U-lock recommendations?

[Ingah]

I'm looking for ideas/recommendations for a decent U-lock (AKA D-lock) for my bike that doesn't cost really silly money, as i find the Almax 3 is just too much hassle for work use etc as it requires me cart around an extra bag. U-locks simply slot through the pillion grab rail, much better! (ideally i'd be able to use disc locks like the xena XX10/XX14, but the bike i use tend to have drum brakes so that's a no-go).

Something with an integrated alarm would be all the better if it doesn't sacrifice decent physical security with poor design.

I did some research on d locks for my pushbike and the one that seemed to come out on top is the one i got, a kryptonite evolution 4. You can get them off ebay for around £30 and are heavy but not too heavy to carry around. I think there was a slightly better new york model or something but the extra price wasn't justified.

Be careful are there are some shockingly bad ones out there, and not just the cheap ones.

Not sure i'd want to trust my motorbike security to a d lock alone though.

If you can break a Xena U-lock I'd be surprised. It is a big heavy motherfucker tho.

In my opinion Kryptonite for brute strength, or Xena if you want an alarm integrated
