ABUS U-Lock Granit XPlus 540, Bike Lock with XPlus Cylinder, High Protection Against Theft, ABUS Security Level 15, Black/Grey

Good lock, but living is a high thief area, I choose a different, what I feel was better for my purpose

The choice was this or the Kryptonite. The ABUS won over Kryptonite with the strength test (search youtube) The Kryptonite did win with the insurance coverage offer...BUT The Kryptonite insurance coverage comes with a requirement that makes it just about useless. A) It requires you to send back the broken/damaged lock B) You have to take the same day pic of the bike locked Chances are if your bike gets stolen, the thief wont leave the busted lock. Then you have to remember to take a current pic every day you lock your bike. Based on that and the general reviews of the coverage, I decided to just go with the stronger ABUS lock. Side Note: As great as the mounting bracket is (sold separately)...it will only fit on a standard size bike frame. I have a 2019 Specialized Stumpjumper XL Mountain bike and I cannot use the mounting/holder bracket because it wont fit around the frame as the frame is pretty thick. So I just carry it in my water pack bag. I would have given it 5 stars if the bracket worked too seeing as I had to purchase that separately.

I loved this bike lock for the 6 months I used it. I made a mistake under stress and the lock ended up falling from 2.5 feet onto concrete, which caused it to basically shatter. I tried snapping it back in place but the key wouldnt lock anymore. There goes $120.

I researched the security level of many different locks. An expert who teaches lock picking and bypass mentioned Abus as one of the best brands to defeat such efforts. The only way to get into this lock is through brute Force. Im sure that is possible, but as long as I have a better lock than the guy next to me, most criminals will move on to an easier lock.

Looks strong and is heavy. Should slow down the most determined thief. Did not use the mounting bracket though it worked fine.

It works great, I use a Velcro tie down strap, to help hold it, and keep it from rattling,

Very good is perfect security

This thing just rocks on so many levels. I feel confident using it at almost any location

Needed a strong and reliable lock to secure my bike around campus. This works. Pros: Thick, hardened steel shackle. Lightweight for its size and strength. Thin layer of rubberized material on the inside of the shackle to protect the paint on your bike. Key retention, so that the key can only be removed when in the locked position; never accidentally leave your bike unlocked! One key has a handy little LED light built in. Also comes with a smaller spare. Included card with personalized code to order new keys. Cons: None, absolutely worth the money.

Get this if your bike is worth it
