Switch 85 Folding Lock

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"For commuting setups where every gram matters, the SWITCH 85 hits a sweet spot. It’s lighter and quicker to deploy than bigger folding locks but still uses hardened steel bars. The bracket and holster setup also makes it easy to move between multiple bikes."

We choose the SWITCH 85 Folding Bike Lock when a lighter, more agile security solution fits the ride. At 1.09kg, it trims weight without abandoning the hardened steel construction that makes folding locks a dependable step above basic cables. Steel bars and rivets articulate smoothly as the lock opens, giving us a stable structure with an 85cm reach—well-suited for routine stops, mixed-commute environments, and quick urban parking.

The SWITCH System is the technical advantage that broadens its appeal. The bracket mounts cleanly to standard frame bosses, the holster clips the lock to belts and pack straps, and the plate lets us interchange a bottle cage with the lock depending on the day’s setup. This modular compatibility lets the SWITCH 85 integrate seamlessly across commuting bikes, cargo bikes, and e-bikes without needing multiple locks or carriers.

Three replaceable coded keys back its long-term usability, and a Sold Secure Pedal Cycle Bronze rating confirms performance for everyday locking scenarios. For riders who value low-profile carry, fast transitions, and reliable daily protection, the SWITCH 85 offers a compact, technically refined solution.
