Reviews and Testimonials from TIGR Bike Lock Users:
“After my <heavy> U-lock was cut through with an angle grinder I realized there is no such thing as a theft-proof bike lock, so I might as well have one that is reasonably sound, and doesn’t weigh so much. Thanks Tigr! Great design!”
-I. G., Seattle, WA
“This (TIGR Mini) is by far the finest lock I have ever purchased. It is functionally elegant and simple in operation. I had wanted a secure lock that was easy to use and provided security in a small form factor. The mount works perfectly and I was able to mount it over the frame holes with my pump underneath it. The lock doesn’t move and is easy to grab, lock and go — plus I have the peace of mind knowing the bike will be there when I get back.“

“The best, lightest, dopest lock in the world!”
-Oakland, CA
“I’m a big fan of your locks. I’ve been using them for two years and can’t live without them now.”
-Louis
“What we really liked about the TiGR Mini was its design. The shape itself makes it easy to lock the frame and a wheel to almost anything, and the mount that replaces the bottle cage on the seat tube works seamlessly.”
-Active.com
“Lightness, speed and ease of locking bike without having to use the key, the easiest lock to attach to a Brompton. Fantastic!”
-John
“Thank you for making such an excellent product — I use it everyday as part of my commute.”
-Peter
“This is my second TIGR Lock. Love being able to mount the lock on my top tube. Have used U-locks and various chain/cable style locks in the past but never liked the mounting options on my bike or the added weight. I use this on my road bike for commuting to/from work and even on my last metric century ride. I didn’t need it on the ride, just forgot to take it off. Very impressed”
-R.C.
“The lock itself is genius. I love how simple the mechanism is. Very elegant.”
– Z.K.
“TIGR lock is great. So great in fact, that when I smashed my bike recently the TiGr lock was about all that survived. Pretty much held my bike together while the frame crumbled.”
– D.P.
“Really happy with the lock, by the way – it doesn’t quite work in the way it is intended with my custom Airnimal Chameleon (just because of the nature of the folding mechanism and shape of the rear end of the frame) but it definitely does a good job … Better than anything I’ve had on my previous bikes, anyway! If nothing else, I’m sure it just confuses many would-be bike thieves …”
– S.F.
“Love the lock, got one for my gf’s bike as well.”
– P.B.
“Your company is wonderful — and I’ve been an evangelist for Tigr Lock since I first got mine. Many people ask about it, and I love to show off the sleek design and demonstrate how it works. I began riding in the streets of NYC just two years ago, and I’ve come a long way — moving from an upright hybrid to my new road bike last week. I plan to ride the NY Century on September 7 (I’m not ready for the full 100, but I’ll see how far I can go!), and I realized that I’ll need the Standard Tigr lock for protection during that event. Again, many thanks — and I will continue to spread the word about your wonderful company.”

“I recently bought a 1.25” lock from you; it arrived safely in Australia yesterday! I got your “thanks”. And wonderful it is, too!!! In fact, everything about it appeals… it is sleek, light, looks stunning, elegant design, efficient, strong, and as cycle locks go, interesting!! Even the packaging is a designer piece! You have clearly thought about this lock and its place in the world with great depth. Most appealing.”

“versatility, practicality”
“It looks great with my bike, I hate U-locks (carrying two of them to lock my wheel and frame) and they are bulky and heavy. TiGr can fit in more places more often, is lighter, and looks better.”
“well designed”
“Lightweight Strong”
“I wanted something that could secure both my quick-release wheels as well as the frame and be convenient enough that I would carry it all the time.”
“I carry it in a front basket. I chose it because my bike is expensive and it is in everyday use.”

“Easy of carry: A lock you don’t have with you does you no good. I always have my lock on my bike, commute, recreation, century, always. Ease includes both the single piece (I was using a mini ulock and a cable) and the weight. ”
“security, convenience & unusual design”
“$8,000. Bike…
I carry mine in the bottle carrier mounted on the seat tube; using the lock to secure it above the top tube. The lock fits nicely between the bottom bracket and the saddle. Mounting the lock this way works so well that I have wanted to send an image to you guys. I also slipped a section of 700c tube over the lock cylinder to keep out dirt and it’s less likely to slip from my sweaty hand.
…very happy that I invested in your lock.”
“Weight savings and security boost over U-lock. Also elegance and delight of locking experience.”
“Peace of mind”
“Because I was moving to New York City and the light weight.”
“I like it a lot!”
