What do you think of these locks for high bike theft area?

I got an email for Tigr locks 20% off if purchased today using code CyBrMonday23.  The website is tigrlock.com .

Looks like they have two types-- the "blue" type around $115 and the regular one, $160.

Right now, I use an Arbus and a Kryptonite New York.  Very heavy lock, but I know my bike will be there when I come out of the store.

Thanks,
Roberta

I have the Tigr Mini and have used it for the past 4+ years. It seems quite secure and allows me to get a front wheel/frame locked in most cases. I usually pair mine with a cable to get the rear wheel. I'd recommend it if you'd like to shed the weight of a heavy Kryptonite u-lock.

I went in on the Blue version Kickstarter and have been using that lock on my E-cargo bike in conjunction with an Abus Bordo lock. No problems in the few years I have been using it.

I do like the lock. It has a wide opening and is long enough that I am usually able to attach it to what I want to lock to. It is also pretty light. I think I would always use the Tigr in conjunction with another lock on any expensive bike.  I would not trust it alone.  No real world experience as an actual lock since it doesn’t look to have been tested yet. We are a relatively low bike theft area though.
