Worse than a lock
No, I do not recommend this product
After 1 month it wouldn't unlock. The key just turned all of the way around. I called a locksmith who said the pins were broken, he used an angle grinder to cut through it in 20 seconds. I like the attempt at a new design, but it has some fatal flaws still.

Lock Mechanism is Poor
No, I do not recommend this product
Cable link system seems a good concept, but the actual locking mechanism was challenging to use and broke within a month. Additionally, the plastic tubing sleeve on the cable isn’t secured and slips, making it challenging to seat the cable in the lock and secure it. After I cut the sleeve shorter, this was resolved. A few uses later, and the lock would not unlock, leaving me stranded with my bike locked up. While the keys would no longer work, I was able to twist and pull the cable in such way that it eventually broke free (with my bare hands!) and I was able to retrieve my bike. The lock had less than 20 uses when this occurred

truly terrible
No, I do not recommend this product
I used it for six months without a problem, until the lock broke and my bike was locked outside of a target. In a panic, I checked the reviews and was inspired by the other reviews. I broke it off myself in 20 seconds. Can’t believe I debated buying an angle grinder.

REI won’t let you return it
No, I do not recommend this product
Don’t know how to update the review but they said I can’t return it for “misuse” because I snapped it open lol. FYI to anyone, please don’t buy this

Sadly, Typical Junk from Delta Cycle
20-30+ years ago, I would regularly buy/use Delta Cycle products, but it seems like all of their products for about the past 10 years are poorly designed and manufactured. The Defender bike lock, while looking great in the images provided, is just another piece of junk that really won't work and/or will quickly fail. I think that Delta Cycle should be ashamed to sell this and that REI really should drop Delta Cycle from it's offerings.
