Similar weight to a full sized U, but has a nice carry case and it folds up small, so easier to stow on the bike than a U-lock or big, heavy chain. It fits around slightly larger objects than my old U, but can take some getting used to.
What I like most is that the flexibility makes it easier to share a rack locking point that already has a bike on it than with a U, and I often need to do that at work.
Friend had one - love it . Easy to use - cool case to carry. All abus locks rock !
This is the long version and it still can come up short sometimes. Any longer would be way too heavy. Add a cable for the front wheel and a smaller one for the seat & post and pass the lock bars through it. I just does not get any more secure. Ideal for a e-bike where total weight is not such an issue.
This lock maybe be more expensive than a comparable U-Lock but its portability, flexibility, and tough design make it a good solid choice. I bought the Abus Bordo because it was more flexible for fitting around a larger mountain bike tire and seat tube. The metal bars and locking block have a thick rubber rubber coating to keep your bike protected. Overall this is a well designed strong lock.
This looks feels much more secure than a cable lock, is significantly more compact to carry than either a cable lock or U-Lock, yet offers most of the benefits of both. If you're looking for a solid lock that isn't easy to break or cut through, and still has some flexibility for wrapping around bike components or thick posts, this is your ticket.
What a great lock - Wont rust and so easy to use ! All abus locks are great - have many !
Great company - great locks !
