Reviews over the
Abus Granit XPlus 540 ART3
4 / 5
Excellent lock, big, heavy and strong.
The lock works smoothly and feels very solid. It is large so you can secure your bike frame to a post or tree. While it is a large and heavy lock, it offers a high level of security for your bike.

Ich fühle mich mit dem Schloss viel sicherer.
Sehr sicher, einfach zu bedienen, top auch die Halterung. Allerdings nicht an Laternen etc. Zu verschließen.
Pros & Cons
4 / 5
Very strong and relatively light lock, but attachment uncomfortable.
I bought this lock for my gravel bike (as well as Pitstoppers from Pitlock) because I wanted a solid lock to use it occasionally as a commuter bike (in Amsterdam). This lock came highly recommended by a review website (thebestbikelock.com). It is a strong lock made of a stronger type of metal which allows it to keep the weight down but still gave it an ART rating of 3 stars. The size is large enough to be versatile enough (smaller shackle locks mean there are few objects you can lock your bike to). The only drawback: the bracket provided to secure it to the bike can only be attached to round tubes 15-36 mm in diameter. On my bike, that means I can only attach it in one way which means it gets slightly in the way while cycling (see photo). NB any lock can be broken open if a thief has enough time and materials (e.g. a grinder).

Very solid lock
Very secure and solid lock. Mounting options to the frame are not very good only way it will fit to a cannondale hybrid is in an awkward position for removal.
