The Abus Bordo Granit X-Plus 6500 is essentially the right way to execute what has been a failure by other companies: Make a lock that can compactly fold up for transport while retaining a high degree of security. There's a reason for this. Abus didn't skimp on materials or fabrication cost. In fact, this Granit X-Plus version of the original Bordo design is awarded Abus's highest bike lock rating (15), right up there with their City Chain X-Plus and the Granit X-Plus 54 U-lock.
Each Bordo link arm is produced from proprietary hardened steel, making it resistant to cutting and twisting. The pivot points are massively over-built and surrounded by the same steel.
The locking cylinder is Abus's X-Plus Sold Secure-rated Gold-level 8-disc cylinder with 1 million possible combinations.
The useable length of the lock is 85cm, making it appropriate for any locking situation. To protect your frame's paint job, each link is coated in a layer of silicone. This has the added benefit of keeping it snug and quiet when folded up for transport in the included frame-mountable pouch.
Now firmly established as the number 1 choice in high theft areas of Europe, Abus locks are the new best choice in North America.
