Abus GRANIT XPlus 540 U-Lock

Product Information

I think it’s better to think about your own individual circumstances and make an educated choice based on those. But essentially, the EaZy KF is a smaller mount, into which you clip and unclip the shackle of your lock, while the USH 540 is a much bigger mount into which you actually lock your U-lock.

There are also disc break versions, such as the ABUS Granit Detecto X-Plus 8077 and ABUS Granit Sledg 77 available. You have the right under The CCR (Consumer Contracts Regulations) 2014 which states that up to 14 days after receiving your goods, in most cases, you can change your mind and get a full refund.Different locks are better or worse at dealing with the multitude of other methods that thieves use. I was wondering if the 230mm version is quite enough for a mountain bike (hardtail, nothing out of the ordinary, but the tires are of course wider than a city bike), is it worth it to carry around a 300mm one or the 230mm is enough to lock the bike around town? The only caveat we’d add is that all U-locks are vulnerable to attack with a small hydraulic jack, so in use, always try to position the lock in such a way that you can’t get anything the size of your first into a space in the shackle. With this keyed alike system, you can use the same key for both the battery lock and the ABUS Granit Plus 470 U-lock.

Firstly I have to say your work here is outstanding, thank you, but I’m suffering from information overload. The GRANIT XPlus™ 540 U-Lock combines the highest-quality materials with the latest technology for protection against theft!

Specially hardened steel, power cell technology for protection against impact and attempts to force open the lock, XPlus cylinder for the greatest protection against tampering: The GRANIT XPlus™ 540 U-Lock combines the highest-quality materials with the latest technology for protection against theft!You’ve got to remember that the high security OnGuard locks are usually significantly cheaper than the equivalent locks from Abus and Kryptonite. If you want to get your wheel inside the lock, it will depend on how big your wheel and tires are and how far they are from your seat tube. Big thanks to Piaggio and repair/claims specialist 4th Dimension for supplying parts that allowed us to carry out real-world testing. Many of the individual products feature unique security innovations and Abus locks have proved un-pickable since the conception of the X-Plus and Plus locking mechanisms introduced over 18 years ago.

The ABUS Granit X-Plus 540 U-lock is a high security, high-quality lock, and one you might consider when locking up different biking gear. Plus, don’t forget, the double bolted shackle means that any power tool needs to cut it twice to defeat it! Various quality seals demonstrate the value of the GRANIT XPlus™ 540 U-Lock: It is VdS approved and has received seals of approval from institutes in Russia, the Netherlands, Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Norway and the United Kingdom.Whether you want to lock your locker at the gym, seal your love with a LoveLock or secure your basement storage room: We are sure you will find the padlock for your application. The one we tested requires the user to lock it into the mounting bracket, while the other one doesn't. The other u-locks with three stars (such as the Kryptonite Evolution Series 4 locks), all have 14 mm shackles. I also bought the GRANIT X Plus 540 for securing my bike at work, but I am thinking about getting a Trelock or Kryptonite for “street use” because I am afraid there are a lot of guys around using these special picking tools for Abus locks which are very common here in Germany. The deviation from classic U-lock designs (thicker bars with cylindrical shapes) creates a more lightweight yet still structurally sound lock.
