Hard to say if it’s deterred or stopped any thieves but so far so good. I would only get this lock for an e-bike or for a bike your REALLY care enough about to haul this heavy lock around. No joke, it’s a beast. The mount for this can bolt straight to standard waterbottle mounting location and is easy on/off with a satisfying click on the strap. The extra length is great for multiple bikes or, in my case, an e-bike you can’t get as close to the lockup point.
Pros:
– Thick secure metal bars
– Rubber coating is very nice to frame paint
– Secure locking mechanism
– Easy mounting and removal
Cons:
– Heavy
– Tough to get into locking position sometimes
– Extra length makes it a bit more clunky to manage while locking
NOTE: The dust cover on this lock(and potentially others) is fragile and will most likely break off. When this happens there are some tiny pieces that interfere with inserting key. You will need to remove the rubber casing around key area and remove the pieces. The lock will work as intended after. I talked to an ABUS rep and they said it was an over-engineered part that will be removed from future locks. They were super helpful and reassuring.
