Evolution Series 4 1016 Integrated Chain Lock
About the original
The Kryptonite Evolution Series 4 1016 Integrated Chain is a 10mm six-sided manganese-steel chain with a hardened-steel disc-detainer padlock and a weather-resistant nylon sleeve, rated 8 of 10 on Kryptonite's security scale. The chain is 5.25 feet long and weighs 9.7 pounds; it ships with three stainless keys and Kryptonite's Anti-Theft Protection Offer. Kryptonite was founded by Michael Zane in 1972 in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, pioneered the U-lock with the Kryptonite 4 in 1972, and remains the dominant bicycle-security manufacturer in North America. The SS21 Supreme collab replaces the standard black nylon sleeve with one printed in reflective Supreme logos; it released April 29, 2021 at $128 and is otherwise mechanically identical to the production Evolution 1016.
About Kryptonite
Kryptonite is an American bicycle lock manufacturer founded in 1971 by Michael Zane in Canton, Massachusetts. The company introduced the first production U-lock in 1972, using hardened steel to defeat bolt cutters and establishing the form factor now standard across the category. Kryptonite publishes a 1-to-10 security rating used by cyclists and insurers to compare locks, and its New York Fahgettaboudit chain and Evolution series are widely specified in high-theft cities. The brand has been owned by Allegion since 2001. Supreme has collaborated with Kryptonite on co-branded U-locks and chain locks.
