Overview
Not a cable or folding lock, this ABUS lock is a rigid U-shaped design with a square parabolic shackle that bolts to the lock body at both ends. Power Cell technology and an X-Plus key cylinder aim to resist hitting, pulling and picking.
A thick hardened shackle, a double bolting design and a holder in the box are the reasons to choose it for city parking. The weight is noticeable on a ride, and the listing offers no dimensions for the opening.
Who it's for
Urban commuters and owners of high-value bikes who park outdoors will find the thick shackle and double bolting reassuring. Riders who count weight or want a lock for tight frames with wide tubes should check the opening size.
Pros and cons
- Hardened steel square shackle
- Double bolting lock body
- Power Cell technology
- Can be keyed alike
- Heavy to carry
- Inner opening size unclear
- Painted finish can chip
- Key count not listed
Performance notes
A square shackle resists leverage and bolting at both ends spreads force through the lock body. The X-Plus cylinder is meant to resist picking, and keying alike lets several locks share one key. A heavy lock slows transport but raises the effort needed to defeat it.
