Kryptonite: Pioneers in Bicycle Security Since the 1970s

Kryptonite was founded by Michael Zane and has since its inception been synonymous with some of the world’s most secure bike locks.

The brand became legendary through its unconventional tests in tough urban environments. During the 70s and 80s, they locked bikes on crime-prone streets in New York City to prove the locks’ strength against real theft attempts – bikes that remained intact day after day. This uncompromising approach to security and innovative design laid the foundation for today’s range of U-locks and chains. For cyclists worldwide, Kryptonite is now the obvious choice when maximum protection and peace of mind are required in demanding environments.
