Bike locks as a whole are sort of a losing battle, it seems that no matter what you do bike thieves are two-steps ahead — and locks also aren't very practical to carry on a training ride.
OTTO DesignWorks, the same people who brought you the OTTO derailleur tuning device is attempting to fill this security gap however with the OTTOLOCK.It's Kickstarter campaign includes a variety of pledge amounts and claims that the lock is "far more secure than a cable lock, and much lighter than a U-lock"
Inspired by Jelly Belly presented by Maxxis rider Jacob Rathe, who’s had his own trouble with bike thieves, he wanted to help create a lock that was light enough to take on a training ride but still strong enough to at least slow down a thief.

Claimed to weigh 115g, the OTTOLOCK is a cinch combo lock that has a band made from multiple layers of high-tempered steel bands that are reinforced by Kevlar, and covered in Santoprene plastic to protect your bike from damage.
The high-tempered steel bands are quite thin and layered in a manner that still allows the lock to be flexible and robust, yet resistant to cutting thanks to the Kevlar reinforcement.
