Review on ABUS Granit XPlus 540/160 HB 230 – 9 Inch U Bike Lock for Enhanced SEO, Product Code: 111617 by Ronnie Polk

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Independent Test Winner

The choice was between this and kryptonite. ABUS beats kryptonite in strength test (YouTube search). a requirement that makes it almost useless. A) You must return the broken/damaged lock. B) You must take a photo of the locked bike on the same day. If your bike is stolen, chances are the thief won't leave it in the lock. Then you must remember to take a recent photo every day when you lock your bike. Based on this and the general feedback from the reports, I decided to simply use the stronger ABUS lock. Side note: Just as good as a mounting bracket (sold separately). It only fits a standard size bike frame. I have a 2019 Specialized Stumpjumper XL mountain bike and I can't use the mount/mount as it doesn't fit the frame as the frame is quite thick. So I just carry it in my water bag. I would give 5 stars if the mount worked too because I had to buy it separately.

Pros
  • Excellent Construction
Cons
