Specs taken from the official LINKA LASSO 8 product page plus LINKA platform documentation on 2026-04-23. ART 2 + Sold Secure Silver are the certifications Dutch and UK bike insurers look for.

About This Product

LINKA markets LASSO 8 as a connected chain lock for bikes and e-bikes that can lock or unlock in under one second. The product page highlights square manganese hardened steel chain construction plus Sold Secure Silver and ART II certifications.

Even though the hardware page reads more like a retail product page than the LEO pages, it still sits inside the same LINKA connected-lock ecosystem with public REST API and Mobile SDK documentation. That gives fleets a credible path to integrating chain-lock hardware into broader access workflows.
