefully. Kryptonite states a weight of 1.20 kg for product code 002062.

The KRY002062 comes with a FlexFrame-U bracket, three stainless steel keys and a vinyl cover designed to protect the frame from scratches. Kryptonite rates it at a security level of 7/10 and offers theft protection of up to €2,250 in Europe, subject to the terms and conditions of the manufacturer’s schemes.

A compact and sturdy U-lock

The main advantage of the Evolution Mini-5 lies in its combination of compact size and high strength. Its 13 mm MAX-Performance hardened steel shackle is designed to withstand attacks with bolt cutters and attempts to pry it open. The double deadbolt also enhances protection against twisting attacks.

The high-security disc-type cylinder is designed to resist picking and drilling in particular. The new version also features a sliding dust cover to protect the internal mechanism.

A particularly attractive Mini size for city use

Measuring just 14 cm in length and 8.3 cm in width, the Mini-5 is significantly more compact than a standard Evolution U-lock. This design offers a security advantage: the less free space there is inside the loop, the harder it is for a thief to position certain tools.

The flip side is simple: the small size limits the locking options. It is particularly suitable when you can position the bike close to a bike rack or fixed point and easily secure the frame.

Easy to carry with the FlexFrame-U bracket

Despite its compact size, the Evolution Mini-5 weighs around 1.20 kg according to the current specifications on Kryptonite. The supplied FlexFrame-U mount allows you to carry the lock directly on the bike frame rather than in a bag or pannier.

The mounting system is therefore particularly useful for cycle commuting and daily urban journeys, where the lock needs to be readily available at all times without getting in the cyclist’s way.
