Not as good as we would like. good for U-locks

Lock won't remove if you lock one hand and not the other. I myself thought it was impossible until I found myself at a crowded counter. I had to lock the lock without seeing if both hands were in the lock when turning the key (deaf lock). It was locked in the lock with one hand, but I couldn't open the lock afterwards, the key was in the lock and the lock stayed locked. and when locking the bike you can visually see that it is in the lock. If one end of the "U" is inside and the other is on aโ€ฆ

Pros
  • High marks for grip and durability from testers
Cons
  • I'll write later

Who knew I needed an overkill?!

I had a heavy chain blocking my way. I thought that's more than enough. Find out that he can be defeated in less than 30 seconds. Not this fool. This is hard work. Very durable, with excellent attachment to the frame included. I actually installed it on the rear triangle on the outside of the bike. It doesn't bother at all and helps with easy unlocking and locking again. In my humble opinion this is the best lock. If someone wants to steal my bike, it takes at least more than a few minutes toโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • boring packaging

Heavy, with slightly more width and length

This lock has a Gold security rating. It is heavy and has a soft rubber coating to avoid scratching the bike. Internal dimensions are 4.25" x 11.5", making it ideal for use with larger e-bikes. The mounting bracket is plastic, which worries me a little, but the locking shaft goes through the mounting bracket, which keeps it in place more firmly. The mounting bracket comes with a set of three inserts to fit bikes with different rack sizes. I was able to attach it to a crossbar that supported anโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • Fairly good, but...

Very strong mind!

Demonstrates workmanship. Other locks just can't keep up, no matter how brand loyal you are, this lock will make you believe for life! When you insert the shackle into the lock, it really looks safe, strong and secure. almost like closing a door in a high-end German-made sedan. The strut's 12" internal height along with the 4.25 internal width makes it great for my fat tire e-bike. I can put them on the rear wheel and seat tube and attach to the post or rear tire with the other and lower theโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Very impressive
Cons
  • Good but not great

It seems most of these U-locks can be cut with.

So I had a Kryptonite U-lock about 30 years ago, I figured it would do for my son's college bike. After seeing how many bikes were stolen during his freshman week of college, I decided to reconsider our bike lock. I started googling U-locks and this lock kept popping up at the top of the list. It appears that most of these U-locks can be cut with a larger bolt cutter. I decided on an ABUS U-lock because it was significantly cheaper than a new bike. This lock is heavy, you can feel it when youโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Not sure

I bought this with a Kryptonite New York lock and cable. The fastening material for this is well thought out and is supplied with spacers for different frame tube sizes. I guess I just leave mine in the panniers, the bike gets cluttered and the other lock gives me a heel kick when riding when on the rear triangle. This ABUS is much more expensive than the Kryptonite and longer, but weighs about the same, if not slightly lighter. A thinner loop that is more difficult to cut with bolt cuttersโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Absolute Legend
Cons
  • Great Price

Best but difficult to install with child seat

When I bought this lock I thought it was one of the best U-locks on the market. Turns out it's a slightly different Abus that doesn't appear on Revain. Spring. However, WAAAAY is better than a cable lock. So far there have been no thefts so I cannot personally confirm the security of the lock. But when it comes to ergonomics, I can say: a BIG thing. This makes it useful for locking your bike on non-ideal designs (the extra U reach is useful). But that complicates the installation. Trying toโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Unbelievable price

Ordered 300mm, received 230mm

Just to be clear, even what I received is a great lock. Abus is of very good quality and I have no problems with the processing. Abus manufactures the Granit XPlus with a 230 mm (approx. 9 inch) shackle and a 300 mm (approx. 11.8 inch) shackle. 230 mm seems cheaper than 300 mm. I specifically looked for the 300mm version because my bike has a gap between the down tube and the rear wheel. I wanted to make sure I had a lock that would go with it. So I ordered this lock advertised as "ABUS Granitโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Cord is shorter than other picks
