Heavier, trickier to use, sturdier

- C.W., 6 September, 2025

The chain is heavier and trickier to use than the plug-in chain. But the insurance company requires it so I use it.

Pros & Cons

Heavy-duty chain meeting vefze standard
Compared to the Axa link-in chain, more difficult to handle
Difficult to lock with the key
Heavy

great lock to secure your electric bike

- Cornelie, 20 May, 2025

Strong lock, just long enough to secure my electric bike. I found a longer lock too heavy and don't need it in practice. The lock fits under the saddle around the bar, so you can easily carry it with you.

Pros & Cons

handy in use
neatly finished
not too expensive for what you get
strong lock

Good padlock

- Frederic, 25 March, 2025

It seems robust and efficient. A little heavy, but that's the weight of tranquillity/security.

It does what it is made for, securing your bike

- Lennart, 14 March, 2025

Sturdy and good in terms of price-quality and hufterproof. Too bad the key falls out of the lock quickly when you are fixing the lock to a pole cq your bike.

Pros & Cons

Not heavy
Sturdy and idiot-proof
Key drops out quickly
Key must be turned when locking up

Secure and stylish lock.

- Azarja, 22 February, 2025

Recently got a nice bike. Generally, I never like a lock. But if I wanted to insure the bike, it needed an ART2 lock. I hesitated between this one and an ABUS. I found this one somewhat nicely designed. The 90cm length is perfect to wrap it exactly 3 times around my seat post. The ABUS came in 85cm and 110, which I found either too short or too long. I also liked the key better. Had to get used to the key having to stay in the lock to click it in.

Pros & Cons

Beautiful appearance
Fine key
Safe, ART 2

- Johannes, 16 January, 2025

Axa Absolute 9 ART2 is simple and easy to use. I fix my bike to a post or fence or also to my husband's bike. Fortunately, the lock chain is long enough.

Great lock

- Jeffry, 6 November, 2024

All in all, a good lock. Lock works smoothly and with 110cm almost always enough length to secure the bike properly. Only for carrying it is quite heavy. Use it at work where I leave it hanging there and don't have to show it off all the time.

Pros & Cons

Good protective coating
Smooth lock
Weight.

Goed stevig slot die moeilijk los te maken is

- Bernie, 10 May, 2024

Het slot is goed stevig en zwaar wat naar mijn idee fietsen dieven toch afschrikt om de fiets te laten staan

Fine and good lock. Highly recommended

- Niels, 24 September, 2023

Good lock, nice length and nice and heavy. Most ideal is the cover slider on the keyhole, which prevents unnecessary dirt in the hole. Otherwise easy to use, so highly recommended as far as I am concerned.

Heavy, solid, but exactly what I was looking for

- Twan, 15 April, 2022

Looking for a 2 star lock to secure my bike to something. Chose a slightly longer one than the previous one so it is easier to use for example a tree, bike or other object as an anchor. Because the links are a bit thicker, the chain then obviously becomes heavier. That is the only disadvantage. Lock works fine. Is nicely protected so the chance of damaging your bike is minimal.

Neatly finished
