Abus GRANIT XPlus 540 U-Lock

Product Information

The shackle is 13mm square and covered with a soft, rubbery material to protect your paintwork, while the body is encased in plastic. I was wondering if the 230mm version is quite enough for a mountain bike (hardtail, nothing out of the ordinary, but the tires are of course wider than a city bike), is it worth it to carry around a 300mm one or the 230mm is enough to lock the bike around town? While Kassensturz also deducts points for the rather high weight, this ABUS lock was shown to offer a high level of protection against corrosion and theft with and without the use of force by picking.

Up to six months, if they can't be repaired or replaced, then you're entitled to a full refund, in most cases, up to six years, if the goods do not last a reasonable length of time, you may be entitled to some money back. If it doesn’t fit around your wheel, you could pair it with some Hexlox for very secure all round protection. I had purchased this lock, and it was cracked by a gang of little Gypsy children in literally 5 minutes.Most bike thieves are still targeting crappy cable locks with cable cutters, and flimsy u-locks (or folding locks) with leverage attacks or bolt cutters.

The other u-locks with three stars (such as the Kryptonite Evolution Series 4 locks), all have 14 mm shackles. Nothing in this contract affects your legal rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 (also known as ‘statutory rights’). Unfortunately from time to time items may become unavailable, we will do our best to minimise this occurrence however if it should happen then we will contact you to suggest an appropriate alternative.Furthermore, the lock has a secure XPlus cylinder, which effectively resists attempts to break it open.

I think this combination is pretty much the ultimate in terms of the balance of security, portability and usability for urban cyclists. The mount allows for a few options when attaching it to your bike and comes with rubber tube adapters to fit a broad range of circumferences. As one of the larger U-locks in this review, it's a bit easier to secure two wheels (with one removed, of course) and the frame to an immovable structure than with the Kryptonite New York Standard U-Lock. If the quiz tells you that you need a Sold Secure Diamond rated bike lock, then there's a good chance you would benefit from an angle grinder resistant bike lock.The GRANIT XPlus™ 540 U-Lock combines the highest-quality materials with the latest technology for protection against theft!
