Unlike the classic tex-lock lock, ORBIT works with a flick of the wrist: With the lock body specially developed and integrated by tex-lock, the lock ends engage without having to lock the lock again with the key. So: unlock, connect, push shut, done! This works quickly and is safe, because the new lock body with hardened metal core is designed to reliably protect the wheel from picking and violent attacks. At the same time, the soft sheathing of the two ends of the lock protects the wheel from scratches. Compared to the TEX-LOCK EYELET, it does not offer the wide range of uses that are possible with this lock due to the separate U-lock. Otherwise, the ORBIT offers all the advantages of textile technology in terms of security, flexibility and weight. ORBIT complies with the independent Dutch safety standard ART*2, which bicycle insurance companies accept.
