The bike lock looks more like for a XXL bike or motorbike. I'm running with it like in the photo of my XL bike. I mount it on bike with mount.

This is a tank. It is not invincible and should be considered as theft deterrent, not prevention of theft. The overall quality is outstanding. To me, almost identical to the more costly branded Kryptonite locks.
I am happy with the product, but there are a few places need to be improved. The cable is a little too short. It's just under 48.' While this might be long enough to loop through a front tire, it doesn't give you much room to do much more with it. Second, I find it a bit annoying that the lock isn't spring loaded.
You need a key to unlock a traditional padlock, but some can close just by pressing on it. You need to lock and unlock with the key.

Good antitheft big enough to attach the bikes anywhere. It is sold with a cable allowing to attach easily the wheels and a fixation for the frame.
Nathan
Finally a lock that allows me to padlock the rear wheel at a fixed point, while taking the front wheel with the cable. Big advantage: a single key to manage the device.
Clearly when a thief has the choice between several bikes, he will not take the most complex lock.
The antitheft is very heavy and seems robust.

Solid part, only attachment in the e-bike is difficult because of the battery!

I'm very happy with my new bike lock. It fits perfectly with my folding bike. The lock offers a high level of security and is very well made. For the small price, the lock is very good and safe. It is definitely recommendable.

Shipping went super fast. I first wanted to buy a lock from Abus, but they were too expensive for me, so I thought I would try the ones from viavelo. I am really positively surprised. I've been using it for about 2 weeks now and I did not have any problems with it even in rain and bad weather. It looks very nice and looks absolutely sturdy. In addition, the cable length is great.

Cheap, easy to handle, and practical.

The castle itself makes a very good impression. It does its services and is reliable. My bike is still here :)

This lock is incredible for the cost. It's a great value. The u bar is made of very dense steel, which would definitely be hard to cut through. I've looked at 5x cost offers that have a smaller bar. Maybe the markup has to do with the inside locking system, but this one seems to be quite safe. The pattern on the key appears complex, so picking the lock wouldn't be a trivial challenge-but it's difficult for me to judge as I'm not an expert.
With the lock, you get 3 spare keys and a little code card to request additional copies from the maker. It also comes with a convenient cable extension to wrap around the wheels and a mount for installation on your bicycle. I haven't used this latter, so I can't comment.
It's very nice customer service. There was an issue with the first lock I got, so I approached them by email. They answered in hours and sent me a fresh one, no questions asked.
My mind is more comfortable knowing that my bike is secured with something like this. Using a straightforward combination cable lock, I left it parked at my college overnight and saw how easily those can be defeated. U-locks are definitely the way to go, and you can't match the value that you get with this one. Overall, I am very pleased with this buy.

This lock is sturdy enough. It comes with 3 keys as well as distinctive code label so you can order more if you lose all 3 of them.
However, I can see someone losing this label easily.
It can be connected to a frame of a bicycle. The steel cable provided with it is long enough to loop through the front wheel or extra bicycles to lock several in one time. For example, useful in a garage.

The item does the work it was intended to do. Long enough to wrap through the frame around the back tire to stay where you lock up the bicycle. The cable and bicycle combo is likely one of the best deal you can get and it looks like the best quality. The rain seems to put a bit of rust, but I think that's normal to all metal bike locks so you can't really complain about that. Only downside might be the dust-cover system-sometimes a little difficult to twist but just a minor mistake. Mine went missing a screw and immediately customer service took care of that issue. This business is one that I would certainly purchase from in the future if needed and certainly recommend this product.

I'm so pleased that I purchased this lock for one of my bicycles. The quality and thickness of this lock is amazing, you could pay double the cost of this quality lock.
It's simple to use and comes with a mounting bracket that fits on my frame. The keyhole has a cover so no dirt or particles can get inside.
It comes with 2 keys and an extra 3rd key that actually has a light attached so I can lock and open it at night.
The cable is about 4 feet long and enables me to safely lock both my front and back wheel.
I don't think that any bolt cutter could get through the steel lock or wires, and the key has a pick-proof layout.
It's a nice thick, secure lock and I can't believe the excellent price I've get from Via Velo. If you're on the market for a high-quality lock at an inexpensive cost, this is the one for you.

This lock is great for people with mountain bikes or hybrid bicycles with larger frames, who leave their bicycle out in a dangerous region for long periods of time, or just like large U locks for adaptability purposes. It is not so good for people with road bikes, worries about weight, or just need to lock up their bicycle when they run in for a coffee.
I got this lock for a road bike, but because it's quite large, it didn't fit on the frame with a water bottle. It is larger than most locks and heavier. If you're searching for a lighter lock, check out the folding lock of Via Velo!
Via Velo seems to be a good business. They reacted very rapidly to my original negative assessment and helped me find a better choice. I'm sure they'd be just as prompt to help solve a defective product or any other needs you might have with your bike lock.
Ethan
The lock is well made and can be opened / closed. The bracket on the bike now lasts a few weeks. The removal from the holder is not a problem.
However，the lock is very heavy. Only the castle weighs 1100 gr. That should be considered if you want to have a light bike.
I do not use the rope at the moment, because it is too complicated for me to attach it to the bike that does not bother me.
The LED light in the key I have not needed so far, because so far I had turned off my bike in slightly lit areas.

I am a Japanese mountain biker.
Japanese can build good bike parts like Shimano,
but bike lock unfortunately not, so I have so far the bike locks of
Kryptonite used.
I opted for this bike lock this time because it adds
Cable is there.
What I noticed first, the cable of 1.20m is a bit short for my bike, so frame,
Front and rear wheels to protect saddle lintels.
I wrote about it on Sunday to Via Velo, if I can exchange it with the cable of 1.78m.
Via Velo responded to it on Sunday and I got a new cable on Tuesday.
I've never experienced anything like that in my long life - best service ever.
Price / performance ratio was great!
