Abus GRANIT XPlus 540 U-Lock

Product Information

Experts recommend employing a locking method that allows as little space as possible within the shackle. If it doesn’t fit around your wheel, you could pair it with some Hexlox for very secure all round protection. The Abus Granit X Plus 540 comes with two keys, one with a LED light to help you use the lock in the dark.

While the number two choice is super secure but perhaps involves many unnecessary compromises (weight, transportation etc) for those cyclists. From standard to high security, the electronic double knob cylinder offers flexible control over your property with up to 511 users. 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. Both are companies who, among others in the moped, scooter and motorcycle industry, are passionate about reducing crime.

Different locks are better or worse at dealing with the multitude of other methods that thieves use. So if you’re in the US and you’re looking for something a little more practical than the standard sized mini- U-locks, this would be a great choice.

It has the highest build quality of any lock I’ve ever tested, which means it's easy to use, and never jams (for me at least). I want also to let you know that, not in every country, but in some, there’s this great assurance that covers from theft, damadge and other things. The innovative, patented ABUS Power Cell technology also protects your motorbike effectively against hitting and pulling attacks.

The 16 mm steel shackle is coated with an innovative ceramic compound that melts angle grinder discs! There aren’t any standard size locks that are lighter than the Granit X Plus 540, while still offering a comparable level of security. Our staff all love cycling, as a way of getting around, staying fit, days out with family and friends and competing in various disciplines. However, as we’ve already discussed, a modern portable angle grinder will cut through both sides of this lock in less than 30 seconds. Our CO2 detector AirSecure reliably indicates the indoor air quality: In this way, you prevent headaches, malaise and an increased risk of infection.
