Abus IvyTex 7210 Chain Lock

Unlike traditional fabric sleeves that can soak up water or grease, the IvyTex mesh is engineered to be hydrophobic. It repels liquids, which prevents the chain from rusting and keeps the lock cleaner and easier to handle after riding in wet conditions.

No, the IvyTex sleeve is specifically designed to protect your bike's finish. The durable, soft-touch synthetic mesh provides a buffer between the hardened steel chain and your frame, preventing scratches and scuffs during locking and unlocking.

A 7mm square-link chain offers a solid balance between security and portability. It is robust enough to deter opportunistic theft in low-to-medium risk areas, though for high-risk, overnight storage in major cities, you might consider a thicker chain or a secondary lock.

The IvyTex 7210 is designed for high flexibility. The chain links move freely within the mesh sleeve, allowing you to easily wrap it around your seat post or frame for transport while you ride.

This model uses a key-based locking mechanism. It comes with two keys, and the internal locking elements are made of hardened steel to match the durability of the chain.

The 850mm length is standard for most commuters. It provides enough reach to secure your frame and one wheel to a standard bike rack or pole, though it may be tight if you are trying to lock both wheels and the frame simultaneously.
