serious security (5 years usage)
By Alexander Smout
this is the best D-lock available to buy. it comes with 2 keys and a code card, so if you lose both keys you can call up abus and request a spare set.It weighs 3.0 kilograms. (the level 15 security d-lock, the abus granit plus 54, weighs 1.5 kilograms, and the Kryptonite New York D-lock is 1.5kg as well.)abus give it the following security ratings against different attacks:boltcroppers - level 25 securityhammer + ice spray - level 25 securityhacksaws - level 30 securitylock chamber drilling - level 25 securityjack attacks - level 26 securitylock body strength - level 26 securitycorrosion - level 25 securitylock picking - level 20 securityEDIT:I've been using this lock for 5 years now and am very happy with it.I have left the lock outside all the time for 5 years, there are no signs of rust and the locking mechanism is still free and easy (In contrast, my Abus granit plus 54 tends to seize up and needs cleaning and re-greasing every 18 months or so - inside the lock body where the D shackle locks in)Its worth reporting that in 5 years, locked to a Tricross singlespeed (RRP £449) in central london and left outside overnight in offroad parking accessible by foot, two attempts were made to breach this lock.Theft attempt #1The first was a crowbar attack to prize the bars of the D shackle apart. The lock was not at all bent and still locks perfectly. I found a crowbar and a slightly bent (aluminium frame) bicycle where some torque had been applied by the lock during the attack - better than losing the bike (and Specialized replaced the frame with no fuss for £50). I was very impressed that the lock was unaffected.Theft attempt #2Someone tried at this with a hacksaw - the plastic (weatherproof) layer around the bar was cut. The metal shackle itself received a surface scratch of perhaps half a mm deep. Considering this was left in offroad parking and the attack occurred overnight, I like to think that they got bored and gave up when they didnt get any purchase.I re-weatherproofed the lock by wrapping the shackle with a plastic freezer bags and then doing a neat layer of black electrical insulation tape to cover it all up again, which is holding fine.

By John H
Intended for motorcycles but also used on bicycles for serious protection ... this lock feels great and apparently us about as good as a D lock gets.It is heavy but then so are all 'solid' D locks.There is no mounting adapter but I intend to carry it in the pannier of my cycle or under my scooter seat.Operation is easy and smooth and better than the Kryptonite New York D lock I currently use on my bike. It is only a bit heavier too.The Abus is wider than my Kryptonite lock which makes it easier for me to secure the bike frame and rear wheel against something solid.I would recommend it but do be aware of the weight - security is always a balance ... and generally bigger and heavier is better for security but not for carrying around !It will withstand I believe a much 'heavier' attack than other D locks but can still be breached by professional thieves .... just like any lock. It is about making them look elsewhere as well as deterring the less professional idiots who nick bikes who will hopefully simply walk past it when they see what is securing it.I managed to source my lock cheaper than it is here - I paid £140 by searching online.
