AXA Fold 85 vs Trelock FS 360 Code - Where are the differences?
Where are the differences?
Let's take the two folding locks AXA Fold 85 and Trelock FS 360 Code in the comparison and take a closer look at the differences.
Locking system
There are primarily two types of locking systems for bicycle locks, especially folding locks:
- Key
- combination lock
Weight
With a bicycle lock, weight is an interesting and also important factor. A heavy bicycle lock is usually made of stronger material and is therefore safer. The AXA Fold 85 has a weight of 850 g. The weight of the Trelock FS 360 Code is 980 g. In this case the Fold 85 performs worse.
Length
The length of the AXA Fold 85 is 85 cm. Same with the Trelock FS 360 Code.
A shorter bicycle lock has the disadvantage that it offers less space when chaining. On the other hand, it is a little safer, so thieves do not have as much room and leverage to break it open. Especially with folding locks the length has an effect on security. The longer the lock is, the more elements are used. Each element makes the folding lock more unstable and offers more risk for theft.
The length naturally also affects the weight of the bicycle lock. This is relatively logical, since more material is used.
Securety Level
The Securetylevel describes the security level of the bicycle locks. However, this value is not a standard and is determined by each manufacturer. Sometimes the maximum value is raised after a certain time.
Therefore you must always consider the individual maximum value for the securetylevel. The AXA Fold 85 has the securetylevel 9 of 10. The securetylevel of the Trelock FS 360 Code is 3 of 6.
