is all-round hardened. Large diameter steel links protect a flexible
but though twisted steel cable.
ABUS has equipped the lock with a
flexible ABUS-Pluss security locking mechanism. Completely steel
encased solid lock body. This gives excellent protection against
conventional attacks.
The ABUS-Plus cylinder gives 250,000 different key combinations
providing highest pick resistance. Hardened steel completely
encases the handy double ball bearings. The leading Test
Institutes recommend the use of ABUS Steel-O-Flex Granite. This is
the only cable lock recommended by the Norwegian Insurance
Companies.
The modern answer to security
With its ingenious design combining strength and lightness (weight
1854 grams), the increasingly popular ABUS Steel-O-Flex Granite is
an exiting option for effective bike security. A tough 8 mm
twisted steel cable protected by freely rotating 22 mm diameter
hardened steel links gives excellent resistance to attacks by saws
and boltcutters. The lock is flexible and quick-to-use.
Conclusion
The ABUS Steel-O-Flex Granite is probably the best cable lock on
the marked. In a Norwegian test it was broken after 1 minute and
50 seconds. If you want the flexibility of a chain lock, but not
the weight, this cable lock is a good alternative, but a high
quality U-lock provides more security.
