Great Lock
Good lock, although probably would get a longer one next time
Pros & Cons

Very fine lock
Purchased this lock several times already. Very pleasant to use. Long enough to secure the bike to something via front wheel and frame. Do recommend oiling lock occasionally. By the way, the lock is easy to saw through. After losing keys, it was cut within a minute with a grinder.

high security level but very heavy
You have to attach it to the bike frame. It is too heavy for the backpack
Pros & Cons
4 / 5
Feels safe
You need a separate key to use this lock, which is a disadvantage but immediately an advantage. In this way a thief has to pick two locks. If this lock would work with a pin in the ring lock, he would only have to break one lock. The lock is very heavy, 2 kg? So you have to carry a bag for the lock all the time. The length of 110cm is fine to attach to anything.

for a reasonable price a good and approved lock for safely parking your bike.
Good lock for extra security to be able to attach your precious bike to something. it is a bit hefty but that also indicates its solidity. now hope the would-be thieves will leave my bike alone

good lock
Great lock to secure my e-bike to the fixed world. you can be sure your bike is still there when you get back. is very heavy and bulky though. Actually more of a motorcycle or moped lock.

Good stuff, fast delivery!
I have great confidence in the "deterrent effect" this thick lock will have on thieves! For those who almost always bike with a pannier, this heavy lock is good to carry.
Pros & Cons
5 / 5
Good and solid lock which is also the right hallmark. Also last (October 2022) tested as best!
Works just fine and cover is very neat. Opens and closes smoothly and perfectly. Relatively heavy, but that is for safety due to the thickness of the chain and should be taken at face value.
Pros & Cons
5 / 5
Good High Quality Lock
Overall, very high-quality lock, weight is still good to handle. The only negative point for me is that the lock must always be "closed", it does not engage independently in the lock.
Pros & Cons

Top lock unless you want a lightweight
Fine lock. Had lost my previous Iven and have now bought another one for myself and my daughter. Opens and closes easily and at 110 cm is a good length to secure the bike to something. The sheath is also good and protects the frame. It is also durable in my experience. Other sheaths tend to come off.

Top lock!
Sturdy lock for my electric bike. Bike can be easily secured to a pole this way.
Pros & Cons
5 / 5
A secure, reliable, flexible and justifiably priced lock
The lock is easy to handle. Due to the chain links, it has a great flexibility, so that it easily wraps around all objects that you want to lock. That is always a bit difficult with a rigid link lock and is always annoying in the end. Of course, the Iven 8210 is heavier than some other locks, but it has a high level of security and the chain links are thicker. There are different lengths, so that there is something for every demand. A holder for the longer locks there is not, which is actually also obvious. I put my lock (110 cm) in my bike basket or backpack, so that he does not "jingle" due to the vibrations while driving. But also does not really bother. Just pack it or put something on it and it's done. The lock is unlocked by key and only opened by pulling one end out of the lock. Locking is achieved by pushing one end into the lock, but it is not locked until the key is turned and removed. Always remember. just snapping in does not mean locked. With the purchase of the Iven 8210 you acquire exactly what you want: a safe, reliable, flexible and price justified lock. Safe buy recommendation!

good lock
Great lock, you can easily attach your frame to a lamppost. The lock locks with the key in, then just turn the key to lock. very handy ! Furthermore, this lock is sufficient for most insurances

Fine lock with good length
Excellent lock, with 110 cm not too short and not too long. With this you can easily attach the bike to something. The lock is quite heavy, which is logical. It is also a pity that the lock cannot be closed without a key, which would be a bit easier to use.

Lightest ART2 chain of 110cm, likes super!
I chose this one because it is the lightest chain 110cm long with ART2 certification. Likes it super well, the outer fabric is very nice, water repellent and does not get dirty easily. Despite being a heavy chain (2.2kg) everything feels nice. Opening and closing also works well. You turn the key to open, it then stays put and cannot get out, then you pull it open, insert the chain and click it closed again. Then you turn the key back again and pull it out. This all goes pretty smoothly, you have to apply a little force but I personally like that. Feels mega solid.

Good lock!
Good lock. Feels very solid but not too bulky to attach to bike. Material feels high quality and comfortable to hold. The lock is easy to close and open. Also comes out best in recent ANWB tests of ART-II locks. Very happy with purchase.

Absolutely top rate service for this 1st time buyer!
I was struggling to find a decent security rated (and not shockingly heavy) chain bike lock for my daughter to use for college. This Abus lock was the perfect balance of those for me, but the only place I could find it online was with a bike shop I had never used before (or to be frank even heard of). So glad I took a punt on Mantel! The ordering process was straightforward, the cost was very reasonable and the delivery was nothing short of rapid! It actually arrived a day ahead of their already fast scheduled date, and in good time for the start of term. UK bike shops need to take note of how well Mantel operate; the best service I have received from an online bike shop to date! And we are a family of cyclists. I will definitely be using them again! Thanks

Both Mantel and Abus Iven: highly recommended!
I bought the lock based on reviews and (especially) multiple tests. I wanted the best lock, because a good quality bike lock can (and nowadays should...) prevent a lot of misery. The first impressions are very positive. The lock is very flexible and very solid in construction. I bought the longer version (110 cm), which greatly increases the possibilities of 'securing' my bike in certain places. And yes, where to buy the very best lock. I have ordered stuff from Mantel several times. Always to my complete satisfaction and always very competitive in price. Both Mantel and Abus Iven: highly recommended!

High quality heavy duty lock!
The bike lock is very solid and seems to be very safe! You always need the key to open and close, but you get used to it quickly. It is very heavy! But thereby also very safe :),

Sturdy, strong yet flexible chain lock
Sturdy, strong yet flexible chain lock. Good protective cover preventing damage to bike. Thick strong lock, good keys. In short, very satisfied and safe feeling when the bike is locked.

Highly recommended!
Very solid chain lock with ART 2 approval. The chain length of 110 cm is just right to secure your bike (and front wheel) to something. The whole lock is particularly well finished so damage to your bike will not easily occur.

Fine sturdy chain that protects the frames of our mountain bikes.
Fine sturdy chain that protects the frames of our mountain bikes. The only downside I can think of is the weight, but we chose this chain precisely for its sturdiness. For traveling we use a smaller bike lock.

Sturdy but flexible lock but heavy in weight
So what can you tell about a chain lock? This lock is very sturdy and flexible. But it has 1 disadvantage: the lock is heavy! I cannot judge whether a burglar/thief will get this lock open because no burglar or thief has yet reported using this lock.
Pros & Cons
5 / 5
Very competitive prices
Very correct and fast delivery

solid lock
Extra lock for my e-bike next to the ring lock to replace the chain that clicks into the ring lock. Makes it a bit more difficult for thieves anyway. Fine solid lock, fits well under the saddle, but a bit heavier.

Everything as described
The lock is as described...I can't judge how secure it is in the end, but I have it in combination with a frame lock...that should offer enough protection:-) Only the shipping service provider is absolutely not recommended. (UPS)
