That is the reason why U-Lock with combination mechanism should be called a "Trash U-Lock."
In reality big bolt cuters are also wheapon of idiot-thives, because it is not wise to carry a very big and heavy chunk of steel.
Every U-Lock can be cut with angle grinder so what, if we go in that direction then the best U-Lock is completely useless.I have no fear of these situations, realistically bicycle owners they need to be fear of idiot-thives=bike is not stolen but it is severely beaten and seriously damaged.;)
Yes your thread Secondary Locks, there is Kryptonite Evolution U-Lock, but this is not Kryptonite Evolution 4 Series U-Lock.
Kryptonite Evolution 4 Series
- double shackle locking mechanism, shackle diameter 14mm
Kryptonite Evolution 5/7/9 Series/mentioned in your thread
- "Kryptonite single bolted and unique shackle trash design", shackle diameter 13mm
- double shackle locking mechanism, shackle diameter 14mm

Combination locks can be hammered off. U-locks of less than 16mm can be cut off with bolt cutters. A professional thief would use whatever is fastest to break a lock. But would only use an angle grinder if there was no-one around, because of the noise generated. Regulars to this thread all know this.
By the way, since it's escaped your notice, the Kryptonite Evo is considered the benchmark for all secondary U-locks, and it says so in that thread. Not only is it mentioned, its specifically highlighted as one of the most superior of its type.
