Reviews over the

Abus Bordo Granit XPlus 6500K ART2

solid but very heavy anti-theft device

The "ring" that you can make is actually just too small so your bike can't always k9men nicely on a pole. Lock feels very solid and is compact. With the holder good to attach to the bike. Lock feels very solid and qualitative

Pros & Cons

Functional and quality lock, which is also noticeable in its weight. Works perfectly in use. Funny gimmick is the illuminated key

Pros & Cons

Every time I use the lock it is puzzling how to attach it, a lamppost is about the maximum width you can attach it to.

Pros & Cons

Easy to use

Pros & Cons

For everyday use, good anti-theft device

Pros & Cons

Definitely worth making it damn for the thief and safe for me.

Pros & Cons

Good strong lock

Pros & Cons

Good lock, especially considering that it is easy to carry in the holder that came with it. Mounted where you can put water bottle holders on the bike frame. Could perhaps have been slightly longer but it is clear then it would also have been a little bigger and heavier.

Pros & Cons

Pros & Cons

The lock is very sturdy but that does add weight. The holder is also sturdy and easy to install but the lock does make extra noise in it when riding over cobblestones.

Pros & Cons

Very convenient lock because you can fold it so small. But this flexibility does not affect the solidity of the lock. Not for nothing approved by insurers.

Pros & Cons

Good lock, strong and folds up quite small. Drawbacks are it doesn't have a great reach and be careful of the end which can scratch your bike

Heavy. Strong. Secure as they come. But a bit too short to go around wheel, frame and bike rack sometimes. Also comes with a holder but the mounting straps are not very helpful to fix such a heavy lock to try bike frame. Expect better for the price.

Compact and good to carry on the bike, I do doubt that the 85 cm is not too small, it is often not possible to take a wheel with you if you lock the frame, inbut there is no opportunity before buying to compare it with the 105 cm version.

Pros & Cons

Heavy sturdy feel to it. Fits on bottle mount and comes with the holder. Could do with being a bit longer as I have an electric bike so the frame is thicker than a normal bike making locking it to anything other than a barrier style bike station quite difficult. Bike storage stations in train stations require an additional chain to reach the bar.

Pros & Cons

It is generally accepted that the most secure locks on the market are ‘U’ (or ‘D’) locks. Other types of lock are often more convenient - less bulk and weight, but constitute a compromise in terms of security. Imagine my surprise when I received this folding lock and discovered it is actually much heavier than my Abus U lock! I also watched a video review where the tester managed to break this lock quite easily with the aid of a cheap and simple tool. I was very surprised at Abus. Would not buy this lock again.

Pros & Cons

Seems safeand high quality, A bit clunky, does not fit properly in my frame.

Pros & Cons

Pros & Cons

Excellent quality from ABUS. Can be fiddly to lock

Pros & Cons

Excellent product which give confidence to resist attck by all but angle grinders!. As a result the lock is heavy to carry around/

Pros & Cons

Pros & Cons

They stole my Brompton by cutting the bike, not the lock!

This lock is a fine lock, very well made and strong. Because of its design it can be tricky to manoeuvre particularly when it is difficult to get close to the fixed point. Service was excellent. The system for storage and attaching to the bike is exce.
