How about OnGuard U-Lock brand introduction

OnGuard is a very popular lock company in the United States, and compared to the first two legendary and historical lock companies, consumers can't even find a history of the company from OnGuard's official website. Whether it's from the scope of business or from the self-introduction on the official website, this company only does one thing, and that is to take care of your bike. Unlike Kryptonite and ABUS, OnGuard is not involved in any commercial and home security projects, they only focus on the development and production of various bicycle (and motorcycle) locks, and their Brute series of U-shaped locks can be said to be highly praised.
 
Represented by the Brute series of U-shaped locks, OnGuard received an outstanding score of 97 points (on a 100-point scale) in the indoor test of Sold Secure. Unlike the more serious industrial design style of ordinary companies, OnGuard's industrial design is more youthful and lively, but the product texture is not inferior. In terms of practical design, OnGuard's Mini series has been minimized, taking the Brute Mini as an example, it is 14cm long and 9cm wide, making it easy to carry and leaving little room for destructive tools to insert once the vehicle is locked.
 
Another feature of OnGuard U-locks is that they are extremely cost-effective. The OnGuard Brute STD is on par with Kryptonite and ABUS in terms of security features at less than half the price, with the highest security ratings, the Brute STD and Brute Mini, both priced under $60.
 
Of course, along with this, the brand is able to provide a relatively limited number of supporting services. Although the official claim is to provide the same ATPO insurance service as Kryptonite, with a maximum compensation of $1,501, the compensation conditions are much more stringent than Kryptonite. However, this does not affect the praise of OnGuard from bicycle lock review website The best U-Lock, who believes that "when considering the price, OnGuard is a better choice than Kryptonite and ABUS." ”
 
Unfortunately, OnGuard, like the top two, has no official sales channels in the Chinese market, and domestic users do not enjoy the after-sales service provided by OnGuard.
