Review on πŸ” Ultimate Locking Security with ABUS Pro Tectic 4960 by Devin Bro

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great lock for everyday use in low risk areas.

A great castle to just walk through our small town. This will NOT stop an avid bike thief, but it will prevent your bike from being stolen by an idiot. I first saw this on my wife's Electra Townie 8i electric bike. It has a slightly different model, it's a bit wider so that fat people can fit the bike better. The 4960 was big enough to handle 2.00 on my Trek Lift+. Note that unless you solder the bolts to the seatstays, installing this lock is a hassle. I ended up installing it with heavy duty nylon zip ties. At the end I will make a bracket so that it is attached more rigidly. I highly recommend also purchasing the Abus Pro Tectic 4960 Frame Lock Cable 12 x 100cm that comes with your lock. It has a connector that slides and locks into the side of the 4960, giving you a 1m loop cable to attach your bike to a rack or stand.
