A secure bike lock usually requires heavy materials that make it unwieldy. Conventional locks are therefore rarely light, flexible and secure at the same time.
Our textile rope solves this problem with a combination of high-tech fibers and hardened steel, making a tex–lock lock not only light, flexible and secure, but also exceptionally beautiful.
The tex–lock textile rope combines various high-performance fibers with hardened special steel. Together, the materials offer cut protection, fire protection and paint protection. The outer textile layer is extremely abrasion-resistant and resists bolt cutters. In addition, the hardened steel chain on the inside offers protection against sawing. This is how the rope is constructed:
Advantages of the textile rope: flexible, durable, supple, safe
The high-quality materials and careful workmanship make the rope flexible, durable, supple, safe and ultimately versatile:
Unique flexibility:
Easily wraps around all parts and makes connecting in tight and hard-to-reach areas particularly easy.
High strength:
High-tech fibers and hardened special steel ensure maximum safety against saws, cutting tools and fire.
Pleasant feel:
The textile rope is particularly soft and supple to the touch. This makes handling pleasant and protects against paint scratches.
Versatile in use:
Secures all vehicles with two wheels: Bicycles, e-bikes, motorcycles, mopeds, scooters, e-scooters and more.
Weather resistant:
Against various influences such as moisture, UV rays and temperature fluctuations. The appearance and functionality of the robust rope therefore does not suffer from rusted metal parts or unsightly stains.
Colorful textile rope: a bike lock for your lifestyle
The colorful textile rope turns the tex–lock into more than just a lock. In the popular standard colors, it shines as a stylish accessory on you and your bike. In addition, every year there is a limited edition Special Edition in a particularly unusual color pattern.

Careful processing: From the textile rope to the tex–lock
Each textile rope is manufactured in our in-house factory at Leipzig with great attention to detail. The process involves several steps:
Individual length:
In addition to the standard lengths of 80, 100, 120 and 160 cm, the rope is also available in customized lengths. The record is 3.8 meters.
Assembly of the metal components:
The hardened metal eyelets, the universal bolt and the lock body are connected to the cable using a high-pressure machine.
Refinement of all components:
The rope and the metal parts are connected with a shrink sleeve. This prevents paint scratches and weathering.
Quality assurance:
Every rope undergoes strict quality controls to meet our high standards.

Einführung einer Projektmanagement-Software, die Transparenz über alle Projekte herstellt und das Projektmanagement des Unternehmens vereinheitlicht. Die Software muss geeignet sein abteilungsübergreifend mit den unterschiedlichen Anforderungen Projekte abzubilden.
Vorhaben 1 Forschung und Entwicklung einer nicht metallischen Beschichtung der Fahrradschlosskette – Hard-Cut
Ziel: Entwicklung und Anwendung einer Beschichtung für dünne Kettensegmente, angewendet in textilummantelten Fahrradschlössern, welche eines ausreichenden Schutzes gegen Korrosion, Sägeangriff und Verschleiß bieten.
Vorhaben 2 Systematische Erstellung eines technologischen Maßnahmenkatalogs zur Steigerung der Produktperformance der bestehenden und zukünftigen Produktentwicklungen – ReHex-Design
Ziel: Die Beständigkeit des Gesamtsystems Fahrradschloss gegenüber mutwilliger Zerstörung bzw. gegenüber dem mutwilligen Angriff zu steigern, sodass eine ART3-Zertifizierung erreicht wird.
