The lock body is wrapped in a protective silicone cover, shielding both the lock and your bike frame from scratches and scuffs. This soft layer also cushions contact points so your paintwork stays in great condition ride after ride.
Viking Silver 90 features a dual sleeve design combining a neoprene chain sleeve covered by a durable nylon sleeve. This unique feature serves the following goals: The neoprene layer restricts the motion of the chain and "softens" its hardness, making it safe for the paintwork of the bike and much quieter when riding. The top Nylon layer protects the under layer from UV radiation and scuffs.
As part of the Seatylock Viking Series, the Viking Silver 90 is among the world's only chain locks to feature a patented magnetic locking mechanism, making it a genuinely rare design in the cycling security market. This innovation means you can lock and unlock the chain with one hand, quickly and without fumbling.
The 7mm square-shaped hardened steel links are engineered to resist cutting tools better than standard round-link chains. This construction gives you dependable everyday protection whether you're locking up at the office, a café, or a busy bike rack.
The lock cylinder is built to automotive standards, offering smooth, precise key operation every time you use it. An automatic keyhole cover seals out water, dirt, and dust, keeping the mechanism working reliably through all weather conditions.
Viking Silver 90 holds a Sold Secure Silver Certification and carries a 12/18 internal security rating, giving you independently verified protection for daily urban cycling. It strikes the right balance between solid security and a lighter carry weight compared to higher-tier chain locks.
