This review is for the OnGuard RockSolid Model 8590 Angle Grinder Resistant U-lock, one of the lightest angle grinder-resistant locks on the market with a Sold Secure Pedal Cycle Diamond rating. The OnGuard RockSolid 8590 is nearly 1.5 pounds lighter than my Kryptonite New York Standard lock, has a higher security rating, and incorporates a special diamond coating that can wear down cutting blades. I bought this lock because battery-powered angle grinders are now a prominent threat and can potentially make short work of previously Diamond or Gold-rated locks that lack protection. I use the OnGuard RockSolid 8590 in combination with a folding lock to protect my Tern QuickHaul, and it fits perfectly between the chainstay and rear wheel, but there is not enough reach to include an immovable object.Speaking of reach, the OnGuard RockSolid 8590 is advertised as having interior dimensions of 3.5" by 6.9" (90 x 175mm), but I only measured 83mm x 174mm (~3.3" by ~6.85"). While the 14mm diameter shackle (without the RockSolid coating) is average to slightly below average for the category, there's a very thick rubber layer around it, creating a roughly 25.5mm (1 inch) square. Putting the shackle through the spokes of a 20" or smaller wheel may be challenging. I measured the shackle thickness to be 15mm with the coating.It should be noted that while some reviewers and publications might mention the OnGuard RockSolid in the same breath as the game-changing , the Hiplok is also Sold Secure Diamond rated in the Powered Cycle category at the expense of being ~600g or ~1.3 pounds heavier. While the OnGuard RockSolid was also listed in the Powered Cycle category, it did not have a rating. This lock does not include a bicycle mount, but the light weight makes it easy to carry in a bag or attached to a rack. I lock it to the base of the Tern Clubhouse Mini while riding.Notes:1) The Quattro locking mechanism is not rattle-free. There is still a small amount of play between the shackle and the crossbar.2) OnGuard is very generous with its keys. You get five keys, though none have a light.
