OTTOLOCK Cinch Lock

Not seen anything here in New Zealand that matched the versatility of the Ottolock, use them everyday when out and about on my E - Mountain bike which is expensive so need a good and convenient lock to keep it secure. Been used in all weathers with no problems.

A bit stiff to start with getting the end through the lock but has worn in so much better now.

I purchased this lock to take with me on travel to secure my Brompton. I purchased the longest length so I could secure it through the folded bike. It worked perfectly and the lighter weight was just what I was looking for. I was previously using a big cable lock that had some weight to it. The Ottolock was a much better lock for me.

I really like your locks, but I found that the shorter one is too short to tie my bike to a tree, so i bought the longer one which works very well. I should have also purchased one of your new attachment straps as the new lock is a little heavy for the old smaller strap.

Great product and easy to use - I purchased two for my bike. Orange color is highly visible to show my bike is locked. Lightweight and easily fits in backpack.

Couldn’t love this product more. It removes the anxiety from quick stops during long rides. I’ve even used it as extra security for a bike on my roof rack. I happily recommend it to everyone.

I have a 30" Ottolock which I really like, it is long enough to immobilize the bike but not really long enough to attach to a tree or something permanent that stops the bike being carried away. So I have ordered the 60".

I've used the 18" and 30" models. The 30" is ideal if you want to include a wheel and frame tube when locking up. See Size Selector on the site for details. I use this for my bike and also my skis when stashing them in the backcountry and resort racks. Light, burly, easy to pack. The combo is a big plus v. keyed locks I've previously used. I've given a half dozen as gifts as well. LOVE this lock.

Simple to set up and use, light, and small. Perfect!

I've had this lock about 4 weeks and carry it as a back up for bike commuting and as my primary for running errands, the gym

Pros: lightweight, flexible, better than a cable and lighter and more adaptable than a u-lock. Have not encountered a theft attempt, but seems relatively safe.

Cons: not major, but the locking mechanism sticks at first, but have worked through that. The rotors on the lock are small and you can't work them with full finger gloves on. They are a bit hard even without gloves.

Great lock overall and with some tweaks, will be a 5 star product

My brand new 750W electric fat bike sports both an 60" Ottolock and an ORP with a Remorp. From an advanced on-board computer, iPhone with bluetooth connectivity, Zackees turn signal LED gloves. GPS locator built into the bike and now an Ottolock and an ORP, this is the most technically advanced electric vehicle in the state of Rhode Island. Sompin bad is definitely gonna happen!

I received this lock as part of a larger purchase and I must say to my surprise it’s the best gift thanks flashbike and Otto lock.

I searched and read reviews looking for a lightweight yet secure lock for our quick stops in restaurants and such, this lock is the answer. It weighs very little, folds up small ( we bought two 30 inch models) and fits easily in our small saddle bags. Easy to use, I would rate it 5 stars but for the number rotation system. I wish the individual number dials had a stronger detention system, my fingers too easily bump and move the adjoining dials when setting to combo. But love this lock.

The customer service provided by Ottolock is outstanding. My wife has been using a lock daily since May 2017. The tip broke and she asked me to see if I could fix it. It could not be fixed. Since it is a relatively new product I thought Ottolock would like to know about the tip problem. I sent pictures. I knew there was no warranty. I was totally blown away when within 30 minutes of my email to Ottolock I had a reply! They knew about the problem and replaced the 2 locks we had purchased in May 2017. It appears they have fixed the problem. Time will tell. This is incredible customer service deserving of all stars. We like how the lock stores easily and is easy to use. We actually use one when we are gone on holiday to provide an additional lock our French doors. Definitely a product we will recommend to friends and family.

This lock is super light and handy. I bought this as part of kickstarter and I’m glad I have it. I mean, I’ve had a krypto lock forever but should nice it weighs a ton I never have it when I need it. However, I’d say the smallest size would be as tough to use as the u-lock and the 30” doesn’t measure to that distance after being locked in... so if weight is everything and the 80 grams difference helps you to carry it everywhere which I do in my camelback, that’s sensible. Still every time I use it I wish it just a bit was longer. I vote for version 2 with a 45” option. If I get another one it’ll be the bigger size.

Got this lock as apart of Kickstarter. We have been using this lock pretty regularly for riding around the city, bike camping, and long distance rides. The lock is lightweight and the ease of use is the best part. Fits in any bag, jersey or pants pocket for any adventure, and we hardly even know it’s there. We both love the lock very much, however the metal core has started to poke its way from the bottom of the silicone. It’s almost always exposed at this point, with the Kevlar now showing. While the lock still works, it is now forced into a bag as it’ll snag clothing or could even scratch the bike frame. Overall awesome lock, just needs a tweak in design so the core has room to move when it gets rolled up.

You'll will never want another lock until you've tried this one. I carry 2 locks, the Ottolock is my main goto lock. It's easy to use, stores nicely and is lite-weight. I have the 30-inch lock which is long enough.

I love this lock, but I'm finding the 30" length makes it hard for me to lock my bike up to anything with a diameter larger than 6 inches. My bike's frame is carbon and I don't want to put the frame directly up against what ever I'm locking the bike to.
To solve this problem I've ordered the 60" model.
If you have any doubts about what length you need go with the longer version. I

Had an issue resetting the combo and since they were closed for the holidays I sent a message.... Tamy got back to me and walked me thru the reset.... The reset pin needs to be pressed in firmly pay the first little click.... Thank you for the reply and not making me wait till Tuesday.... Probably ordering another to daisy chain them

My early (KickStarter) OttoLock became difficult to operate as rubber wore off the tip. I sent a photo to the company, and they sent me a free replacement within a week. The new lock has a reinforced tip.

I ordered my Ottolock and when it came I could not change the lock combination or get it to work properly. Once I got hold of the company, Amy was fantastic in resolving my problem, calling me 3 times to help me and make sure my lock was working properly. Now that is a company who stands behind their product!

Ottolock is beyond excellent. Having a VERY light lock that you can carry around with minimal effort but that is still robust enough to ensure that you prized machine doesn't walk away while you run an errand is PRICELESS! I use my frequently for coffee stops on training rides or for errands going to and from work. It's perfect for quick stops. Would recommend 100%.

After a very long wait my locks arrived, with an unwelcome and unexpected bill from the shippers. My $100 Ottolock purchase ended up costing $165, with $25 shipping, £19 VAT, and £11 "handling fee". My advice - don't even think about buying this lock if you live outside the USA. Customer service didn't even respond to my concerns about these unexpected additional charges.

OTTOLOCK is light weight, non scratching, very quick and easy to use and most important...secure. Cannot be cut with bolt cutters. It fits easily in jersey pocket without knowing it is there, or use frame attachment holder that comes with the lock.

The small lock is a perfect size for me to lock my bike with another to prevent a 'grab-and-ride' while we stopped for coffee...don't have to constantly keep an eye on our bikes!

I suggest also offering a bike lock with a longer strap.

I ride a Cannondale "Super V 3000", where the Top Tube connects from part way down the Down Tube, not from the Head Tube. The lock works fine on bike posts where I park parallel to the stand. But the lock is too short to use on the bike racks where you put the front wheel in. Another foot longer would be all I needed.

Took advantage of the early Kickstarter offers, and it was a long wait... but the wait was worth it. Small investment to hang on to my very overpriced ride. LOL Now I can enjoy a beverage out, without constantly checking on the status of my bike. Purchased both the 18" & 60" . Big one for family outings, or to bring along on RAGBRAI, as sometimes, bikes unfortunately, disappear.

Part of being a cyclist is stopping at the coffee shop on every ride, or the local watering hole post ride. With the otto lock, you can get your hardest training days in without worry and also keep your machine safe no matter where you decide to stop. Peace of mind and relaxation is all key to good performance. This lock allows for all.

I've been using my ottolock for a couple of weeks now and it is a total game changer for me. Not having to carry a u-lock has made my day to day so much better! The lock works great and I love it.

My locks arrived this week and I love them. So easy to stow in my jersey pocket or rack trunk bag and so lightweight. It's perfect for those urban adventures where I just want to stop, lock and shop for a few minutes or grab coffee. I also plan to take on my longer rides where I don't need an overnight lock but need a lock for the stops. I would recommend the lock to friends.

In one word this is a GREAT lock. It conveniently attaches to your frame, fits easily in a pack, jersey pocket or just around your arm. The combination means you don't have to worry about a key and the innovative strap easily fits around poles or stands to secure your bike. This is a great lock for moving around town and safely securing your bike as you pick up something from the store, grab a espresso, or catch a movie. A great new lock for our growing bike culture.

In the past, when headed to the coffee shop to meet friends, my routine was: wallet, check. Keys, check. Cell phone, check, Mini U-lock.... ugh. I constantly found myself looking for a small hip pack or bag just to carry my u-lock. My u-lock is heavy, bulky and doesn't give me many locking options for a short ride to run errands. I love that my 18" Ottolock can attach to virtually any place on my bike frame that I can dream up OR it can pack down and into a pocket. The Ottolock is incredibly lightweight and convenient. Obviously I wouldn't use the Ottolock for overnight security, but to go for a 3+ hour road ride and stop on the way home for snacks and not have to worry about checking on my bike while I am eating is an amazing feeling.

I've had my OTTOLOCK for 3 days. I've used it to lock my bike up in about 10 different places in downtown San Francisco. It's awesome. I even saw a guy try to take my bike (because the otto is pretty small). He gave it a few yanks, and gave up. The lock is light, bright (I have orange), and just cool.

Got my OTTOLOCK last week and it is FANTASTIC! No more carrying around my bulky u-lock when I'm running quick errands. I still use the u-lock to keep my bike secure for overnight safety, but when I'm headed out to lunch or an errand I only take my OTTOLOCK. Frame attachment strap works great, but I usually just put the lock in my pocket - its that small and light weight. THANK YOU!
