Big thanks for such a comprehensive review, Tom!

Great review - definitely getting this....2 for the price of one. Thank you!

Next development, I reckon: The alarm feature triggers an alert on your phone via an app.

Great vid, showcasing the lock. I embedded your vid into my post on the lock, but I am not finished with the post yet so it's not published yet.

Some more of testing results: you can't lock front wheel to frame on a bike that has slack head angle like mine does, 61 deg, it's a size large Nicolai/Geometron G1, but bikes with steep head angle it's not a problem, but on my bike I can only lock the rear wheel to the frame, but not to a roof support wall infront of a store, but for good racks you use pedal to park the bike you can lock it to a rack like that.

I got this lock but it has a MAJOR flaw which is why im returning it..even when its locked, the battery compartment can be taken out after you remove the rubber casing. So someone who knows about this can easily do it and go further ahead with stealing the bike. Cant believe they didnt think of this!

Abus has various U locks with alarm too, if you prefer those over folding locks or if you want to use both. Would make rattling on the bikes / locks highly discouraging. The U locks would generally a bit safer though, folding locks are pretty weak in comparison - but of course way more space efficient.

Should treat bike thieves like they used to treat horse thieves back in the day.

Nice description on the Abus Bordo 6000 bike lock but you never explained how the sleeve gets attached to the bike, which is not well described in the instructions. Best, Dan in Long Island

So far this lock due to the alarm & forever lock seem like good ideas. I know there are alarm pad locks too.

I've experienced problems due to bad weather conditions. After that it rained a lot, the alarms system seems completely out of order. As soon as I turn the key the alarm keeps going with that loud sound for more than a minute.

I have this and I have to to say I'm dissapointed at the noise level. It's just not loud enougn. I keep my bike outside my bedroom window and I can barely hear the alarm go off.

the major flaw with folding locks you can defeat them in the joints, by lifting the arms apart from the rivet with special tool, but the alarm makes this lock quite interesting, before the alarm it was a no go, but you should try lock picking. Abus locks can easily be picked in seconds as most of the locks on the market. if the alarm cna detect the picking it would be good, cus a lock picker would not have to move the lock to pick it.

Can the speaker for the alarm be covered with bubble gum or is it somehow hidden? ( I see posts online related to other bike alarms that say thieves just cover speaker with bubble gum which makes it uselesss)

just wondering if your a thief you just remove the battery to avoid the noise?

I have had this lock for few weeks now, I tested the holder bracket, My testing shown that hard impacts to the bash guard results in the middle links of the lock popping out. So I can't approve this solution for #mtb might work for light xc with impacts, but not #enduromtb the holder would also move side to side, leaving black rubber residue on the frame. Using only the strap provided did not work so well, but adding zip ties helped to stabilise it but did not stop it rotating so from now on the lock will stay in the backpack. That was the plan anyway, I just wanted to test this holder but having a lock mounted to the bike will result in a dirty lock, as with everything else mounted to the bike won't attach things to my bike, it makes no sense to me. I probably rode harder than this was tested, hit bash guide at rock fountain in city centre, I jumped over a stream, but I don't think that was the problem, but I think the problem is hit the bash guard over and over, eventually the links popped out, seems like the impact made it pop out. this is text I will use in my review I am writing. So from now on I will have the lock in my back pack, I only had it on the bike for testing purposes. here is a pic of it mounted to the down tube via provided strap and zip ties: flic.kr/p/2i2vX1a

Now the thing that may become a problem is when it's really windy outside. Will the lock react on strong wind and go off over and over again!? :o Hopefully ABUS thought about that and made sure it didn't. It would just be small vibrations from the wind hitting the bike.

What happens when you are about to unlock your own bike? It should give the warning beep when handling the lock? Haven't seen the unlocking procedure in any video review yet.

You can just put a silencer on the speaker, or burn it. It doesn't seem to go off with temp change.

Is this water resist?

Hey. I buyed this lock cause of your video, it is a nice lock. But i don´t get how to use the system to put it on the bike when you are driving around, do you know how? :-)

But can the battery be taken out while it's locked. Cause it looks like you can.

How long is this? Is it long enough to use on a fat tire bike?

Can be angle grinded in 20 seconds.

0:23 I think that was done intentionally to make thrives ignore the bike just by looking at the lock, cus the lock will sing if you fiddle with it.

I think the weight of the lock is off. I think it weighs around 1.6kgs. 450 grams is a little less than 1 lb.

Ok how about two of them and when you try to muffle or spray one the other reacts and goes off. But you could have bad luck with two thieves working together and each would spray or muffle at the same time. I suggest that you buy three locks as it’s unlikely three thieves would travel together. Psychologist say thieves are narcissistic and seldom work with a partner so unlikely to work with two partners. Or you could get three of these and 2 Ulocks and the Kryptonite chain. But then...

I just watched a video of a 10 year old kid and his dad cutting this lock with a small bolt cutter with very little effort.

So the one with alarm is rated 10, but the one without alarm is 15 ? 😮

Do you know why the rating is so low 10 outta 15? would you still buy this?

Pourquoi ne pas avoir fait un doublage à la voix? La traduction écrite est très mauvaise et pendant qu'on lit on ne voit pas ce que la personne réalise.

i don't like those kind of locks they are flimsy, i would like to see this alarm system put into a good strong D-lock

My review is up, I am finished testing the bracket/holder, I added your vid to the review, no point in me repeating everything, you already showcased this lock well. wp.me/p60aTF-2SY I also have a video of mine there, but I am testing the bracket to the extreme with drops, hitting chain guide.

I’m enjoying the bike so far kzfaq.infoUgkxMesz3KOGEmwmvyKQfLfrRSUXLFzfVHZA My only real complaints are the brakes and the pedals. I feel like a bike designed for bigger people should have much larger pedals and more heavy duty brakes. I’ve only gotten two really good rides out of it, minimal downhill action, and the brakes feel like they’re already going out. A larger person has more momentum, so I think this wasn’t thought through very well. Also, I wear size 13-14 wide shoes. My feet cramp up on these pedals that are clearly made for smaller feet. Since I’m not a pro rider (and I don’t think many are who purchase this bike) I don’t think that the straps on the pedal are necessary at all. None of this takes away from the enjoyment I get from riding, however. I’ll just head to a bike shop to improve on a few things.

Get a hip lock instead

$200 for a lock

As expensive as locks are getting,,, pretty soon people will be stealing the locks and leaving the bike.
