Abus U-Lock

An Abus security rating of 12/15 indicates a high level of protection suitable for urban environments where theft risk is moderate to high. It is designed to withstand aggressive manual attacks like cutting and twisting, making it a reliable choice for locking your bike in public spaces for extended periods.

Yes, the 13mm hardened steel shackle is significantly thicker than standard entry-level locks. This diameter is specifically engineered to resist common bolt cutters and manual sawing attempts, forcing thieves to use power tools, which creates noise and draws unwanted attention.

The lock includes a dedicated frame mounting bracket, which allows you to secure the U-lock directly to your bike's frame. At 3.18 lbs, it is substantial, so ensure your frame has the appropriate mounting points or clearance to accommodate the bracket without interfering with your pedaling.

Abus locks typically come with a key code card. We recommend keeping this card in a safe place at home, as it allows you to order replacement keys directly from the manufacturer if you lose both originals.
