The ULAC Soloist Combo is a compact and highly portable D-lock (U-lock) designed for riders who prioritize convenience without sacrificing essential frame security. Part of ULAC’s "Neo Alarm" design family, it features a silicone-overmolded body that is soft to the touch, ensuring your bike’s paintwork remains pristine and free from metallic clanking during transport.
The standout feature of the Soloist is its resettable 4-digit combination mechanism. This makes it an ideal "grab-and-go" lock for multi-stop urban trips, as you never have to worry about losing a key or fumbling with a keyring while wearing gloves.
High-Security Shackle: Features a 12mm hardened steel shackle that provides a solid defense against manual cutting tools and prying.
Resettable Combination: A user-defined 4-digit code offers 10,000 possible combinations, providing personalized security and keyless ease of use.
Silicone Overmold: The entire lock body and shackle are encased in high-quality silicone, protecting your bike from scratches and dings.
Compact Dimensions: With an inner shackle size of 72mm x 140mm, it is designed to fit snugly around your frame and a standard bike rack, reducing the space for a thief to insert a pry bar.
Lightweight Design: Weighing approximately 440g, it is significantly lighter than traditional full-sized U-locks, making it comfortable to carry in a bag or a jersey pocket.
Mounting Versatility: Includes a dedicated mounting bracket for your frame, but its compact size also allows it to be tucked into a belt or clipped to a backpack strap.

Urban Commuters: Perfect for short-term parking at work, university, or the gym where a visible, solid deterrent is required.
Minimalist Riders: If you hate carrying heavy, clunky hardware, the Soloist offers U-lock strength at a fraction of the usual weight.
Paintwork Protectors: The full silicone coating is the best in the business for keeping high-end carbon or alloy frames looking new.
High-Value Overnight Parking: While strong, the 12mm shackle is not "Gold Rated" for high-theft metropolitan centers. For maximum security, consider the ULAC Magmask.
Thick Anchor Points: The compact 72mm width may be too narrow to fit around very large street lamps or square concrete pillars; it is best suited for standard "staple" bike racks.
Professional Thieves: Combination locks are generally considered slightly less secure than high-quality disc-detainer key cylinders against specialized picking tools.
Because the Soloist is a "Mini" D-lock, the best way to use it is the "Sheldon Brown" method: lock the rear wheel through the rear triangle of the frame to the rack. This secures both the most expensive wheel and the frame simultaneously. If you're worried about your front wheel, pair this with a ULAC 52nd Street Chain for a comprehensive two-point security setup.
