The model I have is rated as a "7" on a scale of 1-12 on Kryptonite's website: (

I live in Chicago and I keep my bike inside my apartment, but when I ride to the train or to school, I want to be sure no one steals it. Is this type of U-lock sufficient? Should I buy a better model? Has anyone ever heard of these being picked, cut, broken, or compromised at all?
Thanks in advance!

Add a good cable lock as well. There are times when ulocks don't work (usually in the burbs) and when the ulock does work a cable will get both of your wheels and requires a different tool to cut it.
To lock a Redline 925 in Chicago I'm guessing you don't need a NY lock.
