I have an Abus Varedo (level 10-11) good solid lock, had it for 3 years now, still got my bike! Will be upgrading to Granit X soon. Good solid German engineering!

I use an abus mini 40 u lock and the bordo 6000 folding lock together on my bike after much online research as well as talking to fellow cyclists. I have total confidence in abus and the quality of their products, even though they are a bit pricey I believe it's a worthwhile investment to protect my baby...

Ordered this yesterday after doing a lot of research. Any lock can be picked and broken into with the correct tools, however, 5 minutes for a thief is a lot of time and it's going to make a racket. The thief would most likely steal another bike without a U lock.

+scyther6666 I purchased this lock yesterday and I am hoping and praying that it deters any scumbag thieves. It has like a top rating for locks in the UK (and presuming anywhere else in the world) My one bad point is that it is rather heavy but I would rather have that than have a stolen bike

+bashinmybishop kindredspirit I know exactly how you feel mate. I'm also from the UK and in London, there's absolutely no way you can keep your bike forever, therefore, I purchased a sub £500 bicycle and purchased the abus u lock with it. I ve managed to install it on the bike frame next to the seat and it fits quite snugly. I would advice you to purchase a 4 foot Flex Cable that you loop in between both your bikes rims assuming you have quick release wheels. I purchased everything from Amazon and they arrived just in time. The good news is, thieves have tried to get into the U lock but it didn't budge. Solid investment I would say.

+scyther6666 Got my bike stolen 1 week ago. Gutted. i will be buying this lock.

+1adadada Please do. Just an update on this very lock, it also ages well even in a very wet environment like England. There are always new marks and scratches on the lock but no one's been able to take the bike frame away. I've lost wheels but the bike frame is still with me.

Why make a review if you don't yet know what you want to talk about? "These plastic things have to do with mounting the lock, I guess..." You could have made your video a lot more informative if you had taken a look at the stuff 5 minutes in advance!

i also don't think that too many thieves even think of using an actual key, instead of a set of tools. i wouldn't know though, my bike has not been stolen as i'm very careful about leaving it anywhere, but my house. vandalism is my worst fear anyway... even if the lock remains, the bike might always get bad damage while trying...

Considering the cost of an Abus 540 granit lock, I would have thought the design of their brackets to be more universal and user friendly. I had an easy kf bracket which to be frank, was completely useless. My bike has a round seat tube, the rest of the frame has an irregular shape. This meant the only place to mount the eazy kf bracket was on the seat tube. This was impractical as the lock got in the way of peddling. I now have had to fork out for a USH bracket. I just hope that this gives me extra choices of where to mount my lock. For a lock costing so much money, the design of attachments should be far superior...😡😡

According to a test of a Dutch consumer organisation this lock and the ABUS Bordo Granit X-plus can only be opened by using extreme tools such as an angle grinder. The other locks they tested were opened using bolt cutters or the were too heavy to bike with. The U lock weighs 1.7kg and the Bordo weighs 1.6kg. The U lock has a higher Dutch ART testrating though. I think its hard to beat on weight/price/safety ratio.

Abus are good locks in general. This lock can be picked but they're not easy - you need a special tool to do it.

i'm pretty sure that this is one of the best locks that money can buy, yet not cheap! but according to reviews this seems to be as hard to break as many other top locks and the weight is reasonable compared to many others too. if i didn't think that u-locks were ugly as hell, or had any bag with me while riding, i'd definitely consider this. abus bordo folding lock granit x-plus 6500 (the new version) is my lock of choice. doesn't look bad while attached to frame, if probably not just as safe

This is a 13mm square shackle lock. So it has a higher cross sectional area than a 13mm round shackle. It should be very secure. Equivalent to a 16mm round shackle lock for example.

Abus is basically the best brand for security regarding motorcycles, bicycles, and even home locks, chains, padlocks, etc. However, as any other company they have cheap, medium and premium products as well. I was referring to the premium ones when I said they are the best.

Abus locks seem to be a step up from the Kryptonite brand , which has some low end products to make it more confusing. Whenyou get past their toughman marketing and "Fedfetaboutit" persona . it's not really clear how good Kryptonite's high end stuff really is. Abus' low end starts out at least as good and probably better than Kryptonite's high end. Abus is a decades old reputable brand that didn't come from the back of a van. Clearly they're the adult in the room. .

@estovaono this particular product is pretty good, seems sturdy and well built, however, this is only my second Abus product. I can't speak for all their other products.

@mukor100k 12 жыл бұрын

kryptonite seems pretty synonymous for a lock that frustrates the thief, even their lower level locks. +they look pretty aggressive. but abus is supposed to be a little more "high-end". especially their best locks seem convincing yet damn pricey. the granit-x locking mechanism seem great compared to lower-end abus locks that are quite vulnerable for basic pick locking. if your claim about easy getting keys for granit-x locks is true, yes that is a minus, but somehow i doubt it includes them
