The tex-lock eyelet is a combination of the U-lock and textile cable of your choice and therefore the right bike lock model for you, if you want to secure your bike with a U-lock + extension. In addition to three cable lengths (80, 120, 160 cm), you can choose between the D-lock and U/X-lock. You can find out which is the best U-lock for you in detail in our U-lock guide. Here is the short version:
eyelet U/X-lock Bundle
The U/X-lock has Two hangers of different lengths, that you can use variably. The shorter U-lock shackle sits close to the bike, making it particularly difficult for thieves to pick. The longer X-lock shackle secures several bike parts at the same time or secures your bike to a fixed object. Both shackles can be locked on both sides, so thieves have to pick both sides before they can open the shackle lock.
eyelet D-lock Bundle
The slightly larger D-lock has a particularly robust steel shackle with a triangular profile, as well as a shackle lock on both sides, a spring-loaded locking mechanism (which prevents the shackle from falling out unintentionally) and is ART*3 and Sold Secure Pedal Cycle Diamond certified. At this security level, it is the lightest U-lock on the market!

eyelet textile rope
The eyelet is available in 80 cm (S), 120 cm (M) and 160 cm (L). The longer the textile cable, the more components or bikes you can secure with it and the larger the objects you can lock your bike to.

Do you only want to lock the two wheels securely? Then the eyelet M is sufficient in terms of length. And if you only want to connect one wheel to a fixed object, that's enough eyelet S.
Do you have a bulky cargo bike or do you want several bicycles together the eyelet L is also the best choice.
Once you have decided on a length, all you have to do is choose your Favourite design meet.
With the tex-lock eyelet, you have two locks in one and can either extend your own U-lock, use it in the Bundle with our D-lock or U/X-lock or order a U-lock from another manufacturer and combine it with it. Thanks to the rubberised metal eyelets at both ends of the cable, even the thick steel shackles of more expensive U-lock models will fit.

Then the tex-lock mate is the right textile lock for you
