ABUS Granit XPlus 540 U-Lock + USH Bracket - Bicycle Lock with 13 mm Thick Shackle and XPlus Cylinder - ABUS Security Level 15

I've been using this for my hybrid bike basically leaving it for about a few hours at a time for college. The lock is pretty beefy and is in fact beefier than some of the bike racks I've used. It is pretty thick and is reasonably lightweight for the protection it provides. It is even recommended by well renowned lock pickers on Youtube, such as Lockpickinglawyer, as it has a very secure locking mechanism. The shackle's rectangular design makes it hard for boltcutters to hold onto. I also chose this lock because it seems to withstand a lot of force before you can break it with a jack. I use this lock alongside a cable to secure the front wheels and a rotor brake lock. Sometimes I even use another U lock with it if I'm going to leave it for longer. The USH bracket has been really helpful in carrying it around especially if you don't want to carry it on a backpack as I do because it hurts my back after a while. So far, I haven't found any cons to using this lock. Keep in mind that locks are only a deterrent. A determined bike thief would get through any lock. Although it is not on the affordable price bracket for locks, it is surely a worthy investment if you want to keep your bike.

It has a high build quality and is very sturdy. The lock is not finicky, it’s smooth and easy to lock and unlock. It is a deterrent and has protected my bikes on busy streets. It’s not too heavy and long enough to fit around even large bikes.

Having bought a new Carbon Fibre road bike and insured it, I needed to have a Gold standard bike lock for when I park it. I looked at a selection of these and eventually settled on the Granit-X plus. Fitting it is very simple, the lock is very sturdy and the key fits smoothly and very positively. The lock bar goes close tot he bike Fram after looking it to a secure bike stand and I do couple the lock with a cable through the front wheel to prevent that being stolen as well. I do like the light that is included in one of th keys, this is a great help when unlocking the bike from the security staple in my shed and I can see this would be great at night as well. Overall I'm happy with this lock. I don't know if it will protect my bike; if a thief is determined nought they will get what they're after but hopefully seeing this one being used will make then look to the next bike in the line.

NB: This comes with the USH bracket, rather than the smaller, slicker and more convenient Eazy KF bracket. To use the Eazy KF bracket, you'll need to order "Abus 9210 Shackle Clamp" and Eazy KF bracket. To fit the clamp onto the lock, trim away some of the rubber coating on the U shackle. The Eazy KF bracket allows you to clip the lock onto the frame and press a button to release, whereas the USH bracket requires you to unlock the lock to remove. The lock seems solid and the mechanism works well. This is the shorter 230mm version, a longer 300mm version is also available. You do need to turn the key to lock rather than the D section clipping in. Lightweight for the security rating which is Art Level 3 and Sold Secure Gold. At around 1.5kgs it is half a kilo less than the Kryptonite equivalent. One star off for value for money. At £70 it is expensive, but if your bike is worth it, you can't get much better for the weight. Please press the 'Helpful' button if this review is useful for you!

This is a solid piece of kit! A thief would have to be seriously tooled up to defeat this lock. The bar shape means that it will not rotate if cut, so the thief would have to make two cuts. I suspect they would move on to easier pickings. The lock comes with good fixings to attach it to your bike. As you would expect for a very secure lock, it is quite heavy, but lighter than others in it's class due to the bar design. The key has a LED light, which is a nice touch, but the keys are quite large to have in your pocket. The price you pay for security I guess. There is a plastic card with the key serial number on it. I suggest you photograph it onto cloud storage in case a replacement is needed further down the line. ABUS will supply additional locks for your key as well, which is useful.

Was unsure at first but the product turned out to be a solid purchase. like Does everything it should. Happy overall No regrets on this purchase. The durability is decent.

Fantastic bike lock. Probably overkill for my bike, but the inconvenience of not having a bike made me choose this one to make it hard to steal without spending more than my bike is worth. Great mounting system on the bike and lovely secure feel.

Bought this lock after a cable lock seized up at work and we had to get bolt cutters to free my bike so I could go home at the end of my shift. I bought the longer lock as I have to lock up to a concrete post as there is no bike rack at my place of work. This fits around the post fine and is long enough to go around the frame on my bike. It weighs a ton and I certainly know I've got it. Combined with the weight of the battery on my ebike, it is like towing a small elephant to work and back. Locked up at work with 2 other bikes both using cable locks, I think any potential thief would look at those before trying to tackle my lock.

Speedy delivery. Good solid product. I have had it for a week and so far so good.

J’ai acheté cet antivol ABUS Granit 540 pour sécuriser mon VTT Nakamura Summit Ltd. Il m’a coûté 80 euros. L’antivol est livré avec un support de fixation USH et différents adaptateurs, qui permettent de le fixer à différentes épaisseurs de cadres. J’ai opté pour un U de 23cm pour réduire l’encombrement et le poids sur le vélo ; je ne regrette pas d’avoir fait ce choix. Par ailleurs, j’ai privilégié le support USH au EaZy KF car je ne voulais pas prendre le risque de me faire voler le cadenas et son support dans un moment d’inattention. Ce cadenas est de très bonne qualité ; il est livré avec une clé avec bouton pour éclairer la serrure. La seconde clé en est dépourvue. Une carte de propriété permet de faire faire des clés supplémentaires si besoin. Le cadenas est classé au niveau de sécurité maximal par ABUS, c’est-à-dire à 15/15. Techniquement, cela permet de protéger des vélos onéreux et cela convient bien aux zones à risques. Après un petit temps d’adaptation, je verrouille le vélo en quelques secondes et met le même temps pour assembler le U sur sa serrure lorsque je reprends la route. Je suis content d’avoir choisi ce modèle (plutôt que le Granit 460 par exemple), néanmoins je pense qu’un individu équipé d’une meuleuse sans fil et d’un disque à tronçonner le métal doit réussir à couper le U. A mon sens, il s’agit d’un antivol dissuasif et de haute qualité, mais pas indestructible pour qui peut agir tranquillement à l’abri des regards. En conclusion, je ne regrette pas mon achat, que ce soit pour le support de fixation USH comme pour la longueur du U (23cm). Je conseille cet antivol ABUS Granit 540 en raison de sa robustesse et pour sa finition de qualité. Cet accessoire dissuasif est un complément indispensable aux vélos onéreux. Climaxe

I saved $140 Exactly as advertised The only drawback is that it is heavy and the frame mount for holding the lock when riding is impractical. Therefore I carry the lock in my backpack. But it is a formidable lock that will keep your bike safe in most places. It is also long enough to pass through the front wheel and frame if you want to secure the front wheel as well. I'm very happy with my choice.

Muy buen candado y de calidad excelente. Por lo que es bueno para dejar con seguridad el patinete. En mi caso lo llevo guardado en una bolsa/maletin ya que lo que viene de accesorios no entra en mi barra frontal al ser de más mm. Tiene un peso considerable.
