Tex-lock Eyelet D-Lock bicycle lock

Test: The Tex-lock eyelet bundle with D-lock or U/X-lock represents an innovative combination of a U-lock and a textile cable that meets the highest security standards. We put the D-lock model and its advantages to the test in detail.

The Tex-lock eyelet is a versatile U-lock with a textile rope that is available in various bundles. These include a textile rope with two rubberized metal eyelets and a U-lock. The D-lock is particularly highlighted, which impresses with its relatively low weight and high level of security. As soon as we unpacked it and connected it for the first time, the lock seemed very high-quality to us, no wonder since it consists of a robust steel core coated with high-tech fibers. The textile rope is available in 80 cm (S), 120 cm (M) or 160 cm (L).

The locking cylinders are also specially designed for extra protection. Both lock options are protected against lock picking. The D-lock offers the highest level of security with a weight of just 970 grams and is the lightest U-lock in the ART*3 and Sold Secure Diamond security classes. It also has an automatic keyhole cover, which protects against dirt and moisture. The triangular shackle profile is also designed to make it more difficult to break into.

We found the rubber coating and the surface of the textile rope particularly pleasant, as this means you don't have to worry about scratching your bike and its components. This also makes handling and use in everyday life much easier and you can attach several bike parts or wheels to fixed objects.

Conclusion of the Tex-lock eyelet test

The robust and scratch-resistant design of the textile rope and the user-friendly metal eyelets round off the overall package.
