WHY THE PRICE IS JUSTIFIED

Cost is rooted in carbide protection around both body and shackle, a 27 mm structure, XPlus/Power Cell lockwork and an included serious mount. Independent testing found substantial material still remained after a grinder attack.

MATERIALS

Shackle and body armorTungsten-carbide material compound

Extremely hard armor slows conventional grinder cuts and consumes discs.

Shackle profile27 mm square/parabolic hardened steel construction

Adds bulk against croppers, leverage and saw attacks.

Exterior casingHard protective plastic

Protects paint and makes it harder to stabilize during attack.

·Riders needing a large armored U-lock
·ABUS keyed-alike users

NOT FOR

·Ultralight commuting
·Tiny frames with no space for its mount

DESIGN & ERGONOMICS

The best ergonomic detail is its supplied multi-position mount; keyed-alike ABUS compatibility is unusually useful for multi-lock households. At 2.19 kg it is bulky, but its 223 × 105 mm aperture is the most accommodating armored option here.

LONGEVITY

ABUS key code/replacement support and robust casing should give long service; keep the XPlus cylinder lubricated and inspect the mount hardware periodically.
